Coufal is first choice, who is next? Daft from West Ham not to have him as second choice

We could set up similar to how City did with Haaland and Alvarez, plus in some games season before last didn't Wilson play to the right a bit? When Graeme Jones joined and we did the split striker thing (Not sure if I'm imagining this)

His finishing was the most impressive thing, to make Allison look so average in those moments takes some doing

I've seen Liverpool do it before once they are up in a game, it's just called clever game management when they do it Obviously it's a rare thing for them as they usually outmatch most teams they face We've seen this arrogance from Klopp a lot over the last few years, the way he was upset that Spurs dared to take points off them last season I don't blame teams when they waste time against us, it's the responsibility of the referee to book players if he feels that is happening, not one of our players was booked for it I really hope their season collapses

I'd take Moura on loan as it would push Murphy down the order but not sure I'd want him on a permanent or with an obligation to buy He's been getting slower and slower, his pace is his biggest asset and at 30 it's only going to go one way

I've never understood how excited people get with his vague updates

Same, I genuinely want Everton to get a result against them on Saturday now

I'm still happy VAR is here, even if we have been shafted at times but we would still have been shafted without VAR. The linesman just guessed today and said it was offside, don't have VAR it doesn't change the outcome Obviously VAR should have given us penalties against Wolves and City but without it we still aren't getting penalties but thanks to it being there we avoided going 2-0 down to Wolves For me they need to look at offsides, there needs to be a better solution because the law wasn't introduced to stop goals with such fine margins being scored

But that's only if he agrees If he declines then surely they have to pay him what they owe?

T20 World Cup is in Australia and starts 16th October, that's probably his target to get a pay off

What the PL are doing is just to align with the change to UEFA's FFP, which will be based on wages to turnover ratio, so for us it doesn't really change anything as the ownership will be well aware of what to do, key thing being to increase revenue It being aligned makes it easier if anything because as long as we comply to UEFA then we we will automatically comply to the PL regulations

The Stoke manager he replaced is called Michael O'Neill

I don't At the time we told them what they were getting but a lot of them thought we were full of shit, that we were wrong and had unrealistic expectations, we harshly abused him etc etc So I say let them suffer a little longer, it will be a valuable life lesson

That was Schar, great pass with his left foot, Maxi struck the ball well but it was straight at the keeper

He's shit so hope not

From a GK situation we aren't massively better off as Darlow is an injury away from starting games Ultimately he wants away so the club have done what's needed to facilitate that. Whilst we don't owe him anything, we've seen how crucial squad harmony is to the work Howe has done and it's better to allow someone to have the move they want instead of them moping around. He's been a good keeper for us, so I have no issue with thanking him for that but I absolutely will not wish him well, I can't stand Man-U so I never want them to do well.

Bakayoko and Barkley would both be shit signings, hopefully we aren't interested in either

His passing was so bad today, was overhitting basic ones, then even getting some longer ones wrong He didn't hide like McTominay at least, gets stuck in but when his passing is bad it stands out

I wish that were true, the doylems that hated Ben Arfa preferred Obertan/Ryan Taylor to him

Doubt it, they have short memories In several group chats there were loads of comments about him doing too much, not passing, shooting, blah, blah, blah It's strange the guy that's actually trying things, whether that is taking people on, having a shot etc is the one that gets the most stick I'm glad he silence those, however we know the next time he has a quieter game they'll be out in force again It reminds me of people that used to give Ben Arfa stick but genuine shite like Obertan/Ryan Taylor got nowt ASM is brilliant in my eyes and I think Howe sees him that way too, he like Keegan/SBR recognises what someone like him can bring to the team

The one on Longstaff was a penalty but that one wasn't

Absolutely not

Howay Wood, struggling with basic shit man

That's never a red, VAR was desperate to give that

Celtic winning 9-0, how bad is Scottish football
