St1pe

He’s not involved enough aside from those big moments and when he’s not scoring just seems to drift for me. Although I only caught phases of the game last night though so happy to be wrong about it.

Barnes has disappeared in the last two games after a good run like he so often seems to do. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Gordon back in against Burnley.

Interesting to see who takes the more creative role out of the midfield 3

That chance he had cleared off the line just before Thiaw scored his second was absolutely beautiful play by him. I don’t think we’ve ever had a striker as calm yet pleasing on the eye.

I was all for signing DCL on a free in the summer. Seen him a bit this season and I’m pleased we didn’t. We’ve just been unlucky with Wissa.

Love the look of that line-up. I think we’re gonna smash these tonight

I think we’ll win this. Both fullbacks playing. Barnes to continue his scoring. Scouse mackems in the mud.

I’m not sure what sort of message it sends to Ramsdale or any other future no2 if Pope can keep dropping clangers and getting away with.

He’d be a good pick up for Palace for the fee he’d likely go for.

It’s definitely the last part. You can tell he’s trying to work on it with all the pr and mentality stuff. I honestly find it bizarre the narratives some fans have imposed on him on the back of him being shite. He’s definitely not a striker though and it’s only harming is form further shoe horning him in there. This season is going to be a bit of a cross roads for him for us I think.

Aye

The whinging in this place man. We’re about to play in the Champions League you fannies

If that leaked formation is accurate the left side of Murph lwb and I assume Willock the left side of the attacking players is actually bonkers… 0-3

I quite fancy our pressing style against De Zerbi but you just never know if we’re gonna be passive away from home. I think the lineup could be anything tonight as well because of how many games we’ve got coming.

This. It actually pisses me off. Neither have really grasped the position. *I don’t mean this overly negative mind but just when you expect one of them to kick on and make it their own they hit a dry spell 😂

Forgot how good the next morning feeling is after a good win - consuming every highlight/interview possible.

We’ve got a result against them under much worse circumstances but I’m not seeing it today at all.

I wonder if it’s time he moves away from the 3 in the middle formation. Maybe have another sitting midfielder a long side Tonali to see if we can regain some control over games - especially away from home

Hard to see any positives after that. We need our fullbacks back asap.

Given people were expecting us to be shit some of you do love a good early moan when it happens

Yeah I really expect a bit of a reshuffle

Would take Gordon every time over Trossard in our system ffs

Just a special fuck you to the “I hope Sunderland come up because I miss derbies” lot

We’ve won like 6 of our last 8 games and people are going on like we’re absolutely shit. 0-2 Murph with some sort of assist

I can’t help but feel for Trafford or rather the grief he seems to have generated. If that Donnarumma saga hadn’t have developed he’d be City’s no1. You can see why he went for it. It just hasn’t worked out yet.
