Tough start but could be good to get some of the tougher games out the way before the CL starts, I’d much rather play a Wolves or Burnley after a mid week CL match than a villa or a liverpool

It was when Tonali and Bruno swapped that changed things

As soon as I posted it I was waiting for a comment about the colours but I can’t be arsed editing it just for that 😂

I imagine even if we sign him and line up 433 on paper, we may see a lot more fluidity on the pitch. for example against teams at home where they are sitting back, we don’t need as much cover at the back. I could see something like the below in games where we would have most of the ball:

Only 1 year left on his deal apparently which could explain the price

Interesting, do you think Ornstein has got bad info? He is usually spot on

I don’t think so, we can just plan ahead and rest them at different times. I.e if we had 3 games a week, Isak could play 2, Mbuemo 2 (1 RW, 1 ST) and Murphy 2

The fact he can cover ST and is essentially 2 in 1 makes it a no brainer for me. Osula should be given the last 15/20 mins of games next season if Isak comes off, and if Isak needs resting fully, we can go Osula up top, or stick Mbuemo there and give Murphy a game.

What the fuck

I did think that initially but there have been reports that we spoke to him last week too

‘Another’ round. Sounds promising, doubt they would have a 2nd lot of talks if not seriously considering it.

On Delap, he would get plenty of minutes. For the games he doesn’t start, he would likely come on from the bench in most, if not all. and next season, we are looking at 50 games minimum, you would think that any week where we have 2 games, he would start 1 of them.

Needs to shave that awful barnet. Gradually got worse the longer his hair has got, it’s no coincidence

Had the best impact of all the subs today. Hopefully get more minutes next season

Doesn’t make sense to me that Sky only have 2 games. most weekends they have 3 minimum (Saturday evening, 2x Sunday) and sometimes even a Friday/Monday night on top, so to only have 2 on the final day is bizarre.
