Smal

I think he's our best player by a distance .

Anyone who's happy working for the daily mail is a cunt, like.

Man Utd home was pure ecstasy. If we were as clinical in that game as we were in the last two it could’ve been owt

We'd be mad to sell him unless we were bringing in a talent on the level of Kvara or Leao imo. Even then I don't see why ASM couldn't operate from the right in this system.

was terrified when he went down injured. Over 9 fields gained by pass. Miles better than anyone on the pitch at progressing the ball.

I dunno, maybe they didn't see it as a problem last season seeing that he'd managed to play in 35/38 games.

No, and that's kind of the point. For someone with his explosiveness, going from doing low intensity training to very high intensity training immediately will be destroying his muscles. I think a full pre-season with focus on flexibility, strength and conditioning would do wonders for him.

Is he the only one left over from Rafa's staff?

Last season he made 35 PL appearances. I think he's just been unlucky this season and it will take time for someone with his physiology to adjust from training once a week under Bruce to what Howe has them doing.

Lucy Ward is normally really good on commentary to be honest.

Earlier in the season I’d have been all up for replacing him to be honest. Whilst it was clear he had ability, he didn’t look capable of getting the numbers he should be getting for someone who plays like he does. The last couple of months though… he looks like he might develop into something special. His assist last night has gone under the radar a little but it was incredible. He has much more to unlock as well, I think. Like first half he was barely involved at all, but he really stepped it up second half and helped make the difference.

He was knackered after half time, like. Needs some more games but I’m not sure he’ll get them now.

the combination of words in this post is surely gonna set off some alarms at GCHQ

I don’t understand why it was on yesterday instead of today?

Another top class performance from him. Perfect striker for games like that.

it was all about weathering the storm and holding our nerve. Wait for them to inevitably run out of steam and take our chances. Last 20 minutes they didn’t really get near us apart from a weird goal from a corner.

Once they ran out of steam we absolutely took the piss out of them . There were leagues between these two team. Leagues.

cannot believe what we’ve just seen from Isak

Targett is absolutely blowing. Understandable though, this is an extremely physical game to come back to.

Just hope Trippier’s ok. Him and Bruno have looked like the only two players capable of using the ball.

Willock’s had 17 touches the whole half, like. Needs to get involved more.

Trippier is dominating this game. Just get him on it whenever possible.

ah no, the saudi kit. Guaranteed L.

I think the ruling is that it isn't a handball because Thiago ends up using his arm for support. It's dumb as fuck.

he's on a few watch lists, like
