Kid Icarus

The 'mistake' in that Chelsea match was also during undoubtedly his best performance for us where he put in a perfect performance. It took an incredible ball, great first touch and finish for them to score.

What I love about it is that Ederson was on that side He took a slight step to his left, but even if he hadn't he was getting nowhere near that. About as close to perfection as it gets.

He's played on the right plenty as well.

£35m for Harrison is looking more than fair enough now

He's been class in all of their games so far this season tbh.

Baptism of fire for him this week and last. He's handled it very well imo, the best defenders in the world are shit scared of Haaland, so it's no reflection on Botman that he struggled in some moments. The pace of the game will have been a good learning experience for him. Thought he was excellent whenever the ball was played into Haaland to hold up.

Imagine being shown that photo this time last year

Everton went on to win that match as well

For posterity: Pope: 10 Trippier: 8 Schar: 8 Botman: 7 Burn: 7 Joelinton: 8 Bruno: 7.5 Willock: 7 Almiron: 8 Wilson: 8 ASM: 10

Absolutely class. The players being disappointed we didn't win says it all.

Hasn't gone yet though so fingers crossed.

If Sarr goes, it does feel a bit less likely. Maybe that's why we're pushing now rather than let them sit on the previous offer.

All the hallmarks of a Newcastle bid tbf

Nah, not saying you should be happy, but it is really funny that you all think you're hard done by.

And no need for you to strawman something I haven't and wouldn't say

As if that wasn't what I was referring to Even then you're what? Only just in 2nd place behind Chelsea in gross spend?

In the last decade you've spent more than any other club in the world on players.

Our targets going to PSG, then Wolves, now a Tranmere benchwarmer. How much more of this must I endure.

If we get Pulisic we'll probably play him long enough to overwrite his poor finishing like. Loves getting tackled and fouled as well.

His profile seems a bit more respectable than usual. He only seems to RT Ornstein and Romano. That could be part of his attempt to gain a reputation though obviously.

Well if you watched Liverpool then you could rely on your eyes. Thiago's absolutely class.

Was it particularly terrible during the Bruce years like? Because aside from that (Didn't watch us under Bruce) I've always thought he was a great passer. His passing stats are pretty ace tbh, top 15 centile in the league for short and medium passing accuracy, top 45 for long distance. https://fbref.com/en/players/3727dd3c/all_comps/Jonjo-Shelvey-Stats---All-Competitions#stats_passing_collapsed Believe it or not, very similar to KDB. https://fbref.com/en/players/e46012d4/all_comps/Kevin-De-Bruyne-Stats---All-Competitions#stats_passing_expanded

Love it

Think it's debateable tbh, Bruno undoubtedly gets into positions to make his passes more cutting, but Shelvey is underrated in general on here I think.
