perhaps usually, but rightly or wrongly Howe hasn’t ever changed a team if things are going well, so over the course of a season the level of the first XI is significantly more important for him than other managers I’d say.

I don’t think any of those four offer an improvement to our first XI currently.

I just find Humphrey incredibly toxic in the most linkedin way possible

aye, treat it as a very expensive development loan and move on. Value only going to go up too. Would start ahead of Joelinton now in lots of scenarios imo.

it should be us. Provides extra value because of the club home grown squad space.

extremely sus keeper

Anderson came on and 35 minutes later he has won the most duels (6) from either side across the whole game basically the ideal Eddie Howe midfielder

Stansfield plays like a guy who knows he's not good enough

been watching Quansah at the under 21 euros. Not good. Poor with the ball and not solid defensively either. Charlie Cresswell next to him has looked better. Seems he’s off to Como.

has looked like a Bruno regen in the opening two games. Has absolutely everything in his game.

Elliot Anderson is much better than any of the other midfielders or forwards. I just find it devastating watching him run games like he did in the opener. Fuck PSR man

think it must be Conor Coady? Getting absolutely mauled by Slovenia in the opening 10 here, can't get out of our own third. Think McAtee is a bit rubbish to be honest.

it’d probably take £80m+ for Kulusevski but he’d be my #1 choice if it were possible.

8 tbf

10 out of 20 were penalties, yeah. This season 5 of his 10 goals were penalties.

worst 4th official performance I've ever seen

right back with a left-footed player cutting in and not taking up his space ahead of him and we'll see the best of him imo.

kind of enjoying Joe Hart on co-comms. Pretty good.

the best and the worst of Tino in the space of about 2 minutes

all of the squad there actually play (apart from Morton who's been injured for 4 months) though unlike Miley. Really good for Tino there.

just completely let his man go for a great chance for Czechia too, really poor

Anderson looks a level above everyone else

MGW fucking up the best assist of all time ffs

it's kind of reassuring to see that Gordon is shit/sulky for England too
