Schar was one our most consistent players last season, he's an intelligent player, who will compliment Botman perfectly. Gives us a much better foundation to play the ball out from the back. If they don't start together I'd be surprised.

You do make a good point, but I think the coaching team obviously have doubts that he is ready for a more regular position in the first team or they wouldn't be trying to sign a player like Maddison. I think he'd be much better suited to being an impact sub until he develops further. He's obviously very talented, we need to move away from risk taking if we we want to improve. Man city and liverpool always had other players to fall back on if it didn't work, we don't.

That sounds about right tbh. Maybe they just wanted to let all the hysteria about us buying the league die down. We can also justify a higher sponsorship next season if we have a better finish, higher attendances etc.

I think a huge amount of a young players development is about confidence, also learning from players around them. We have a world class defensive midfielder in Bruno, I think we are desperate for a world class attacking midfielder. Look how much Bruno lifted the players around him last season.

Anderson also doesn't need that sort of pressure on him at this stage. He needs be introduced in a gradual manner, similar to how Man city and liverpool introduce their youngsters to the first team.

Just listened to the Alan price version and it's a million times better, so much more upbeat.

Man city only paid £42 million and add ones for kalvin Philips. I agree it's a reasonable offer tbh.

Agreed and is £40 million really such a bad first offer. Some of our fan base seem to jump straight to the negative. Would they rather we get rinsed by rival clubs and skewed by financial fair play going forward.

Overall a good game. We had some excellent spells with some very direct attacking play. Almiron was back to his best, maybe he had a point to prove. Botman looked extremely solid, has to start him an Schar together. Joe Linton got his pent up agression out the way but was had typical no nonsense approach and drove the ball forward as well. Although maxi didn't do a whole lot he did seem to be passing the ball more, but needs to up his defensive contribution massively. Lots to build on though.

This ref has one massive ego.

This ref is an absolute cock, prancing around the pitch. Big Joe will be waiting for him down the tunnel.

Im so pleased we have wood for his aerial ability, oh hang on ?

Just thought the same,, we look so much better with him in the side. Activate beast mode.

We improved massively towards the end of the first half.

Now we just need schar and big Joe back in and lascelles as far away from the starting lineup as possible.

He's been in the box more this game than the whole of last season ?.

Lovely play for the goal. Miggy found his shooting boots

His positioning is an absolute joke.

This commentary on nufctv is woeful.

Great build up play, maybe we can all calm down a little.

He's been fantastic,such composure and so strong on the ball.

Im Not sure why anyone gives Luke Edwards articles a second look, click bait cunt that he is.
