Tyler thinks he’s playing

Should count imo

Aye those textbook league 2 looping headers from 18 yards.

Perez being an absolute minge

Living life on the edge with the most dangerous scoreline in football.

But aye other than the pointless pretentiousness we probably agree like.

I think we are in the same sphere of understanding. It's just that i'm looking at it as a fan and you're looking at it from Rafa's perspective (a man that fundamentally didn't rate Mitro for what is likely a mix of personality and ability). We as fans should be disappointed that Rafa has sold a player what at 20, scored as many PL goals as his replacement has in his best PL season in 3 seasons. And is 5 years older. getting the best out of Mitro would've solved a lot of problems. Likewise Mbabu. errr nar As a fan Rafa is managing my club so his perspective is sort of intrinsically linked. I'm not disappointed as it was pretty obvious from early on that Rafa never saw a place for Mitrovic for whatever reason, so I'd prefer he had a striker he actually wanted. He wanted Rondon instead so whatever. If it was Pardew selling him it would be different as I would have no confidence at all that whatever he was doing was of any benefit to the club.

Aye. I'm not saying it's not Rafa's issue like, I don't know the full reasons why they never clicked, if Benitez thought he never fit into the side or if it was his attitude in training etc (there's things to suggest it was both IIRC). I doubt Benitez is amazed he's went on to do well or anything though. I don't think he'd consider it a mistake selling him unless Rondon completely flops.

So 1 in 5 then

Mitrovic never looked like 1 in 2 striker under Benitez though. I've always liked Mitrovic and thought the hatred of him was absurd - there's always been obvious talent there - but selling him seemed the right choice imo. For whatever reason he was never going to fit with Benitez.

You’d reckon heaven stock better than bottles of brown like.

When he's on form Shelvey is good on the ball from anywhere on the pitch like.

I just hope we don't come out in the 2nd half allowing Bournemouth to dictate the game with confidence from that goal. Every time we go forward we look like we can create something.

Paully Dynamite

Great having a player who can whip free kicks in across the line of the defense.

Ameobi like in it's execution.

Erotic from Ki, Kenedy & Rondon.

It’s sad as fuck but no way should a proffessional football club’s official twitter account be doing that

It's a proper friendly that was announced in April. That’s absolutely embarrassing like. International weekends are shit as they are without this nonsense.

Is it like a testimonial game, or a normal England friendly which we’re pointlessly wasting?

I remember when this thread made me feel warm inside.

Aye, I don't really see the point in trying to claim some sort of authority on how people display respect after a passing like Clapping is fairly common nowadays for one reason or another.

Disagree with everything he's said there but I've missed Shola like

I mean I don't think we should hate Lascelles forever, but it was one match to show him (and anyone else) that licking Ashleys ring isn't going to be perceived well. I don't know what people cannot understand about that

fuck off man
