Going to be a ridiculously long 45 minutes (or 52 once the ref keeps playing on)

Rashford goal is guaranteed

Ashley has properly scarred us when we are being linked with Trippier and people are panicking over the fee Those stingy days are behind us, stop fretting man

I do think Wijnaldum improved aspects of his game at Liverpool due to being involved in the game more, though here he wouldn't see as much as the ball Wijnaldum would be good if we are getting someone like Kamara as well but wouldn't be happy if he is the only CM we sign

I do like Lamptey but for where we are right now Trippier is the better signing by far if we can pull it off He's better defensively, good on set pieces but also he would provide the squad with a lift that someone like Lamptey couldn't

Leicester gonna win this 5-4

I'd love to be wrong but I just think our position makes that a very difficult sell

I get that but why is someone of his level going to come for a relegation scrap? The same could even be applied to Botman though he is younger and likely to be on relatively low wages I think we need to be realistic about the level of player we can attract due to our league position

Our situation dictates a Koulibaly signing isn't realistic If we stay up then maybe, otherwise it will be in 18 months assuming we get promoted at the first attempt

Just about to ask that Very odd

Ramos gets sent off for PSG, he's racked them up in his career like

It's strange they didn't do this last season when we also had disruptions However I haven't used mine so not complaining that I have 2 free hits

I hope Fati can remain injury free but I fear he'll just be one of those players that is constantly injured, which would be a shame because he's a serious talent

Nah man, they have the Loch Ness Drogba, they'll be reet

Did I hear the commentator right? Did he describe Ross Stewart as the Loch Ness Drogba?

I would, big improvement on what we have currently

What a finish

Another one for Nketiah and that should be game over

The names you mention are from 5+ years ago, I should have been more specific in that I'm talking about the second relegation onwards The contract extension for the likes of Clark, Gayle despite clearly not being of the level we need shows it was about saving money Carr clearly identified some good players, him with a bigger budget would be interesting but he is 77 so not sure if he's capable of doing the same level of work

Clark like quite a few others were signed with the objective of getting us promoted, we always thought the plan was to then start building a solid Premier League squad, not immediately but over time Yet here we are 9 windows later and we still have Clark, Lascelles, Ritchie, Gayle, Hayden etc and to compound things we've added Krafth, Manquillo, Hendrick to that list Clark and the others represent the Ashley ownership, it's all about doing things on the cheap

Reading about him, seems like he was influential in making sure that at England all age group teams work in unison, that is something I would love for us to have here. That joined up thinking is key for the future, if we are to start developing our own players then that path into the first team needs to be seamless

They will have known relegation is a possibility especially considering the situation we were in when they took over It wouldn't surprise me if they took a conservative approach and planned it around the very strong possibility that we go down but get signings in now that we can sell the idea of maybe a year in The Championship (so maybe Tarkowski, Nketiah etc)

I like that side of him, we talk about how too many of our players are nice and very timid, he is not like that, he's always letting the officials know what he thinks and he is aggressive with the opposition players Unfortunately being passive and nice just doesn't cut it in this league and our players need to toughen up

The reasoning they gave made no sense Ronaldo got a penalty against Norwich and he was nowhere near the ball

Reckon we'll see a late Liverpool winner here
