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

Would like to see us push the boat out for Kalvin Phillips. An absolutely perfect replacement for Shelvey in our current system. Would be fine with a £50m+ fee too.

Laughing here at comms going wild for Coutinho’s pass for Villa’s second. I would expect pretty much any PL midfielder to be able to make that pass. Leeds were wide open.

Rarely dispossessed but passes the ball to the opposition a lot. We would improve massively by playing Bruno there imo. I know single pivot isn’t his preferred role but he would be better than Shelvey defensively and would retain the ball much better.

Our left backs have stunk the place up for so long like. What a relief to even have someone that can simply just defend

Was class in the second half.

Definitely benefitted from not having a game for a while, but he always has this kind of performance in him when things click. Absolutely ruined them.

We were absolutely superb without the ball today. The press had logic behind it and we’ve found the right shape. Best I’ve seen us in that regard.

Can’t believe what I’m seeing. Guy is so good.

Just stay onside

Thank me at full time, lads

Ryan Fraser totally invisible again

I’m not at all optimistic about him but he has been fine so far today. Absolutely not his fault that no one is getting nowhere near him when the ball’s in the air and he’s winning it more often than not.

CAPTAIN MARVEL

I didn’t think it was possible but Jonjo Shelvey might actually be too thick to play football.

I’m thinking Bruno for Willock before HT.

Wish players would anticipate Wood winning the aerial duels, like. ASM and Fraser just stood whilst the ball is in the air.
