Hope Gordon on the right looks better than he did when switched over vs Brighton. Had the reason the whole team was a bit shit though then.

Sancho would have to be a loan with no obligation. He's not found motivation despite a fair few managers. But I'm sure Man Utd would ask for some stupid fees anyway

Must win game. Think we will as well, 2-1.

Ah, the 'let's add 1 more year as we will look to sell you' contract extension.

Think people overrate him a bit due to our losses when we had him out and no other midfielder to bring in.

Back soon Somehow our medical team will find away for him to be out another 6 weeks or something like every other injury.

Can we sack the medical team, holy fucking shit man. Every single injury turns into far more weeks.

He had a full pre-season.

Only on for 15 minutes but we created basically fuck all.

It's really more that fans know PIF won't just piss about and wait too long for things to get better, they will absolutely look to change things quickly if it's not working.

Three centre mids....that couldn't do a damn thing defensively or offensively between them. Basically played 4-0-3 and nothing was changed to improve the situation, for an hour.

He wasn't really much of a part of the England setup though, just fighting for #2 spot, not even #1.

The forum hates Dubravka, but would stick him in goal next game. Remind Pope there is actually competition.

Cannot call him good on set pieces any more surely.

Maddison would have been massive for us, one of the real parts of midfield we miss.

I've been calling for a Creative midfielder since January to be fair

That would be fine if the performance wasn't an embarrassment.

6/10. Would have liked a Creative midfielder and a right winger. Made some good fullback signings for the future, not now, though.

Should never have started, clearly unfit.

Where did I say he was shit?

Why did he start a clearly injured Joelinton though

Continued his pre-season form. Absolutely shit.

Looked worrying in all but the Villa game. Needs to sort his head out.

Humiliating performance from the lot of them. Nearly lost as many games as last season already ...it's not even the losses though but the manner of the loss today and the one against Liverpool. Twice in a row Howe looked clueless and couldn't make any changes to improve us.

So, take him off, clearly injured and can barely move. 3-1 down, being down to 10 men means nothing.
