Dyeyzzon

I've consigned myself to the fact that the only pass he can do is the lofted one.

WAKE UP LADS FFS.

On the plus side, i don't see hoofing and we'd rather pass it along the midfield. Sadly, our passing's been totally off.

Defoe always scares the f*** out of me.

Was thinking willo on and perch to RB as Anita will predominantly play DM here. We'd now rather have Willo than Simo. Lowest of the f***ing low.

Aye, then Santon right to match his pace. Hope Tiote's fine though so we can do the change.

Simpson's not doing anything at all to convince me he'd step up.

Good work Ba.

Hatem Ba

Our Freekicks still seem like they're aimed where Williamson would normally be even if he's not playing now.

Tiote off for Anita?

An early yellow for Simpson.

Hatem defending

Jonas winning those free kicks time and time again as always

Wake up.

Relax Timmy lad.

tiote'd himself

Could also see Tayls scoring. COME ON LADS!!!!

A bump.

I'd say 3-5 because it took Ba around 2 games after Ramadan to come out of the blocks tbh

His main defensive weakness is that he has zero recovery when he is beaten. The other thing I don't quite like about what I saw from him last season is that when he's left for dead because of an error, he seems to prefer letting the others pick up the pieces for him rather than making the effort to atone for his mistakes. What's worse is that he seems try to wash his hands clean and argue at times even when it was his fault in the first place.

16-20 for me. If he does not go to the ACoN though, I'd readily upgrade that to 20-25.

This. Always have a soft spot for them tbh, always making it to the top half without the bling, but with a disciplined and close-knit squad.

Problem is Bale is going to get in behind him as well. Bale v Simpson
