You don’t earn as much as the CL, that’s for sure. But you would earn more than a club earns for finishing mid table in the second division …

I’d pull Krafth up a couple of points and maybe lower Barnes by one. I also don’t think an out-of-position Murphy was a six out of ten - I thought the lad did well today

Entirely different type of player for me.

Does more with it than HBA, as exceptionally talented as that lad was.

Technical ability

Yeah I know what you mean - and they being skint is why I didn’t mention them But if he was to leave in the next couple of years, that’s the level of club he’s going to - the absolute elite of world football. Watching Arsenal and Spurs supporters talking about signing him is laughable.

I think he is too like.

It’s more his valuation in the game that interests me. I think he’s almost priced out of the current market - there isn’t a centre forward in world football who does what he does and has age absolutely on his side. The links to Arsenal and Spurs of late are absolutely laughable. IF the lad leaves, it will be to a Real Madrid, not fucking Arsenal.

It would need to be a football-breaking fee to sell him for me. You’re talking getting up to the £200m mark. No-one has that kind of money, and I’m pretty confident he won’t be going anywhere just yet.

John Ceeeena; John Ceeeena can you hear me?

Nailed-on 1st min booking vs Palace

Superb from the manager that. A scratch back line and we nailed it

Ludicrously easy that - all credit to Howe, absolutely bossed that. All the players played well - but I thought Anderson and Krafth were outstanding (Bruno, Isak and Gordon were class as per - but Krafth in particular I thought put in a hell of a shift).

Yeeeeees

What minute do we take Bruno off and avoid the risk of a yellow?

Isak was in our half

There it is

Insane square pass by Murphy

Great fun that, playing really well, only a couple of dicey moments. Only slight, tiny negative is that this should be all over.

Feel like we really need to get a third before HT. We’re carving these open

I think Dubravka may be responsible for my IBS

Isak has my permission to never square the ball

Fucking get in Gordon lad

Superb by Gordon too
