Dr Jinx

He’s supposed to be one of the quickest players in the league but wasn’t interested at all in taking on Walker.

After his debut cameo, he’s shown virtually nothing. Still early days but it’s not unfair to be concerned.

He clearly has something about him, just need to figure out what his best position is. 

? half our fucking squad are trying to figure out what their best position is.

Not going to fully judge a player based on 1 start away at Man City, but Eddie Howe spent 45 million on this chap, he must have had a reason, I mean, surely he didn’t buy him to play on the left wing knowing he’ll cut infield again and again.

Bruno hasn’t been that good either today. We’ve gone off the boil in every department.

Trippier had a mare there

Everyone stop saying the word Lascelles 

It’s likely we had someone lined up to replace in January. Whole thing scuppered by the little twerp.

I mentioned before, the club had moves lined up in January, loan with obligation to buy. Would have required a slight drop in salary at the clubs involved. He declined and opted to pick up his wages for another 2 seasons.

He’s got form for making bad decisions. He’s a very likeable lad but whoever is advising him is doing nothing for his reputation.

Saying that, I’m not totally convinced by Isak.. wasn’t entirely sure what we were getting with him but currently not getting the best from him.

We literally just got £15m (+4m loan fee) for Chris Wood, even this out of form Wilson is worth way more than that.

I see your point, but we need to start being better sellers as well as buyers if we want to achieve things. It's a huge way to circumvent FFP as well. 

Whilst I agree overall, in this case I think everything mentioned above, ie age, being injury prone and now possibly being physically limited due to covid will have seen his value drop. There would still be takers no doubt but at far more sensible numbers.

Is he injured again?

Even though Wilson needs to be dropped, Isak isn’t the answer there.

Those saying Gordon, Isak and Miggy should be up front, how lightweight do you want a front line?

Bad bout of Covid, it might have been the second time he had it within a few months as well. Surely that takes it’s toll on energy levels and fitness.

Can’t be pissed off at him, he’s still obviously trying, but something definitely missing.

If I was Howe I’d consider letting him leave in the summer, 12-15m would be good business.

Fact is they let us have the majority of possession and knew they could get us in trouble on the counter. Teams have been doing this for a while now. We don’t quite know what to do when teams are sitting back

Individually some of the players regarded as our best, they haven’t been performing well for a while. Trippier has an obvious weakness in terms of raw pace now, but he’s making mistakes which are exposing this more now. Wilson has lost something.. not much of a threat anymore. Almiron had his hot streak.. not adding loads at this point.

But just generally we were all huff and puff without much quality. It’s disappointing, can’t blame the players for effort.. it’s all there! I think a few tweaks, and we have to approach the summer window with a total lack of sentimentality. The manager has some tough calls to make if we’re to kick on.

If can get 1, we’ll kick on from there. We’ve been good for the most part, just a brain fart few mins, similar to Liverpool.. few of them walking a tightrope, we need to expose it and run at them.

Big halftime talk for Howe.. 

Deflection or not, he was sitting on his arse almost. 

Surprised and happy that Maxi gets kept in ☺️ go get em

I know the right thing happened but man he would have been handy for a penalty tomorrow if it goes that way

The pitch at Wembley is basically exactly the same dimensions as SJP, isn’t it? 

Surprisingly you are correct.
 

SJP = 114.8 yd × 74.4 yd

Wembley = 115 yd x 74 yd

There are some differences between grounds, Anfield and Stamford Bridge are noticeably smaller. Man City’s pitch is bigger than Wembley.

I’m excited and nervous for it, am hoping we play the game and not the occasion.

The bigger pitch will effect both sides, for someone like Maxi it could be a massive opportunity to run into space, not sure he starts though.

I think Joelinton gets left forward and Willock comes into midfield, where they swap throughout the match. Bring on Maxi when legs start getting tired.

Bruno & Joe against Fred & Casemiro is intriguing.

Sorry but it's a 3-0 defeat tomorrow. Manu are in form and we are struggling to score a goal. Not a result I want but just being realistic!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You ok hun?

Let’s just hope we’ve been sandbagging a bit.

We have to manage spells in this game when they will be bringing whatever energy they have, but you can tell they’ll fade a bit if we can ride those spells out.

We will get chances but they will be rightful favourites based on form.

Both of their goals came after Barca giving away possession near the box.. let’s try and avoid that..

Cunt gave himself whiplash with his over the top reaction 

Shite keeping

Plenty of time ☺️

Some of them starting to blow out their arses.
