Bite your hand off for that

I was always thought Burnley would get out of this and have been saying for months it’s unfair to judge them when they have a huge number of games in hand. In my opinion, Brentford and Leeds are more likely to go down than them so we just have to finish above one of these two. Leeds are in serious trouble because they are so open, only seem to play one way and don’t know how to grind out a result. But they have had some tough games come in quick succession so they could turn this around. The same could be said with Brentford regarding the tough set of games, but they play us, Norwich and Burnley in the next 3 and that will tell us a lot about them and where they will finish. I’ll be in the home end on Saturday with two Brentford supporting mates and I’m hoping that we can find a way to win so I can sit there smugly

Almiron used to make a lot runs in behind the defence quite frequently and I think he still could be effective if we actually look to set up in that way. I’d like to see Bruno play and we look to distribute the ball along the ground into space behind

Dan Burn looks better than him…..

The guy has come so far under Howe that we are comparing his style of play to Vieira - amazing stuff - I can’t get enough of it

He’s been playing well recently and fair play to the guy for improving, but there is no logic in extending a contract that doesn’t expire until 2023

I think Villa just wanted to send him out on loan so he could play every week to showcase his talent and push up his fee. I’d like to think we could get him for a reasonable fee, but I’m pretty sure they will use his performances and our wealth to justify asking for around the £20m mark

It would be great to get to 26 points (even better with 28 points) before the March run of two games a week. If we have a few negative results now, we could find ourselves under a lot more pressure going into that run of fixtures

Really need the results in midweek to go our way so that we can head into the game with that nice cushion we currently have

I also thought he wasn’t that bad, he gets up the pitch well and always tires to make himself an option going forward. He just makes seem really daft defensive decisions from time to time and they cost you goals, that’s why he is third choice I guess

I was for him coming in because I thought the team needed a kick up the arse and he could have commanded that quickly

Rice still had a decent game I thought, it was Soucek that was completely owned by big Joe

Subbed off now

I think Bruno for Shelvey is probably the right substitution after about 15-20 minutes in the 2nd. I have been amazed at how easy we have had it when getting the ball down in the midfield and passing through them. Bruno should be able to add some ability to play a forward pass and carry the ball

Fuck

Yep that would make sense with the West Ham set price threat

I think he fits into the 4-3-3 in Fraser’s position. They are both essentially the same player not really contributing to our attacking threat in a great deal, but you know that they will run around all day for you

£45m is overpaying for Eze. There’s clearly talent there and I wanted us to get him before he joined Palace, but I think we could do better than him for that amount of money

Top lad

Yep it appears that Clark and Fernandez will gone in the summer. I suspect we will add one top class central defender to join Burn, Lascelles and Schar

I have never really lost the passion for the team even through the pretty shite years, but yesterday I was back to feeling really nervous, heart beating faster and standing up in front of the tub for the whole second half because the win felt so important to us

This

Agreed. He’s actually brilliant at shielding the ball too and getting out of a tight situation when it doesn’t look like he can. He needs to improve his concentration at times because that’s when he lays off a shit pass or falls on his arse

Has to keep his place with Schar now for next week

Great effort from the lad today, deserves full credit for that performance given how much I have slated the guy over the years
