He was absolutely solid last season. Really good signing. Just had the knack to stop wingers dead with a full on block tackle. I always thought that if he an Trippier bomb forward then we are left open at the back with only Schar and Botman but Burn has been pushing way to high this season so not much difference there, plus we played well and got good results with Targett in the team last season anyway. Hard choice to make though as we're still one of the best defensive units in Europe. In April.

As someone else said during the week, the fact our owners went for Emery and Howe is pretty spectacular. Really like Emery and think he was treated like shit at Arsenal, not just by the fans but the media too. An absolute class tactican.

This looks absolutely solid to me and very very similar to how we already play in possession with the added benifit of two strikers who can play alongside each other or one in front and one behind. Even Murphy could play in Targett's position. Would really like to see this after Howe tweaking it to perfection. With hindsight this would have worked well against the aerial bombardment of a team like Brentford first half and also a team like Man City who can pin us back but we hit them fast on the break.

Some massive massive games coming up. Us v Spurs and Brighton. Spurs v Man Utd. Man Utd v Brighton.

Brighton win their game in hand and beat us they're theoretically a point behind. Honestly think they are the team to watch out for!

Who are Brightons extra games against? They have 9 to play but flashscores only show the remaining 7 fixtures?

One of the best things about Howe is how careful he is with his words. You can see he often takes a second or two to make sure the word he wants to use is suitable as he knows saying the wrong word will have the media jumping up and down and taking things out of context. Just one tiny element of why we have such a strong unit.

Will put a good word in to Maddison for us!

Here's mine. I was very generous to Spurs and Liverpool and had Spurs beating us at home

That Spurs v Man Utd game is massive for us. Best result is a draw I think so both teams effectively drop 2 points?

That technique on the last camera angle. What a player.

"Listen Gordy you shouldn't have gone radge like that. No one goes radge like I go radge and I'm telling you man you've got to know when to go radge and when not to go radge ok? Anyway, what about Lamps back at Chelsea hahaha"

Yeah could be that actually, Isak was definitely a lot deeper than Wilson out of possession so certainly didn't look like 442.

What did we switch to today when Wilson came on? Co commentator said 442 but looked like 4231 to me?

All of these jobs available/under threat this season and I've never seen a single mention in the media of Steve "1000 games" Bruce. Yet Hodgson and Fwank are back in the Prem. HA.

Surprised no one has seriously attempt to get Thomas Frank from Brentford. He's done an unbelievable job there and managed to get some big results against the big teams over the last couple of seasons. Give him a big transfer kitty and would build a really good side. Would hate to see it as I like him but Spurs is the perfect fit for him.

Yes with us signing Gordan. I remember seeing it from them for the first time and had a chuckle at how much of a bollocks story it was...

Takes 2 seconds to look at the knees of the players and onside. 3 minutes they took man

Miles onside why is it taking so long

I know we have come good in the end but that Mansour takeover offer will always bother me. We could have Haaland playing for us right now and a boatload of recent trophies if Mike fucking Ashley didn't decide to get shit faced ffs

Just popped to 2033 and back, yeah we're fucking mint.

Still think that moment during the match when Jones told Eddie to fuck off was a bit weird. I know stuff like that happens but really didn't expect that from our coaching team during a match. Didn't Jones say similar to Bruce during a game too? Not to gloss over a fantastic result and effort from everyone but that was really strange and not something I ever expected to see

Was he telling Howe to fuck off?!

Can't believe some rich fucker in Saudi just won an auction for £57m to own Charnleys old office chair.
