Except Bruno can’t dribble or shoot to anywhere near the same extent Gazza could.

Well whatever you choose to do, do it quicker.

He’s not gonna run around with his foot half in his boot is he? There was nothing wrong with what he actually did, it was the sloth like pace he decided to do it at that was the issue, and ultimately what bit him on the arse.

Yeah, I think when he put the tackle in it sort of half came off, so he had to take it off fully to get it sorted.

He scored the last two Boxing Day games, although he did miss the one before them.

I think we’re probably just looking to stop him going away for the next international break. We’ve got another seven matches between that break and the AFCON, so he’ll be playing in them.

Reaching a bit there like given Spence’s boot came off when he made the initial tackle, and I think Tonali actually had to undo his laces in the first place so he could do them up again 😂 The biggest issue with the Spence one was his general lack of urgency. Aye, your boots come off and you have to sort it out, but hurry up man.

They’re already at the AFCON, it’s WC qualifiers (well playoffs actually) coming up in November.

That’s the thing though, once you’re trying to compare on different attributes, it gets very woolly, and there’s perfect justification on both sides.

Last PL goal from open play - 16th April Last away PL goal from open play - 25th January

Rarely has a poor game defensively. Can be let down a bit on the ball, as he was to a minor extent last night. It’s almost like he’s become an upgrade on what Dummett was. Can do a job without letting anyone down as long as he doesn’t have to play too much, and seems to be a good professional within the group.

Good to see him in the team photo last night.

Having a ‘sit-in’ after the final whistle apparently. Which is interesting given the stadium is usually half-empty by 70 mins.

Be interesting to see how their crowd reacts if we take the lead? You might think it could go a bit toxic, but at the same time they’ve been so incredibly poor of late, complete apathy might have set in, and they’ll just sit their in abject silence.

Current Carabao record under Eddie: P19 W17 L2 16 games v PL 1 game v L1 2 games v L2

Aye, he punched one for a corner that definitely seemed catchable. But that’s the trade-off v Pope isn’t it? What you lose in that regard, you’re gaining in him being able to pick a pass when it gets knocked back to him. One excellent save too.

Some fool apparently.

It’s not that often you hear the collective “aaahh” from the crowd after a lovely bit of skill, but this lad gets it three times a game. That turn and pass to Barnes man.

14 potential draws available, I’d say that’s the third/fourth best depending on your view of Cardiff away.

In danger of making me think Paul Scholes knows what he’s talking about.

Fair play. Anything above that renders any subsequent victories and/or higher league placings versus NUFC, null and void.

Emailing this out sounds promising for the queues tonight… 😬

We obviously have wildly different interpretations of “quite similar”.
