The Prophet

Absolutely dreadful cross like.

They'll play a second string in that you'd imagine.

I was just giving an example as to why there's more to it than pace and strength.

I would be tempted to bench Joelinton for this. At least he'll be available for Man United then.

There's more to it than that though. Look at Osula v Brentford. Comes on, plays a daft pass, the daft pass directly leads to a goal.

Yes.

Perhaps he just isn't ready yet?

If Isak requires a rest, I'd imagine Gordon will start up top.

Nah, nothing confirmed yet.

The bookies massively agree with you fwiw.

I thought it was somewhere inbetween. He wasn't at his best, but he was decent enough.

Re Villa, If anything is going to help us, it'll be them running out of gas.

Forest, Spurs and us are at their place where they've lost once all season. City is tough, but Bournemouth are out of sorts and Man United are shite. Equally we still have to go to Villa, Brighton and Arsenal. Then we have Chelsea to come to our place. Palace is a potential banana skin too, I'd rather play Spurs. It's a toss up really.

I don't think it's that bad. No harder than ours.

Hopefully the fatigue sets in again. The international break seems to have done them good.

Villa well in with a shout too.

Howe confirmed his groin isn't 100%

I like Leicester, but they're absolute bobbins. We simply have to win and I'm confident that we will.

Villa away and Chelsea at home are enormous games.
