“Put the PowerPoint on slideshow lads. You’re going to want to see these stats on the big screen. Dim the lights Pepe. Bruno F, you’re on snacks.”

Can’t really see the logic in selling Anderson at all. Obviously we’re not in Europe so his game time might not allow him to develop as much as we’d like but he is a good player and is worth more than we could get for him right now

Think Nico Williams will get player of the tournament

Aye, think there’s a decent chance that happens

We use ChatGPT for all our scouting needs nowadays. Gamechanger

Definitely a weird one. Not great news for Anderson it has to be said. I reckon another season and we’ll know whether he’s good enough to stay with us and his value would increase. What would he realistically go for on the market right now? £6m?

Does sound like a great way for us to lose a decent chunk of money in the long term to save ourselves in the short term. Is this the best we can do?

I’d just go for - intent or if not intent, does it cause the ball to lead to a chance or goal that otherwise wouldn’t have happened without the hand

Sick to fucking death of handballs like that being given as penalties. Genuinely ruining the game as a contest

Utter utter joke of a decision

I disagree with that. He is a good striker, he’s very good in the air, has great movement and is a natural finisher. The issue is his fitness and the fact he’s not a very versatile player. Is he a top 4 striker? No, but he could be as backup if his fitness wasn’t trash

Ooooof, Cerny

Great start to this game

Nut’s not going to stand for it Strawberry and neither will the rest of us. Let’s get a hyphen and some brackets with info in that title

Getting DCL and losing Minteh would be a sickener

Who wanted Longstaff again? Leicester? That one seems to have gone quiet

Brexit Jim could be dead by the time Ashworth is there. Time is money for the old timer

If DCL was able to be fully fit I still struggle a bit with understanding what his role would be in the team. Isak is our star striker. DCL is a fairly traditional striker with good movement but he’d have to occupy the Centre Forward position as he can’t drop deep or do the build up play so what’s the plan? That he only comes on when Isak comes off? E.g. he’s a sub? He’s good enough (if he has a clean bill of health) to be a starting striker for over half the teams in the premier league but not for us. I’m a bit baffled by this one

Playing multiple players out of position and several others who are unfit. What could go wrong?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jun/21/england-players-fitness-pressing-gareth-southgate Maybe pick players who are at their optimum. If Saka has fitness issues then why is Palmer not playing? If Kane has fitness issues why is Watkins not playing. Absurd stuff this

Nice finish

I’d seriously consider putting Kante in my best 11 of all time. He’s ludicrously good

He’s one of the worst in the PL, just guesses most of the time what to do I’m sure
