Super Duper Branko Strupar

It's fucking hitting me now. I'm going to be an absolute mess if we win this like

@Interpolic

Pffft, I couldn't say he was a solid PL starter right now. For who? Fulham? Palace? Everton? West Ham? I don't think there's many teams in this division he'd be starting for on the reg with his current form. It's a crying shame. I'm not sure whether pre injury Willy is still in there, I hope he is, but there's barely been a glimpse. And where does he get enough time to build back to that? He's been poor for us of late and it all looks very laboured and clunky. Still only 25 as well. Should be a good sale there, but I fear we'd struggle. We can't keep him I know that. D.

Let's hope it's Big Joe so you can make the most of the space available and get Joelinton Cássio Apolinário de Lira on.

Or James Earl Jones.

Class news. Best CB in there this season tbf.

So you are a moron. Got it.

Shut your simple shite you cheeky fuck. I can't believe anyone watches us and pisses their pants like a toddler because they can't see the grey areas in football.

Id love to see if you'd moaned anytime last season about all our injuries being down to our intensity and pressing. Id wager you might have.

We'd drawn more and lost less then compared to this year, scored 1 more and conceded a lot less. We had an awful start this season and we've had a bad dip, that's undeniable and it's annoying. But you don't get to say we've regressed massively when we absolutely haven't. It's just hyperbole.

I think you're looking at the 22/23 season through rose tinted specs because we finished 4th. Remember, we only did that really because other teams we'd expect to be above us finished below us. Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea. And we played a very certain way, well 2 ways really. First half defensively solid, second half high press. We also had Burn at left back everyone got on the back of, Longstaff in midfield. To name a couple. Now we have Hall and Tonali which have been huge upgrades and have us playing a different kind of football. I get this season has been frustrating, bar that huge winning streak, but to say we've regressed massively just isn't true. Id like to see the side by side points totals for this stage of the season between now and then. Also more teams this year have performed at a higher level who are now dire tly competing with us who weren't then. Bournemouth, Brighton, Forest, Villa, Fulham maybe. Your statement was way OTT.

This is just not true.

And another.

Arteta channelling Pardew with the amount of left backs playing.

Tierney Merino Sterling

Tough one this. Hard to accept his rather rapid decline. Part of me wants to think it's confidence and just poor form and will improve, part of me thinks there's no coming back. Will go C for now and mark down as required as I think it's fairest.

You fuckin what?!

Over actual highlights?

I think that was my fault tbf. I laughed when he came on and called him useless.

His attacking has regressed and Im not sure why. Ive not been as impressed with him so far this season as I have any other season Ive seen him play which is a shame, I do think he'll imprive again though. For now a C, but I think he has B in him. Probably been a B before.

When he gets to Dorgu and Dalot's heatmaps.

Ridiculous

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjw29g426nvo Match of the Day should show fewer Premier League highlights and more analysis, says BBC chairman Samir Shah. Shah said the show "should not be built around highlights". He added: "It should be built around analysis and examination of the match to give viewers a deeper insight." Get to fuck you clueless idiot.
