You're on your way if you backed it!

Burn & Longstaff bookings at 28/1 Longstaff & Ramsdale at 60/1 Xhaka & Joelinton at 11/1

Wasn't that just a message for Dean Smith?

TIFO's content is generally canny like. Their delivery style is spot on with little in the way of subjective opinion.

GTFI, honestly can't wait to see him in the team week in week out

We are smart :/ Whether we loan or sell him we'll do what's right for us.

We must be selling one of the 4, otherwise this is just odd.

Can't see anything other than a straight forward loss, I just hope there's some positives in the performance to take away from the game.

Nowhere near a fan of his but no need to go over the top and call him worse than shit. We're third and he's played a lot of football...

It's almost as if people would have been screaming for Beckham to play RB if he was playing these days

Not usually one for this type of craic but....fingers crossed.

One OG and a red card wasn't it

What a fucking finish

Unbelievable, that, howay ffs

Aye, Pacqueta is completely bollocks in that team. They'd be better off with someone like Isaac Hayden

"Cool story, bro."

Get yourself to the Beehive

I'm undecided on Tielemans tbh. Is Howe going to get more out of him than Rodgers? Undoubtedly, yes. However, I'd rather go for a younger, hungrier type like Caicedo, although Tielemans is more a direct Shelvey replacement, but do we actually need one?

Nor should he.

We've certainly never had a team like this in my 35 years. Our previous good sides in the last 30 years were always hampered by the lack of a solid defence. This is the first time I can recall us having it all, ridiculously solid at the back whilst still scoring goals for fun. It's great to be able to stick it to the charlatan's in charge before Howe who repeatedly told us that we couldn't have both.

Yep, I remember pundits raving about how we "love a number 9 up there" when all I wanted was the second coming of Woodgate. Botman and Schar is up there like, can't recall a more comfortable center back pairing in my lifetime.

That just shows how shit we've generally always been defensively. So many free headers and rebounds falling to the opposition inside the 6 yard box.

Quick Pick -> More rotation -> Instant result TBH

This is going to be some day
