The team is doomed imo. I'd just plan for the Championship.

He's not though really. Atalanta play with wing backs and a back 3. The wing backs are basically wide players the way they play. Hence the excellent goal record he has. Germany also switched to a back 3 to accommodate him when his form was too good to ignore. Fantastic player but like I say orthodox left back would basically be trying him in a new position.

I don't think I've ever seen Gosens play left back in a back four for what it's worth. So it would mean playing 3 at the back. He's also currently injured still.

Good player - would be on board with that.

His choice of transport has won me over. As has the lack of mask.

They got Cornet in the summer for 12 million and he's scored better than 1 in 2 this season. Different position obviously but I don't think Burnley were gonna sign anybody this window as they're skint - now they'll probably at least throw the dice on somebody abroad. Like I say our hands are tied and if he keeps us up it's every penny well spent. But it could just as easily backfire quite embarrassingly if we're unlucky.

£20 million I know our hands are a bit tied but fuck me. Burnley will probably buy somebody who does better with the money.

There was a thing about him on that roadman version of Motd: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/58975861

That young English player who went to Barca, Louie Barry.

I'd totally agree with this. At his best Ramsey was a far better player but he's basically done physically these days. McKennie has actually been pretty good for Juve, but is probably not really the player they want long term, and there's been lots of rumours that they'd happily cash in as a saleable asset (Everton were strongly linked).

I have absolutely no issue with tasteful advertising within the stadium that is sold at market value and benefits the team on the pitch. Ideally any design scheme (including both sponsors and club lettering) should also, predominantly, keep the colour scheme of the club as priority. My primary issue with the Sports Direct was always the fact it looked atrocious and tacky, dominated over the black and white of NUFC and that it did not financially benefit the club in any way.

Looking at the fixtures I think we need a win tbh.

Big win for Atalanta. Starting to think they might have a chance.

Another absolute belter for Gianluca Scamacca tonight. Feel he could be brilliant if he could stay focused mentally.

Napoli vs Atalanta on Saturday night should be great. I'm at a family meal out and inwardly gutted.

Promising stuff from Napoli tonight that they can still do it without Osimhen. Probably needs a bit of an Indian summer from Mertens and being able to adapt the style of play.

With Milan faltering and Napoli without Osimhen for months things have opened up now. I would probably make Inter clear favourites at this point. Atalanta have probably put themselves in the mix too.

Messi has been pretty shit so far for PSG this season. You can clearly see he doesn't like the higher physicality levels in France.

Belenenses came out with just 7 players, then one went down feigning injury after a few seconds. Game therefore called off. What an embarrassment.

Hate to say it because it's early days but this is not really any different to the games under Bruce this season. Don't really understand sticking with 3 CBs when it includes a championship right back in there and we actually don't have any proper wing backs. Absolutely hate this system with these players - just amplifies all our biggest weaknesses.

Muriel goal was ridiculous for those not watching. Walked off the bench and scores a free kick with his first touch.

Unfortunately I think this team is just doomed. We'll be adrift in January so not even sure it's worth spending to stay up.

Really disappointed by Willock. Midfield two in general is a bit of a chaos, even if Shelvey has had some moments.

Aye I quite like more red involved in our colour scheme in general. Closer to the actual Coat of Arms.
