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.

How many PL games has Ashby played to show he’d be an adequate second choice for the second half of the season btw? I’m not saying don’t sign him but getting rid of Manquillo so that our back up right back would be a lad who has made one senior appearance would be insane.

New cryptocurrency board game

personally think it’s quite scummy to do this to your boyhood club who pay you pretty well and are fighting relegation. Seems like an arsehole thing to do. I’m not convinced by his ability, but I’m even less convinced by his character.

I love him but he is obviously quite dumb

Yeah, just saying I don't think the delivery is the issue but would agree we haven't been as threatening since the WC. The chances are there though... We just aren't putting the ball in the back of the net often enough.

We still have the highest xG from set-pieces in the league fwiw

Love this. Perfect attitude.

Sure, and I truly hope I am embarrassingly wrong

I’m not sure how a scout can watch us and think we need Anthony Gordon, like. We’re desperate for some actual quality and technique.

I’d still be taking Willock out of the team (for ASM) ahead of him, like. Midfield looked a lot better when we did that and it allows Bruno to be a bit more creative.

I still don’t get the constant criticism of him. He’s good and I thought he was fine tonight. Defensively he never misses anything. Nobody’s passing was good in the game from either side.

Agreed. Maddison could get ~15 goals a season in this side

he’s not good but I love him
