We won’t finish top 7 if we keep conceding at our current rate.

Now get Tino on.

Lovely placement.

What on earth is the defence doing?

We’re there for the taking.

I made this point in the Pope thread last week. But apparently I was talking shit according to some and its solely the midfield to blame and not Dubs! 

I honestly wouldn’t put Pope in the sweeper keeper category. Only two players I worry about on the ball are Burn and Pope. Pope outside of the box is the stuff of nightmares.

Murphy and Barnes on will get the job done I think. Confident we’ll get it done. 

We are too fragile at the back, I’m confident we’ll score again but not confident they won’t score too.

We’re going to need 5 to guarantee a win here.

Wilson looks dead.

Could it be the idea to let Tripps bomb forward and having a CB type on the other side staying back? Not that I’m buying it for a second. 

If he wants 3 x CBs just play 5 at the back.

Only player I’d back Burn to win in a foot race at the moment is Wilson.

We didn’t need to push up so high, it’s fucking infuriating this.

Burn started running as soon as Gibbs-White got the ball. Was still too slow.

Oh dear…

First warning for Burn/Howe.

He does need to address this issue but I'm not having the "Elite managers yada".

 

Jurgen Klopp didn't make poor judgements at Mainz? Klopp made poor judgements last season man.

 

Only 2 years ago Pep didn't play a DM in the CL final and got beat. Despite people warning against it prior. Great managers make mistakes. 

Yes and they learn from them. Let’s see what happens next.

Literally every top team and every elite manager uses two pacey, mobile, creative fullbacks.
Eddie isn’t better than all of them and doesn’t know something they don’t. There’s a very obvious reason none of them use a 6 foot 7 lumbering giant who moves like a 4 story blocks of flats at full back. Because it’s a shit idea and it isn’t effective! 

He needs to eradicate this blind spot he has very quickly. Elite managers don’t continually make mistakes like that.

I certainly didn’t enjoy that. I feel sick.

Good lord, some rare invention from the stands, brilliant that

Bit like Oasis, the lyrics are shit but it sounded great.

Should count this.

I feel there’s at least 4 positions that would be improved by having Livramento playing in them.

We’re slow in thought and action. Fulham much sharper.

Longstaff is really pissing me off

He’s absolutely mince on the left of the three.

Why would they accept that low of an offer ?

Rumours they still owe us money for Wood/Shelvey?

Feels like MGW is another player whom Ashworth and Co have profiled (I’d imagine Gordon and Tino were too). With Forest’s FFP woes there could be an opportunity here that we may decide to take. I’d normally favour a more cost effective continental alternative but this kid is class. Would be a hugely exciting signing.
