  1. I thought it was a great challenge from the Leazes but I’m looking forward to seeing it later on in the highlights. If it wasn’t a good tackle it’s baffling why it wasn’t reviewed
  2. I probably would given the quality of other candidates

    Jamal Lewis

    Did we pay up his contract? What kind of wages can you get in Brazil?
  4. What do gardening, PEDs and an obnoxious twat have in common?
  5. Such an immense footballer, has it all to be one of the best in the world in his position for years if he can keep going
  6. His ability to receive the ball comfortably under pressure and then recycle it or look for a creative pass is similar to Bruno. He won’t get the ball stolen off him much but it’ll be because he releases it quickly rather than Bruno’s technique of drawing fouls. Those two together are going to be absolutely class. Need Jow to step it up a bit though
  7. We clearly didn’t park the bus, we just don’t seem to be able to pass the ball with control. Our midfield lacks quality passing other than Bruno and obviously Tonali who came on late. Those two in the middle will transform our midfield. Our defence isn’t great at passing either, Tino’s strength is carrying, Krafth is obviously not a strong passer, Burn is not going to make many passes that aren’t very safe and Kelly is not a great passer. Pope kicks the ball onto opposition players heads with alarming accuracy. So moving from defence into midfield and then attack is very difficult unless we break fast. If we build slowly under a press we lose the ball so much with our current 11. It’s different with Schar and Botman thankfully
  8. Hmm, they were very good last season but they’re one of the few clubs to have had a terrible window like us. I think it’ll be a tough game to get a win in, I’ll go for 2-2
  9. That couldn’t be more of a red card really
  10. And I’ll repeat this in case anyone wasn’t listening Man U are so back
  11. Enzo trying to lock in that early payout after a draw at home to a Palace side with a totally fucked defence
  12. Maybe I’m being harsh on him, but just going off what I can recall
  13. He did do one lovely switch pass out to the left, I’ll give him that for sure
  14. I’ve got a lot of time for Sean. Out of possession he was outstanding in our top four finish season, genuinely brilliant at the press. Given that we no longer seem to press his shortcomings on the ball are extremely evident and it’s noticeable every game in my opinion. I might be biased but I think I generally try to see all players strengths and weaknesses
  15. I’d much prefer Gordon left, Barnes right, at least until we’ve seen enough of Barnes on the right to see how he gets on
  16. I appreciate the loyalty to players but I didn’t think he played well today at all. He got bullied off the ball as usual, once when we had a really nice break on. We need players who are better on the ball in the middle as our midfield was totally overrun today and when we did get the ball back we couldn’t hold onto it. We looked a completely different team in possession when Tonali came on
  17. Yeah, I can recall a disaster of a pass which came close to us conceding but he also did a lot of very good defending today. Just not good on the ball
  18. Personally thought Joelinton had another poor game and I know Bruno didn’t have many options a couple of times but I don’t want to see him dribbling with the ball past multiple players, that’s not his game and he’ll always lose it
  19. I haven’t seen the own goal as I was in the Leazes but he was a colossus at times for us today with some massive challenges and blocks
  20. Gagging for Tonali to limit Sean to a handful of minutes each game. It really is time

    Nick Pope

    No one should ever go back to him when we have possession, it’s basically a 90% chance turnover of possession if he kicks it
  22. I like his recovery pace, I don’t love his short passing
  23. That lack of a right wing option looks hideous in terms of Murphy or Miggy coming off the bench, yes I know Murphy got an assist. Thank fuck we’re now moving to a Barnes and Gordon set up
