Sancho didn’t help himself with the ridiculous dive like. If he’d gone down without the theatrics I think he’d have got the pen. Agree that they were probably both pens.

This kid has all the attributes to be one of the best CBs in the world. Genuinely unbelievable we got him and Bruno for a combined £70m or so.

Pope didn’t have a save to make until his kamikaze run off his line in like the 87th min or whatever it was.

Least he’s available for Everton

Yeah, if you look at his progress over the last 18 months he’s gone from 6 months of training with a non league outfit under Bruce, to 6 months of regularly playing League 2, to now 6 months of training under Howe and alongside players like Bruno, Wilson, Trippier and Botman. Even if he hasn’t played as much as he’d hoped, his knowledge, understanding and tactical awareness will have developed massively. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get an upper end championship loan in January, somewhere like Norwich or Blackburn would be ideal.

Klopp ranting about us again. The fume is glorious. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/14/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-manchester-city-ffp

Whether it be this season, next season or 5 years time, we’ll soon be leaving this lot in our rear view mirror. It’ll be one of the sweetest parts of the journey.

Well no, because if he plays it will be because it’s highly unlikely that he’ll miss the birth. There’s no way Howe would let him play if there’s a chance he could miss it. The first thing Howe did when he came into the club was learn about the players families. You do know only about 4% of children are born on their due date, right?

He won’t miss the birth of his child, Flumpo.

You’d have to be a right cunt to miss the birth of your child because you’re kicking a ball around, like.

Just registered. Fingers crossed.

I can live with the stadium sponsorship under these owners as I know it’ll be invested in the club.

Not changing a team because they won last week is a pure PFM tactic. Howe is a lot more intelligent than that. He will pick the team who he thinks is best placed to win the game, whether than be 11 changes or 0 changes.

I think we’d be looking for ridiculous money to even consider selling him - like £150m bracket. He’s going to be the best in his position in the world for the next decade.

Think he’ll start the same team, and we’ll have plenty of options off the bench, especially is Isak is back. 1-1 draw.

Woodgate-esque, but better because he’s not a smog.

Seems like the main man has been taking about us.

Two years with option of a third. Includes some sort of coaching/mentoring responsibilities for younger players at the club too.

Signed a contract extension apparently.

Before the season I’d have said West Ham were the big threat to top 7, but they’ve been pretty poor so far and will have a lot of travelling etc. I think the biggest threat is Brighton, will be interesting to see how they go under their new manager.
