Eddie Howe is a fucking genie

All the space is for our full backs here against their narrow front shape. Perfect game to get Target on.

BIG JO GOAL MACHINE

yeah, mostly

Longstaff/Murphy off?

Schar's lost all of his duels so far

I just don't like it when we have Joelinton on the left. No width out there with Burn at FB.

We deserve to be behind. Hopefully gives Howe good reason to get stuck into them at HT.

Lucky

He played those two games before the international break with a hamstring injury as well, didn't he.

ASM being out would be a blow, like. Attack looked blunt before he got back in the team and he gives us the width out there.

if your laptop is in the states it's on peacock which is like $4.99 a month

I mean you can but that’s totally pointless because they don’t have to be registered in order to play. You don’t have to register 4, it just means you don’t get a full 25 man squad of over 21s if you don’t.

If we get into Europe, looking at the squad we only have Longstaff (+ maybe Dummett!) who is over 21 to count as club homegrown. You need up to 4 else you can't register a full 25 man squad. With us probably losing Dubravka, Gillespie and Darlow in the summer and maybe Karius too I wonder if it'd be worth getting Krul to come in as 3rd choice keeper? He's obviously shit nowadays and has been dropped by Norwich but he'd probably never play and it's a free slot. I'm sure he'd be up for it.

Rice is absolutely made for the 6/8 hybrid role threat Longstaff plays and rotates with Bruno, mind. Would be dream stuff.

We were amazing first half. Some of the best football I’ve seen all season. Our goal was sensational.

Yeah, was gonna say the same. It will be minimum £85m if they stay up. Probably more. Seems out of our range at the moment.

honestly I am not sure any of our other players on the field at the time score.

Was a decent bit of keeping for when Wilson probably should've shot first time too. 'kin hell, we could've had 8 and we were sub-par

I agree he was knackered from the off and was really poor individually, but it's pretty much impossible to drop him because he is a part of the defence with the most clean sheets in the league that has conceded 6 goals fewer than anyone else. He is very important tactically. Teams cannot switch play to his area of the pitch aerially because he will just win the ball. Even though he was poor tonight therer were times where West Ham were desperate to get the ball over to Bowen direct but couldn't.

Bruce was playing Hayden and Krafth ahead of him at CB so it is a hell of a rise from there tbf

I'm convinced a few months ago he buggers that assist up or goes for it himself. He's playing with a load more confidence these days.

I think the only reason he looks slower is because he's less head down now and is looking for passes. He'll find the right balance I'm sure.

Fair play to Murphy, like. Can’t drop him.
