I expect him to have a decent breakout season then get a good move next summer, he’s potentially far better than Everton and his attributes are well suited to the PL. If he avoids injuries and a copes with being in a shit side he can easily bag double figures in the league this season imo. Dyche will use him well.

Context being how neglected the squad was before we were taken over

General consensus is that his career had taken a big hit through badly managed injuries.

Shitty energy drinks? I think

Your fault

Well done

Now you’ve said that

Sure Liverpool accept that if it’s true

Would take that in a heartbeat, nights out in Braga and Rotterdam would be class

Salford would be fun

The sentiment has flipped already

It can take more than the summer break to get up to the type of fitness it takes to dish out a high intensity pressing game that is demanded from our wide play, it wasn’t the only reason he was subbed but I’d bet it was the biggest one.

Gordon was subbed instead of Miggy because he isn’t as cut out for 90 mins as Miggy is yet, the lad openly talked about how he needed to be fitter to fit within our system/style and no doubt he will get there with some time.

Just before the 2nd Howe was screaming instructions at Bruno and then rolling his eyes like he was being ignored.. anyone else notice?

Run for cover, the emotional outbursts will be heavy on here tonight

Fantastic

Their first on target

Sick finish, we should have been clear by now though

Fair play, great goal

Haahahha

So much city possession around the box as usual without looking threatening really. Just in effective crosses and corners launched in over and over.

Enough to drop Joe for though? Not saying he hasn’t come on, he has. The amount of physicality we’d lose with that swap in midfield is huge.

Calling for Anderson to start here is mental imo, we went through this on here at the start of last season as well. Ours CMs had a bit of a slow start and people were screaming for Anderson to come in.

Such clean movement and finishes back to back there
