Nine

We could have scored literally 4 or 5 tonight

Confidence booster

And we have a game pretty much every 3 or 4 days in February, away at Qarabag then away at City again 3 days after

Bruised ego Hes the only player Id like to see us actively trying to move on this summer

We don’t sign stop gaps though, we don’t even loan players. It’s just Howes way, I back him for it to.

I still think all the players we signed in the summer will pay off, this season has been brutal so far

They have stated a few times that value is hard to find in January, it sounds like penny pinching but in reality we need to maximum value to continue the upward trajectory We are trying to make up 100s of millions of ground on the top 5 clubs

The winter window is much more difficult to get deals done in, and they are nearly always more expensive than in the summer. Players also generally arnt as keen to move in January. Non argument here

We don’t move in January because they don’t see value in it, bigger picture and all that

Waffling

PSR, can’t really pin blame on Howe for it I guarantee you he’d have wanted players in if it was financially viable

You clearly know better, so we’ll leave it there

If Livra is fit it’s different, but who do we play instead of Trippier? The back 5 thing is happening due to who we have available, there’s not enough pace across the back line to play a high line right now. They’d be losing their 1v1s left, right and centre. That being said, the second half vs Liverpool and this tonight has been utterly dogshit - when it doesn’t work it really doesn’t work. PSG game is when it works. We went for it and got killed off by two unfortunate goals tonight, pain

These goals

Towel firmly in

Good performance regardless of what happens is what’s important here

Our luck at times this season

It’s massive jump from us, Villa and Spurs to the next level above. They are our competition, anything more the fanbase should consider a bonus. League cup and 2 CL runs from where we were in October 2021, we have been spoiled.

Sad really, he’s been here a long time. Had a big part to play in the resurgence of this club, in fact it was 2023 that he was starting in games like the PSG 4-1.. ACLs are absolutely brutal. Will be looking out for him if his move goes through.

This is depressing

It’s by design, I don’t feel he will ever change that

The two quick goals were absolutely brutal after first 40 mins we put in, we just havnt recovered No issue with the set up at all, it was shrewd until we got Liverpooled by a lethal finisher Anyone begging earlier changes, just wasting your energy.. we know this by now

Unfortunately we must use the squad, the schedule is that hectic

Rectified it well though didn’t he, not the sign of a finished player
