I’d do the sub-forum again, kept things tidy and was great to have a thread for all the games

Not sure we need to make any major judgements on the lad. He offers something completely different in our side and is an outstanding dribbler, yes, he has struggled generally to play the right ball and weight it well but with some of Howe’s coaching he could easily improve those aspects of his game. Looking forward to seeing what he brings over the rest of the season and hope he stays injury free

Remember his transfer to Liverpool fell through because of a medical, no? Did he get some bionic legs after that? I remember thinking he looked amazing in clips when I heard he was going to Liverpool

I mean, he’s both our best player and up there already as one of the very best players to have ever played for the club, it doesn’t mean that we can’t criticise the way he took his penalty

2-1 win, Botman and Willock

It makes absolutely no footballing sense to do a stutter run up: you have no momentum, you’ve already used up more energy than you need to, it gives you extra time to think, you probably can’t time how you come onto the ball well so its difficult to gauge quite how much power you need to generate. Needs fucking outlawing before it happens again at NUFC. I think players do it thinking it’s going to lessen their nerves as they can slow down and speed up when they want to and feel more in control but it does the absolute opposite

Think he just left after things got too positive around here

Are they a Ken M football Twitter account? From reading other tweets, this must be them Ken M’ing

Agreed. I’m absolutely livid that people were calling for him to get minutes, incandescent about it in truth

His penalty was marginally worse than Firmino’s miss

Please be a home tie. Please be a home tie

Lerl at West Ham

Bruno, sort your run up out, that was like watching a car crash in slow motion

Fuck’s sake, that was horrific to watch. You bloody legend Pope

Bruno, Botman, Wood, Saint-Max, Trippier I’d go with

Oooff

Wasn’t Will Hughes touted as a big prospect? What happened, he just didn’t push on?

Sounds like we’re piling on the pressure or as Steak Bakes likes to say, pressure on the piles

Raisbeck having to not only commentate on the whole match but also try and explain for the listeners what Ando’s sounds mean, it’s a joke man

Definitely Schar on, I’d imagine Lascelles might be alright on Pels but that’s based on absolutely nothing other than him having a good attitude

See how you feel if we make it to a semis or final soon

Fuck me, Burn has to be one of the worst headers of the ball in terms of attacking threat in the PL

Sounds like a game that's been massively lacking in attacking quality for both sides, not a massive surprise given the line ups

Ando is essentially just a sea of different groans, most of which sound despairing, but some are just confusing. Why doesn't he just record a few hours of groans and then randomise them each time we play? We'd get as much of an understanding about what was going on on the pitch

Might be a blessing this isn’t televised, sounds rough from both sides so far. Although the last couple of minutes have sounded a bit brighter. Forgot quite how much John Anderson is the human version of the meme ‘man yelling at clouds’
