Virtua Stiva

Luckily for us, Tonali is playing so well

Tonali is knocking 5 million off his price tag every time he plays atm

Bring Woltemade on for Willock and just let the positions sort themselves out

Far too slow to make changes again. It’s becoming a really bad blind spot now

No good waiting for 1-1 to make the subs. Give them something different to think about while they’re on top

I applaud our lads for making VAR look at things but the proof is already there that we’re not getting owt

Amazed they didn’t try and rule Burn offside there

Another roaring success

Calling bullshit on that

Glad that he’s down to give us a bit of a breather. Every little helps

We’ll sit in tonight imo. That front three, and indeed, Willock, is all about countering

Hall needs a rest and, scarily, Burn is probably the best option at RB. The continued presence of Trippier is the worry. Especially considering it also knocks Thiaw out of sorts since he has to cover all the time

VAR

Getting pelters off a bloke who can’t even get his teams colours right in his name ffs. That’s a new low

Not aimed at you but I feel like we’ve heard about the summer being a massive overhaul for the last two summer windows and each time it’s been an absolute shit pit. This latest duo have got to prove they’re competent this time around as I do actually think the more likely option is that Howe fucks it off. He’d be well within his rights if he has to deal with more of this shit

Think the RB option is probably Miley but it’s all very mysterious as to when he’s due back. I’d be tempted to shuffle Thiaw out there and go with Burn and Botman as your two centre backs for the foreseeable. We won’t win another game all season if Trippier is at right back

I have a feeling, based on fuck all but intuition admittedly, that Howe would maybe like to shift to the 5-2-3 or the 4-4-1-1 but there literally isn’t time in the schedule to drill it into the players and have match prep at the same time. Except for bespoke cases like PSG away. We’ll see how things pan out after the internationals in March

I’m aware, yes. Not sure if you think I’m slating us here or what?

Really not sure what more you can rotate with the injuries we have? We have two fit full backs and he actually is rotating the attackers and midfield

Gassed after 30 minutes. Actually quite concerning

Get in, sexy cunt

Did the Brentford kit designer think they were making a Bradford kit and it was too far gone to change it?

He’s at that age and profile where he’s going to want a very big contract and sadly, we just can’t give them what they want yet. Hopefully we’ve learned from Isak and hopefully, Tonali has at least give us a few months heads up. Best thing we can hope for is a big fee and money reinvested sensibly this time. The continuing emergence of Miley and the upturn in Ramsey could make this one slightly easier to swallow

way this season is going, that’s genuinely a bad omen

Well, I personally know 3 so I win
