Sandrotastico

Ran the show. Like I said in the Match Thread, never rated him that highly but he'd be the perfect fit for us. He's a much better footballer than I thought, his reading of the game and breaking down play was impressive today.

He also needs to come and show to the ball, cover back and not do a half arsed run then let players shoot on sight. It's a little unnatural and forced to do anything other than get the ball and dribble. If the game is stretched he's great, but he does not fit this team and the way we play, unfortuately.

This.

Really? he's done very little tbh. And mainly a yard off the play.

Rice is next level and I don't normally rate him. Id take him in the Summer over Madison. exactly what we need.

Also my first game in 1986. 4-0 I think. Beardsley and Goddard. happy memories with my mam in the Milburn paddock! HWTL

Imagine what he can do when he's good enough for the premier league! Great game! chuffed for him. Hope he bags a couple more in the final! We're due a win down there.

off to bed here, taking a half day tomorrow to watch it at lunchtime! HWTL's!

Player! Big fucker too.

Especially one, two sizes to small! I'm with you!

not to mention a player who can shoot from distance, if defences do decide to sit off, worried about our pace behind... just go and get him!

Few to many on here only think in starting 11's, squad game lads! Rotation, especially if we hit Europe. Not to mention our lovely injury record...

Unlikely and wont get my hopes but. But him and AG would be a 10/10 Window. Fingers Crossed. Two players used to the league, both flexible across the front 6. A real statement if so.

All jokes aside.... I'm right behind him, I think his energy, running, directness and pressing, not to mention skill will be great for Eddie and the lads. Bellamy springs to mind. He's a kid. Trippier, BDB and the likes will turn him into the model pro by March.

Canny watch...

Not my first choice, or seventh. But weirdly these days I trust the club and manager 100%. If he can turn us into a defensive powerhouse, and Joelinton into prime Yaya Toure, I do feel he turn Gordon into a quality and important part of the team. Excited to see where it lands and how he starts to mould him into a player we'll all probably love in a year or two.

Love him! What a guy! Can't quite believe the stats! Especially as all my life we've been defensively, pretty crap!

This! We have a superb water tight defence. We have legs, stamina, the attitude, we have strikers and decent wingers for now, we need someone who can pick that final pass, to change the game, add some magic and also shoot from distance! Maddison looks like the man we should go out for. He would take the burden off Bruno, help bring our wingers into play with more imagination, and help our strikers when team play a low block. If not Maddison, then someone who can run at the defence with skill and ability to play off the striker, Beardsley-esque - god knows who that is. I agree Wilson looks quote isolated at times.

I think we have the cutting edge, we need more brains in midfield to unlock deep defences. Some more Magic, imagination.

Go and buy Maddison.

We desperately need another playmaking attacking midfielder with an eye for a pass.

Lost our shape a little since subs.

Pope!

We're missing Chris Wood today

Really???? Willock to me has been our brightest spark down the left. opinions...
