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

Don’t think there’s any chance we sell Targett. In no situation does Trippier play at LB and Livramento seems to be set on the right side as well.. it’ll be Burn and Targett/Hall on that side season.

The betting thing really turned the tide against Paqueta.. last season he just wasn’t suited to Moyes ball and now he’s a cheating rat

Wolves first shot on target goes in vs Everton

Jackson looks sloppy as hell so far

I wonder if we keep our powder dry FFP wise til at least January or even the summer wouldn’t surprise me, see how the new players develop and hope we get no long term injuries. Gives us wiggle room when we need it that way.

The money (and power) machine behind the Saudi league is a completely different animal than that of China or the MLS.. those two leagues are incomparable to what’s going on here. Look at the names that have moved to Saudi in their first big transfer window, it’s different worlds man. Anything could happen but I get the feeling that they will become serious players in world football within 5 years. They will stop at nothing to build and enhance the Saudi ‘brand’, fair play to them.

Paid too much for a 22 yo Gordon?? How can you judge that already

That’s fair mate, I do agree somewhat. I do feel though that if you respond then you open yourself up to more of the same, it’s almost encouraging backlash out of certain fans by acknowledging the unjust criticism. I can appreciate however that it must be hard to have to read it if you are a pro footballer, it’d be hard to bite your tongue 24/7 to some of the utter shit that fans come out with.

He should have kept quiet, but still moaning at individual players after losing to the best club side in the world 1-0 So many football fans are emotional children.

That’s fair, but I was specifically making the point on his goal scoring form as an 8 vs 6 and not his form in general. He is far less likely to be scoring goals from the 6 position, a few people don’t seem to understand that.

The tackle on Haaland was a thing of beauty

Comparing his goals to his first 6 months here is retarded, he played as an 8 for most of that time. He’s now the 6, the first guy who receives the ball from the back line and looks to either play something incisive or more commonly shifts the ball safely. He’s been for that a season now.

They are just so good man, ‘weak’ line up or not. We knew that anyway though, hopefully there’s a bit more about us second half. Gonna be really difficult from here.

Aye some of our players are very quick

My comment was meant to sound a bit tongue in cheek, not sure it came across that way now

The fact this came out when he was on the brink of a move to the best club side in the world.. call me a conspiracy theorist but it’s hell of a coincidence.

Bullet dodged

I’ll say it again, the best chance of beating these there for years

Not sure a loan with an obligation will sway Chelsea, they will want the fee this summer to balance their books. 30m (25 + 5) seems to be about right for Hall, I wonder if we need to shift one or two of Hayden, Hendrick and Fraser to open up a gap in our wage bill first. Although Hall wouldn’t come in on that much, I reckon this one might drag on til the final days.
