Remember when we were down 0-2 to Brentford and he changed to a 4-2-3-1 for that second half and we turned it around quite convincingly. We've hardly ever seen that system again have we? Thought that might be his reliable plan B but it doesn't seem like it. We went 4-4-2 against West Ham in the end so maybe he doesn't like it anymore. I do think teams are finding it easy to nullify us though. We set out the same every week and don't really give the opposition manager problems formation wise. Just mark Gordon,Isak and Bruno out of the game/ give them no space and / or sit deep,compact and force us out wide and we are heavily limited in what we can do. We can smash teams that come at us leaving space in the middle and allowing us to get in behind. That happened a lot during our Champions League qualifying season, but hardly anyone allows that now and I think the results reflect that.

Getting a bit dodgy now. We've spent a shit load of money, have some class players and we're not looking like we're going anywhere. Getting results like the west ham on Monday and forest at home nearly a year ago is unacceptable.

Man City man

Tbf when Tonali played we were wide open in midfield. Longstaff came in and we started getting results so I can see why he left Tonali out. Needs to find a solution with Bruno,Tonali and Joelinton though as that has the potential to be a very strong midfield with loads of creativity. Just need to find that balance. Shocking performance though, we looked so untrained. Simple passes and decisions just miles off.

TBF I do enjoy Carra's analysis. I think it's very good and streets ahead of what you see on match of the day

Time is 7.15, Ahh I'll turn the footy on now to enjoy the build up to tonight's only game. Man Utd,Amorim,Man Utd stats, Spurs, Man City...

Born in Norwich and when I was about 15/16 went in our local pub for the first time which was owned by a 40/50 year old mackem. I had my Newcastle top on and he said to my mate "get him out, I want him out" My mate calmed him down and I was "allowed" to stay. So petty ffs

Why does Vlac remind me of CR7

Wilson?

'Your Walkers, your Kanes, your Pickfords' So Walker,Kane and Pickford then Lee

I remember when G.Nev first joined Monday night football. His insight was absolute top class. Like nothing we had seen before. Love it when they get current managers on too, when Rafa was on etc it makes you realise exactly why they're at the elite level.

Lump in my throat watching that. So many incredible memories. I remember that Burnley home game when we were camped on the edge of our own box in the final minutes hanging on for dear life to win that game. Then fast forward to that PSG game. What a difference.

This should be good. 30 mins long apparently.

I've got sky through my virgin TV subscription. Would that still work on the sky app using my virgin log in?

Being owned by the wealthiest owner in the World, yet another owner being heavily in debt and them being allowed to spend more is just a mockery of "financial fair play" and "sustainability" It couldn't be anymore blatant about what the actual agenda is. We have an owner willing and wanting to put say 1 billion into the club, but we can't buy a couple of 50m players as it risks us going bankrupt and ceasing to exist. It's an absolute pisstake and has made my true love for football diminish. Job done for the greedy cunts I guess. Still, I can't wait until we get there, because we will, and it's going to be so sweet seeing the look on all their faces. Richard keys, Daniel Levy,Delaney. All of them.

Technically we're so so poor. Simple passes and first touch is horrific.

I'm 42. Like you I've seen my club play in 3 major finals and my Country play in 2 major finals and not seen a single trophy lifted Complete pisstake.

Poor result but my boy is still capable of smashing a result away at Chelsea, bringing them back up here then smashing them again sending them out of the cup. Before welcoming Arteta to St.James' smashing him as well, and sending him back home to his place of non-time wasting , non-back pushing and ball still in play place outside of his own technical area. Eddie knows we're shit at the moment but he'll sort it.

Maybe Lee Dixon should just fuck off as he's clearly not enjoying it. Moaning bastard. Anyway, get Watkins on FFS.

If the little shitbag Delaney is claiming this is a good thing and it will strengthen PSR () then I think we can safely say this is a huge huge positive in our favour, as whatever he says, the complete opposite usually happens.

Not officially but from little bits of info on various things I've seen over many months you can basically nail on Liverpool,Spurs,Man Utd, West Ham,C Palace,Arsenal for a start.

Oh look. What a surprise who's backing with the PL...

Season before last I think it was we were very creative with set pieces especially our corners. Always looking to catch teams out and it felt as though you never knew what trick we had up our sleeve next. Strange that all that had disappeared, with hardly any pre worked routines now and just mostly punt it in the box.

Ah yes of course, the good old "huff and puff" If you don't huff and puff enough you won't win in this game. Brucey knows that more than anyone. At the end of the day,they'll roll their sleeves up and move on to the next. (Judge him after 10 games)

Haven't read the article but does it explained why we signed up and why it was for so much money? I just cannot understand why we do it with PIF supposedly agreeing with it too?
