I start with Pope-VVD-Dalot-Saliba-Van de Ven: Ödegaard-Eze-Bruno F.-Palmer: Isak-Havertz bench: Onana-Minteh-N. Jackson-Ait Nouri Usually I am turboshit in this game, so if you have pretty much this team, I advice to change it asap.

Why on Earth would City pay 70 million for Diaz, when they already have Grealish and Doku for that side?

This made me laugh. They are so desperate after Zubimendi said no.

He had a surgery here in Finland last year with pretty much the best hamstring expert there is, but seems like it just doesn't work for him. Originally should have made the Euros but he must have injured it again at least twice after it.

Lewis is awful. What did we think when we bought him?

Longstaff

Ruddy making a debut

3-0 Gordon

The commentator on my stream said something like "Longstaff is such popular player, signed by Rafa Benitez". What?

There are limited number of loans allowed. 6 abroad and 3 domestic iirc

Doesnt seem the best of sources and on top of that, why would we wait for Guehi deal to be completed?

That is the most ”he is going” - statement that Howe has ever said.

Liverpool signing Zubimendi it seems.

RW is of course greatly needed, but Guehi is a transformative (and a statement) signing for our defence. Really happy for this. I hate all these song suggestions, but in my ear My Sharona transforms quite easily to Marc Guehi

Boumsong, just behind him Geremi

That EBL is a total clown. Was ”worried” when Howe signed and pipped us to be relegated. And likes to praise every mid level player. Gravenberch was ”player without flaws” or smth

I dont think Crystal Palace is a team that can afford to not get any money for him.

Guehi has not signed a new contract, so they have to sell soon.

Fanbase can panic at the end of August. More important to find a right player than to just buy players. Still few of the top teams have been really quiet. I trust we get the right players and hopefully can sell few.

This is exactly were everyone is taking the info, even though no official info is given anywhere.

It is alway x,5 years when player is signed in January window. Might as well be 5,5 years. FFP-wise that makes no sense for us.

I really dont trust this. We signed him in 2023 January with a "long term deal". 3,5 half years? Why would we do that?

Apparently fought over a penalty yesterday also.

And I like to be very clear: You said the stats don't include Mainoo and Malacia, or Fofana. But they don't include Krafth or Willock either. We had many pretty much season ending injuries. This is also a fact. That is why I would argue they were a lot worse. And yes, your CB situation was awful, so was our GK or midfield situation. Or striker in some parts when I think Almiron ended the game as front man..

To be honest, now you are twisting facts a bit. Fact is Ritchie or Dummett only played few minutes from the end, but they came on because others on the bench were keepers or kids that Howe couldn't trust. So option was to bring Ritchie/Dummett or no one. Dummett played the whole game in LC against City and against you.
