How would playing him equate to running him in to the ground? Especially when we are playing once a week.

Playing an injured Longstaff, who is offering nothing out there over a fit Miley, on the grounds of having to look after him because he is only 17 is baffling.

Bournemouth play good football under Iraola too and now the players are becoming more familiar with his tactics they are seeing the rewards. They had only picked up 6 points going in to November but you could see what they were trying to do out there, it just wants coming off for them. They have picked up 29 points since then and only lost to Man City twice, Liverpool, Spurs and Fulham in the league since.

Not many looking at it. Us Liverpool x2 Man City Arsenal Plus what happens tonight but they are usually the other way with games, they keep going and don’t let their heads drop.

Barkley misses a sitter

Great goal by Solanke.

Rob Edwards is a great manager, I would be surprised if he doesn’t make a step up to a top half club in the near future.

Forest Green Rovers climb out of the relegation zone in League Two for the first time in 4 months. They were 9 points adrift when Steve Cotterill took over at the end of January.

We have only won one of our last 5 home games, which includes games against clubs currently in 13th, 17th and 18th.

I find it hard to believe that Howe has seen Dubs in training and never realised that he wouldn’t suit our style of play. It is baffling that it has taken a run in the team to highlight this.

Absolutely and I hope I’m wrong; however, I can’t remember the last time we put a run of decent performances together to think that he can change our fortunes on the pitch.

The club should be speaking with agents to see if a suitable replacement is interested in joining, if the right person can be found then bring them in as soon as possible. I like Howe as a person but he doesn’t have the ability to turn this season around.

Our goals were individual brilliance in an otherwise shit performance.

That was a quality goal by Murphy.

Solanke’s standing foot slipped as he went to shoot and he ended up on the floor.

Since Isak came back from the only long term injury he has had in his career shortly after joining us, he has missed 8 league games out of 48, with one of those being a suspected concussion. Outside of the serious thigh injury he has missed about 13 league games out of just under 170 over the last 5 seasons, with the rest either starting or on the bench.

I think Nketiah has a much higher ceiling than has been demonstrated so far and would be an excellent signing for us if the price was right. The issue though is that Arsenal would want £40 million minimum for him, so all of the risk would be on us.

when you say in form do you mean the ESR of 2001/22? As I don’t think that player exists any more, which is why Arsenal are happy to sell him.

I don’t think he starts over Willock or Joelinton.

I don’t think Smith Rowe would get in our starting eleven if everyone was fit, we are at the stage now where we need quality and not quantity, especially from someone who will be 24 going in to next season.

Their wage bill also went up from £137 million to £194 million.

His reading of the game and movement in the box is high level.

I don’t see us signing four players from abroad for the first team in the same transfer window.

Southgate will still pick Grealish over him sadly.
