I was going to smack myself in the face with a hammer, but I've just read the last 5 pages of this thread, so I don't have that urge anymore.

Sheffield United.

Dubravka; Trippier, Burn, Schar, Hall; Anderson, Bruno, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.

Also, watching FotMobs live "PlaybyPlay" feature at 6:30am with -10°c heat isn't the one for anyone wondering.

Phillips was our best signing in January, game changed when he came on

People shouldn't be happy with a 4-3 win when being 3-1 down, have a word

FUCKING MASSIVE.

Bruno to get a yellow now, so 5 players from this game are unavailable midweek?

Phillips a contender for worst ever January signing?

If Leeds don't go up, we should be looking at Summerville.

Why are you so quick to put blame on the club for everything at the moment, and see everything in a negative light. There is literally no evidence one way or another that was or wasn't happening for the bit in bold, that is literally pure conjecture based on absolutely nothing.

Genuinely interested, what has Howe done that O'Neil has that ranks him higher? Howe got Bournemouth from League 2 to keeping them in the league for 5 years, and then got a team from Relegation certainties to Champions League in a season and a half. O'Neil has two mid-tables finishes.

Arteta has been class I'm not denying that, but I'm basing Emery as higher due to his career to date, Emery has won multiple European trophies, and have had success at multiple clubs. As good as Arteta has been, he's only won the FA Cup in his managerial career to date, and his clubs have fallen short over the last two seasons, that said I do think Arteta (along with Alonso) will be the best in class of the next generation of manager.

Based on my own personal biases this is the list imo: Pep Guardiola Jurgen Klopp Unai Emery Mikel Arteta Mauricio Pochettino Eddie Howe Roberto De Zerbi Ange Postecoglou Erik Ten Hag David Moyes Marco Silva Thomas Frank Sean Dyche Gary O’Neil Andoni Iraola Rob Edwards Nuno Espírito Santo Vincent Kompany Oliver Glasner (no idea about him) Chris Wilder

ALMERIA WON A MATCH!!!

Huge result and comeback that, the stuff of champions

My flag bearer.

Ah, so you're changing the goal posts to fit your argument, got it.

Basically, think the set-up was pretty solid. Other then that one Haaland one on one, I can't really remember them having a "clear cut" chance. Even their two goal, Dubravka saves them if not for unlucky deflections.

Given I thought we where going to be utterly pumped, I think we did better then i was expecting, and I feel like where weren't bad that overall, we weren't amazing by any stretch, but we also weren't horrendously bad. Thought, for the most part we defended well, and limited them, and it was two utter shite deflections that undone us. Also think that was the best we've been in possession for a long while, and that every player were dedicated to the game plan. Ultimately we came up against the beat team in the world on their own patch, and we didn't disgrace ourselves.

Interesting time to make this point when we've literally just changed everything from the way we setup against Chelsea.

I feel like we actually werent that bad? The game plan hasn't been horrendous, and I can't really remember them having a clear cut chances, with us arguably having the best chance of the game and they just scored two utter flukey goals (Fuck knows what Botman was doing for their second). Man City have obviously been really good in possession, and "dominated" the game, but it's not like they've carved us open time and again. Frustrating game.
