He loves the game too much, I could see him taking on a championship club pushing for promotion that has some ambition. I agree that a lot of PL clubs will be wary now even though it’s not really justified

Those stats are rough, I’m a Willock fan but I think he needs to play in a high-possession side that moves the ball quickly so that he can make runs to get on the end of the ball. He’s not good enough with the ball at his feet to play a CM role and he’s not great at defensive work other than pressing and nipping stray balls away. If we can’t get in behind teams then he’s fairly redundant unfortunately. I still hope it can work out for him

Class quotes, he’s made for this club

Happy to be updated if he ever goes bankrupt, dies or goes to prison

That is immense like

Hehe, what kind of damage would it do to you if Brazil get dumped out pre the Semis?

Messi looks like he’s coming into form at just the right time. Hope he goes out on a high

He got a three year ban for that

What the fuck is that headline? I don’t read Mail articles out of principle but if the article matches that headline it’s an absolute waste of space. The lad’s been here for three games and played amazing in the Liverpool match. Honestly, how can you be in a job with takes like that

He can head back across goal but when have we ever seen Burn attack a header? His go-to is the loop-it-up-in-the-air header and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him head it down at pace

Massively wide open, we’ll go on a great run at some point as well, don’t think it’ll take us long to click when we have ASM, Bruno, Isak and Wilson all starting

Botman and lascelles are our best aerial attacking threat on headers, Joelinton is alright. Apart from that, we’re relatively weak offensively in the air considering how tall our squad is

Burn’s our best player at moving the ball on quickly? What are you talking about? Botman is an incredibly good passer, both short and long

Based on what I saw of Everton the other day and their home form under the Tory I don’t think there’s any hope of them getting relegated. Think they’ll end up having a relatively comfortable season and finish 13th-14th

Very fair comments @CherryPie, I was dead against Fraser staying on with us last season until he started putting in outrageously high effort performances. For Eddie’s high press system I thought he could work, especially as he can actually whip a ball in but he seems to have slowed down, is picking up injuries and is not going all out like he was last season. I think it’s time for him to move on to a lower PL / upper championship side

“Newcastle spend lots of money but still look to the player who scores 1 in 2, despite having spent a lot of that time playing for a fucking dinosaur”

When this lad got sent off against Spurs last season and we’d just been taken over I couldn’t wait to get him out of the club. Completely changed my opinion on him since then, his attitude has been very good and he’s been one of our most consistent players since Howe came in. He’s not an amazing player due to his lack of athleticism and his dribbling quality, but his reading of the game and his passing is great and offers us something completely different from our other options

Thank fuck

West Ham are so laboured going forwards, Bowen’s not on a hot streak anymore and Antonio is getting on a bit. They don’t look like they’re going to score at all

Don’t think that’s a red at all for Nakajima. He’s playing for the ball, foot is barely off the ground and not even coming in at great pace

The short passing in this game has been good, especially from Everton but long passes have been shocking

Don’t need sensible logic, just need international football to fuck off. I came back on board with the England team when we had Bruce but I’m back to resenting international football again now (it gets a reprieve during the World Cup and Euros)

Clearly trying to show how mature he is in order for Howe to slap another £5m on our offer in January based on his character

We’ve got a shite record down there from memory, still 2-1 win to us, with Mitrovic in floods of tears at the end begging to come home

The first 11 are going to have to win this for us. I don’t know Bournemouth’s team at all, they got any quality?
