  1. Everton’s defence and midfield have been completely overrun here. Tarkowski’s made several errors, I like McNeill though
  2. Big appointment, should manage to turn things around fairly easily with the players Wolves have, even accounting for their injuries. I read a great thread on Twitter the other day though about how colossally badly run Wolves is so he’ll probably have to overhaul a bunch of things
  3. It’s not just the fact they’re good positionally, good in the air and on set pieces, it’s that they’re both so good with the ball. How many teams in the PL have a player who can drive with the ball like Schar or spray passes like Botman? On top of everything else, just pure class

    Nick Pope

    What causes a good goalkeeper to decline? Is it to do with decision making more than anything else? Because athleticism shouldn’t affect things until quite late on in someone’s career
  5. Not even surprising that Messi is over a point ahead of most of the best 11
  6. The championship is a great league like, there are only twenty points between top and bottom after 18 games and the bottom team have games in hand so it could be even less. There are currently 9 teams who are either already in the playoff zone or are one result away from it and a further four who are two results off it. No one’s even close to being cut adrift at the bottom. It’s exactly what a well functioning league should look like
  7. Milner going for the wife beater look to try and reinvigorate himself?
  8. Isak is going to murder opposition when he returns from injury
  9. Prefer having one set piece specialist in the side so it doesn’t get political over who takes them and create any division. Everyone knows Trippier’s dead ball delivery is way ahead of anyone else in the team and way ahead of most team’s options in the league

    Joe Willock

    Good thread that, echoes a lot of what I and others have been saying about his contributions to our attack
  11. You being won back round, Mole? Thought you'd ditched football

    7th-ometer

    That points total for 2022 is absolutely absurd, when you consider what went before it. Defies belief what Howe has done to transform this club. I know we’ve had great buy-in from the owners, made some great transfers etc and it requires everyone pulling in the same direction to have this sort of success but it all comes back to one man eventually and that’s Howe
  13. He’s been absolutely phenomenal so far this season, wouldn’t say it’s sad. If he has a good season here and a good World Cup then he should be allowed to piss it up in the MLS without feeling it’s a waste. He could of course continue to play for a top club for a few more years but I get it if we he wants out after this year, if only to play with less pressure on him
  14. When Walcott scores a hattrick against you, you know you’re absolutely shit

    Joelinton

    The man is too pure
  16. You also don’t want Ronaldo starting if you want to finish top four
  17. Was in the home end at the Emirates when we lost 7-3 to Arsenal in 2012/13. Was an absolutely vile experience
  18. Possibly reason enough to do a welfare check
  19. Was a great second half for a neutral fan
  20. This ref has lubed himself up for the home team here

    Joelinton

    Again, I completely disagree but fair enough

    Joelinton

    Fair enough, I don’t disagree that he switches off energy-wise sometimes and will never have the natural pressing element to his game that Joelinton, Almiron and Longstaff have but I think he responded well and the main thing from my perspective is that he offers us something different. If he had better vision/delivery he’d be a great playmaker but there’s a lot to work with in terms of his great running with the ball, his accurate passing on the ground and his previous goal scoring form. I think he’s got the most potential in our squad currently to reach a higher level than he’s consistently shown so far
