Kid Icarus

Looking elsewhere, I think it's fair to say that Heron's view on ASM's performance today is in the extreme minority

We are a top team and he's performing in that team, what standards are there to adjust? People said the same thing about Henderson and Wijnaldum for Liverpool, who imo would take him in an instant as the latter's replacement. He's a carrier, brilliant at the press, and a goal threat. He doesn't need to be anybody else, who he is and who he can go on to be (he's only 23 remember) is just fine.

You're nuts mate. I'll leave it at that. We won, I'm happy, and I'm happy with ASM's performance, including his work rate. I'm not gonna bring the mood down arguing in those circumstances

He was on for 45 minutes It was a match where nothing was hitting its mark, even from Trippier. They were all good balls and if anything not selfish enough. Find this all a bit weird tbh, it was an obviously decent performance, at least.

He also put in at least 3 threatening crosses, sucked in defenders, and didn't put a foot wrong on the ball. I'd get it if you just thought he was decent. To go on like that was a bad performance is nuts

You're off your tits

You on the wind up Heron? It was between him, Schär, and Almiron for MOTM.

Hearing rumours that his ankle has passed away

Shearer saying exactly what most of us have said, that if he works on his finishing he can be an unbelievable midfielder. It would be huge like, he gets 2 or 3 chances on average a game

I like Billing, but he's a last January signing at best tbh

I have to think on this like, but either way he’s been fucking class.

Another newcomer. Welcome to the forum! Never ever a pen imo. I've been more impeded by my shadow than Burn's tickle today

A slight breeze would have had more impact than Burn on their player. Discounting unconscious bias, I'd honestly say if I thought it was a pen and neither were imo.

He definitely doesn't go crunching into tackles, but now that you mention that, it's just dawned on me that all of our players rarely do that, it's nigh on always standing tackles unless they're really stretched.

You'd think Fergie wasn't their manager for 20 odd years

That was away.

He was under par for his own high level like. Means little though, he's exactly the type of player and personality to now go and put a MOTM performance next week.

Think Willock's one of our best for sticking a foot in like, not Joelinton level but not far off. I know what you mean though, he's a unique player. That's why I love him tbh.

Remember when the Queen died? That was the last time we conceded in open play at home. 4 months ago

Watch this Real Madrid team turn into the fucking Hurricanes once the Champions League knock out matches start.

Level with 94/95 at this stage is incredible. The start of that season we flew out of the blocks and it was a peak of the Keegan era for me.

Incredible.

Didn't realise it was being played in Saudi Arabia. Grim.

He was bad like. Thought Diop and Willian were their stand out performers.

The post match routine of just staring at the league table and all the wins in green on Wiki is in full swing.
