He’s winning the man of the match award. Good for him.

4 CBs

Elanga!

To be fair, it’s a lot easier for Eddie to get results when Bruno, Joelinton, and Gordon play at their best. The three of them were far from that today.

Reckon the next tweak has to be putting Wissa out on the left wing when he’s back, with Gordon dropping in as the backup

WTF Gordon.

Burn is no LB. We should switch to 3-5-2 with Murphy as RB.

Thanks for the 130m though.

His link-up play definitely gives the wingers more chances, but the problem is Gordon and Elanga aren’t exactly prolific finishers

I think Wissa will take his place as a the starting LW if he doesn’t get back to where he was a couple of seasons ago.

Doesn’t feel real.

So Yamal isn’t playing.

Why is Willock on?

It was a good call ton keep Osula then.

Wissa would be a game changer against Barca with their high line. Nick is too slow to exploit that and Wissa really has to start that game.

Seems like Nick is starting on Saturday then.

Here comes the role of Hopkinson.

He played as a LW.

Isak wouldn’t have been any better in that team.

Does he think he’s Messi?

I’m surprised he doesn’t seem to offer much of an aerial threat considering his height.

It’s been two minutes and he hasn’t scored yet.

So how will he rotate with Wissa? Who will start more matches? Or will they play together?

Honestly, I don’t get the reaction over us “getting played” by Liverpool for Isak at £130m. That still makes him the third most expensive signing in football history, behind only Neymar and Mbappé. We bought him three years ago for half that, he’s scored lots of goals, helped us get into the Champions League twice and win our first trophy in decades. We doubled our money and got massive success on the pitch. People keep pointing to the £150m figure but that was just an arbitrary number to push them higher, whether it’s £130 or £150m the difference is not much compared to what we gained.
