that doesn’t need to involve not giving the defence any passing options though . Midfield has disappeared.

what on earth are we doing this second half

This second half so far is crying out for ASM and Isak on the counter, like

Armstrong has low key done a great job pressing Burn. We look in trouble there a bit… hope we get Burn more options.

Willock has completely switched off since our second.

I love Sean Longstaff, can’t lie.

Wilson looks more up for it already

literally an hour of NUFC fan service from sky . I’d be raging if I were a saints fan

Sell everyone imo

A thread

Yet another reason to sign Maddison this month was that there'll be loads of team in for him in the summer with 1 year left on his contract.

Yeah, both teams were shocking at passing in the first leg. The pitch was frozen. It was way colder down there than up here iirc.

If we don't bring first team signings in today and we qualify for any kind of European competition this season, we are going to have to bring loads in the summer. Like... loads.

The Willock/Joelinton left-side system has yielded one goal in our last 4 league games. The saving grace is that we haven't conceded any either, but it does seem like it might be overdoing the work rate/defensive aspect at the expense of goals. We can definitely change the system to be more attacking against most teams imo.

His contract expires in 6 months

It must be a hard time to be a tory to be fair to the lad

Hope Forest don’t have any Arabs

He has not looked good since the first half of his Crystal Palace loan in 2021 imo. Caveat being he's better than Longstaff though. Loan with an option would be decent.

lying down as usual though

Think Carroll is worse. If you adjust his fee for transfer fee inflation it's over £100m in today's market

Mitoma to City for £100m in the summer, heard it here first

that's insane. Looks like he's deliberately gone to injure him

A draw/replay between these two would be good, ta.
