Nine

Said before that he’s not made for our system, when I saw his name on the team sheet tonight I thought he might have a chance to shine in a more direct version of our system because of no Bruno. As time goes on the more I just can’t see him staying here, reckon he’ll go in the summer.

What is happening

Goal or not, the noise inside the stadium then..

Out lol

Hughes didn’t even sell that to the ref, was just like wtf are you doing

Defo a red

Liverpool man

Fair play to Dyche, these looked a broken side a week ago. Hilarious this is happening against Arsenal.

If they deploy a low block then ASM wont get much joy as usual, 4-3-3 is awkward now as we have 0 CM options off the bench.

Pretty sure that was Everton’s only chance of a signing as well

Anyone else expecting it to be similar to last summers window? Proven PL players (Pope, Targett) and potential from abroad (Isak, Botman). If we get 4 done of that kind of standard again if will probably put this squad close to being able to handle 4 competitions, depending on how the signings perform as well. Obviously that’s going to be another 120-150m, not sure if we’ve got that kind of room to play with within FFP. I’m thinking the potential will be more like Franca than Isak.

I think we’ll sign 3/4 in the summer, unsure on positions as it will come down to which of our preferred targets are available for the right money.. with that being said you’d expect a midfielder who can play as a 6 (even if not their preferred position). I think it’ll be a mix of potential and established quality, say 1 or 2 proven PL starters and 2 up and comers (maybe 1 from abroad). Not confident we get Maddison though.

I reckon Dyche went to Everton knowing they wouldn’t sign anyone, that might even be what secured him the job over someone like Bielsa who wanted players in. Its a win-win for him now really. If they go down then he wasn’t backed, if they stay up he’s a miracle worker.

Exactly why it won’t happen, we won’t be pushing our wage bracket >100k forward by the summer. It will rise in smaller steps than that, with current key members of the squad being given new contracts along the way. If Bellingham goes this summer he will have massive offers from established CL clubs, he’ll be the most sought after midfielder in the world.

Yeah, that’s not happening

He’ll be around this side for years imo, sort of our Darren Fletcher but better

For how many others here will this be your first final? To young to remember the FA cup finals and from what I’ve read on here that’s not a bad thing

We’re winning this

Beautiful

Very stupid, emotion gets the better of him at times

So stupid

We are looking amazing BUT they are atrocious

And people say he’s our weak link

EASY

No thanks
