Joking aside, we've had worse teams than that start Premier League games for us in the last 5 year. Doubt Botman will play and be risked what with Targett still recovering but we'll see. Any chance we see Kell Watts start this or perhaps Dummett at CB and Bondswell at LB?

As he rambles his way to Newcastle.

That was more obvious yesterday and perhaps this is the reason that he wasn't getting in ahead of Burn.

I do understand that and it is frustrating but I think they are just trying to cover their back with the whole offside line drawing thing. As far as I'm concerned I'd rather they take an extra 2 minutes and definitely get the correct call on whether its offside or not. Its either offside or its not, there's not a gray area but there are some closer calls than others. A toe offside is still offside as annoying as that may be to us all who want to see more goals. They can't flip flop between giving and not giving those goals as that wouldn't be fair, so I see it as consistency if they always give those very close calls as offside.

The most similar player to him is probably his fellow Brazilian Fabhino, although you could argue maybe Joelinton is more aggressive in pressing and tackling, Fabhino is much much better on the ball so perhaps it's even overall.

More than ever that game against Man City shows why we need VAR. As many have said, we'd have one less goal and one less player on the pitch if not for VAR and likely go on to lose. I know people will complain about the Schar/Stones penalty not being given but the problem is not with VAR in that instance because the referee has already made the decision not to give it so VAR won't overule unless its clear and obvious. For whatever reason it seemed the ref and linesman were waiting for any opportunity to disallow a goal or send one of our players off, VAR thankfully prevents that from happening by being there and allowing all to see the workings of it.

Yes, weirdly enough I looked into this after I saw his goal against West Ham. Haaland and Bolt (when he got the record) are both the exact same weight and height. 6ft 5in and 94kg. From what I could learn in 5 minutes online research.

The way Pep speaks about Howe and Newcatsle is the reason I hate Klopp, I hope that makes sense to everyone. Although Klopp did go up a few points in my estimation after having a pop at Agbonlahor. Either way my point is that I'm pleased we have Howe who I think is now going to be getting far more credit than he has done rather than people just immediately throwing in the fact we've spent a few millions since he came in.

His right thigh has now scored more for us than his right foot.

They won't. This game is not a missed chance for us to beat them, for them it was a missed chance for City to beat us. They will show all the goals but will then focus on the City misses and how good Haaland is.

If this doesn't show the board how badly we need a couple of new players nothing will. Not because we are shit but because we can be something amazing right now if we had that little extra quality in the squad.

And now both teams with 0 conceded have conceded 3. Odds on this would've been belting.

10 FUCKING MILLION

YES!!

That's got to be it now.

Yes Pope!!

Easily another 2 added by this cunt for Burn being on the ground for 45 seconds.

Oh ASM, just keep running don't do passes like that.

ASM would be MOM if not for Pope's excellence.

Joelinton will be getting more yellow cards than goals and assists this season.

He has climbed on Joelintons back and the ref looks away. What on earth.

That's 5 minutes less than I thought it would be.

That's why Wood is on.

This ref FFS.

Murphy just has to be stronger there! Got to keep the ball at all costs now.
