Ben White is the standout but i’m pretty sure Bielsa is a large part of that.
-
We got a player who wanted to move back home and another who plays for a team in 7th in the totally uncompetitive Ligue 1. We are not signing Man Utd, Liverpool or Man City's first team players
-
lads we have won 3 games, not the champions league.
-
In for a penny in for a pound on the morals eh.
-
dunno how reliable this guy is
-
I still think the non-tracking back at the beginning of the second half was a tactical change to keep him further up the field as he basically wasn't in the game first half. Saw Joelinton pointing at him to stay up a few times. It was too weird otherwise.
-
You don’t think we have been much more effective winning the ball higher up the pitch in the last couple of games? We are not good in possession at all and we’re still massively over-reliant on ASM in attacks, but we are playing well without the ball now I think. The defensive line is much higher and there is an organised press that starts very high. I think we’ve won games because we’ve pressed effectively, got the crowd on side with that and been more organised generally.
-
Can’t believe someone said he was poor tactically. The way he has been playing in midfield but covering the bulk of what would usually be ASM’s defensive work as well takes an extremely tactically adept player.
-
Everything good about our recent form has been our work without the ball, not with it and Wood has been good in that regard. Surprised at how fit he is to be honest. He hasn’t been good in possession admittedly, but I don’t think it’s fair to say he’s been shite as it ignores the above. And honestly I am/was gutted we spent £25m on him.
-
Big Dan Burn and Schar were pretty flawless like. Hard to make an argument for Lascelles to come back in even though I like him more than most.
-
I’ve a feeling the ASM thing is tactical. Jo’s been pointing for him to stay out there.
-
That was a cracking tackle by Mings
-
Get Bruno on now to give the crowd something. Joelinton left wing if ASM’s injured.
-
His pressing has been a bit part of why we’ve been effective. I don’t rate him at all but strange to be critical of him today other than that err…. shot.
-
He was fine
-
must be doing it right into a microphone
-
wtf is the squealing
-
Wood
-
Landed badly on his ankle I think.
-
Not a lot but he does progress the ball more than any of our midfielders iirc
-
Pleased to see Fraser running behind a lot more. Looks way more dangerous.
-
Always want draws because 2 points are given out rather than 3 tbh. Everton are in it now and so are Leeds if we win tomorrow.

Man UFC clearly need to hire Southgate to get the best out of Maguire and Shaw
