Willock is a better player than Murphy could ever dream to be

Yeah, he had no impact on the game at all yesterday. Not all his own fault though as our ball retention throughout the team was poor

I’ll take a two-goal deficit loss as long as we play well. Will be a test for Man City as we’re one of the toughest away fixtures but they’ve just got too much attacking quality

Wish we’d gotten Sekou Mara to be honest

Hope we get the balance right with this lad’s development versus what the team needs this season. If he’s not getting minutes then I want him loaned out but we know with Howe that he likes to bed players in slowly. I don’t think Howe will keep him in the squad if he’s not going to get some proper game time but I don’t know much about his time at Bournemouth and what he was like in bringing through academy players

Based on today, ASM was more concerning than Almiron. Almiron harried all game and made some good runs, just his delivery let him down. Maxi had a game to forget. I love Maxi but even if Eddie gets the best out of him and gets him playing more for the team, I don’t think he’s ever going to be super consistent game to game. If we do manage to become a top six team we’ll need a player we can really depend on every game, but we’re obviously not at that point yet

It wasn’t that he was flustered, his quality was as good as ever. It was the fact that his awareness was a bit poorer than usual and he got the ball nicked off him three times. No major issue at all but just testament to how good Brighton’s press is

Was a difficult match, it lost all its pace after 60 mins. Was in the south stand so couldn’t see a lot of the action at the other end and couldn’t make out why our goal was disallowed. What was the consensus? I felt Bruno had his poorest game for us, Joelinton was quality. Our back four were mostly decent, especially Burn and Botman. Almiron made some good runs but couldn’t come up with anything from them. Wilson battled well but couldn’t get any space and Maxi was off the pace and lost almost every 50-50 he had today. A point was good for us although Brighton shaded the game for sure

That line about Pope was class, did he honestly have no idea about the Twitter nonsense yesterday? Sounds like he didn’t

Good chance that’s us like. We’ll hopefully be trying to keep it quiet

If Chelsea pay that they want taking out the back and getting a bullet in the head

Ah right, even so, mad price and hopefully he sacks them off when he can

Man U putting a £120m price tag on Rashford whose contract expires in June ‘23. Impressive stuff, hopefully he doesn’t renew and he goes for fuck all in 2023

Nope

He’s an angry man who only cares about himself. That speaks to a lot of people

I don’t have an issue with Forest’s business at all, they’re being really ambitious and it could work. They’ve brought in good players. The major issue is getting them to gel as a team quickly. I don’t know much about their manager but he seems well regarded so it’s nice to see him being backed

Don’t think we have enough pants shitters on the board to get an award out of it but there are definitely enough bed wetters

Wow, that could actually happen. PSG could put in a big bid, Rashford is clearly not enjoying himself at Man U and Man U won’t want to lose out on a big fee for him. Can’t see Man U selling without lining up a replacement though

Can we get a biggest bedwetter award in the forum awards this year?

If I had to put money on, I’d put it on him. Would Poch go back? Not without major assurances about spending you wouldn’t think

100%

Not sure Jotenko is a man I can put all my trust in

Think playing in this Saturday heat could cause Longstaff to disintegrate, shame given that Shelvey’s out

Yeah, I’m an empty husk right now but one thing that would push me over the edge would be a thread that dies out almost immediately with a Bailey or Edwards K.O. tweet

Soon as a bid comes in from us, get the thread open and the yellow ticket primed. This definitely sounds like the prospect that seems closest at the moment
