Miley is a talent, like! Confident.

Fucking NBA this!

Lascelles > Schar (joking)

I blame him. Weak wrists.

Dubravka is wank - butter fingers.

At times Targett is a winger, Dummett full back, and Tonali a kind of sweeper/center halve/dm... very odd shape.

I think we'll win this 12-11

Nice composure!

Can we put Dummett back on Jukebox duties? man!

lol ffs

Get Maxi on.

Our midfield shape is zero. Tonali getting caught wrong side most times so far

Haha muppets

Agree, he gave out more watches than assists. Showman, is skillful as hell but honesty did very little the last two seasons. It all makes sense. I'd rather have both, but I'd choose Barnes overall if I had to.

Totally agree with you. 1 every 10 years right.

Barnes over Madison for me. I think Bruno can be our Madison if allowed.

Maxi barely played last year and we did ok. Good signing, and has goals and assists to add to the team that got us 4th. Excited to see him grow with EH and the team.

Throw in Christian Bassedas and the league would be ours!

Most kits with a pattern will. It's cut from a roll of Printed Fabric. If not, the waste is ridiculous and that's bad for the planet. You can place a design on the front of a shirt, but for random Patterns it makes sense to have differing placements but a generally similar visual overall. That's from the horse's mouth.

Big Phillipe Albert and the chip-over Rudolph for the 5th. I was in the Leazes right behind it as it left his foot. It floated in slow motion as I left my seat to stand, then hit the net and we all went crackers... Best days of my life that season.

I reckon Eddie is standing by Maxi and the he wants to keep him 'line' in Public. So if he's sold it points towards the club, rather than Eddie. If Neves was 50 and Marhrez 30 then Maxi is worth 50-60m. That would give us potentially 60-100m to Spend. So 2-3 new signings. Barnes 35, Livramento 20(ish), and then 45-50 on another I'd imagine - fuck knows who...Chiesa, Diaby? Those 3 with Tonali massively improved our squad and started 11. ASM rarely played last year. Probably, completely wrong

Because they have the above players?

Personally, I feel Eddie sees Gordon as a utility player to play in numerous positions, in different games, or changeable during a game - flexibility is key to wor Eddie! Big Joe, Willock, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon, and Barnes are all fluid players.... who can evolve during a game or be picked for various opposition.

I'm bored of the ASM stuff. He's had his chance and he's not done enough. 6/10. Goals win games and the stats don't lie - Maxi's stats don't quite hit the ballon d'or hype he suggests. Do you want to watch random pointless stepovers or win games? Jokes aside, I'd keep Maxi, but if Howe switches him out for Barnes and uses the cash to buy a Chiesa or Diaby I'm down. Barnes has levels to go, and ASM is one of the very few players to not improve under Howe. I'm sure Howe is somewhat fed up with the bandages, moaning, and cryptic media messaging too - let's see how it pans out, but fans need to trust the bloke that just got us to 4th with Dan Burn and Longstaff.

Great old Stadium. Iconic and somewhat brutal.
