Bit shocked we started Botman here.

Shola no idea what the hell he does. Hopefully we study what the other leagues do, Bundesliga is arguably the best in Europe right now at development, scouting etc.

Sad that he's not been given the opportunity to build on what was technically out of his hands last season, poor guy had 24 players thrown at him last season, somehow managed to settle them in the latter half and stay up. I think if you're ever a promoted manager you really have it tough, many never get a chance.

Leverkusen and Leipzig, those sides background and recruitment have been seriously good. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/how-bayer-leverkusen-simon-rolfes-use-aws-transfers-player-development-right-18815

I'm really not understanding shouts for Solanke? The owners have said many a time, we will look to sign elite level players, he doesn't strike me as elite level. He's having a good season, with 9 goals, but previous poor stats for a striker. If we have Isak, and Wilson, you'd be looking for a much younger prospect at striker, hence why we probably looked at Ekitike, someone like Ferguson (never happing) I know, but you get the gist. Sesko/Brobbey/Bardghji.

Out of the sides we faced in Europe, i liked, Sule, Tomori, Brandt, Hernandez, Chukwueze, I'd take any of them to improve our squad.

We could be a tiny bit carried away, I was only saying yesterday in the Bruno thread, how Bruno literally does all the work in midfield, giving others the freedom to express themselves, basically Bruno makes other players look better, but dont get me wrong, Miley is on an upwards trajectory, he has a coolness and calmness about his game, with players like Bruno to learn from he can only keep adding more to his game.

He does all the shit work and more, literally helps the team so much, gives others the freedom to do more with their game. He's a master at his position, Miley will learn absolutely artistry from Bruno.

Well impressed with Krafth today

Thought Bruno might have got a rest over Livra, and thrown Hall in the middle

Physically moved his hand toward the ball, not away from it. Dreadful call.

Finally, he so deserves it. Such a good kid.

I'm fuming here if I'm Wilson, he's being overlooked on a number of occasions.

Complete shite, over doing the extra passes, we'll end up over committing, they'll soak it up and hit us on the counter. We played poor in their final third that half.

Too many unnecessary passes around the box, players having time to whip a ball in, instead an extra pass, and an extra pass again. Daft.

Absolutely minging game of football this

This is so scrappy.

Pathetic now this

Jesus we lose Schar, then Longstaff nearly loses his head.

These are really stretching us at times.

Burn at CB Kraft right, livra left?

This is tough on Howe. Not really his fault, just unreal it keeps happening.

Wtf
