Funtime Frankie

MOTM in my opinion, he was everywhere at the back, easily his best performance in a long while

I would've bought on Ritchie or even White in mid for him. He needs a rest still carrying some sort of injury. This said he needs to be gone in the summer though, if an Everton or Leeds offer us £10 million, I will carry him there.

I was reading this article yesterday, it shows how good Pope was last year. As mentioned before Muric could be an option and likely to be cheap and understand he will be initial understudy until he beats out Pope. Some of the other GK on the list I didn't recognise but they are over 30

He won't come here to be on the bench, he probably could start for a number of other premier league sides. Due to budget can't see us spending large on GK, I think we roll with Pope and get a backup GK in

That's true, the legacy of the Ashley years, bang average players on high wages

I think shopping list for summer after sales of Miggy Longstaff Lewis Hayden Fraser Ritchie - released to free up 50k a week. Dubs Larius Wilson To bring in Kelly on a free Scalvini or inacio David or Sesko Muric as back up to Pope RW either Kubo, Chiesa or Olise MGW, Cherki or Eze Those changes will make us so much stronger

The sneaky 12 player formation

He started today and made 11 saves, some from the highlights look decent. Watched his highlights from last season there were some great saves but what stood out was his distribution. Definitely need an upgrade from Dubs.

Muric at Burnley could be a back up option to Pope and will be relatively cheap. He was bought to replace Pope and has similar traits as a sweeper keeper.

Would like to see him on the right for the rest of the season, maybe may negate the need to sign a RW in summer

He played at LB for the U20s, looked dangerous from the highlights

When tripps is back he definitely needs to start on RW, he's too good to drop

Unfortunately we are stacked with LCM so unlikely to get too many chances in that position in the short or medium term

Ridiculous record, 35 games in a row unbeaten this season. I had a feeling they would struggle today due to the squad rotation

Me too ?

It's up there but think Luton have made a fist of it and shown fight, I am hoping they stay up

On CBS clips I've seen he, Micah and Carra seem looser and much funnier

Always annoyed me that 4 of those 11 points Derby got were against us.

They will be close at end of season with both the most goals conceded at 89 and worst goal difference at -69

Exactly this. Maybe Sesko for David but otherwise this will take us up to the level to compete for top 4. Not sure we will sell Longstaff as he is one of a few homegrown players that is over 21 which helps with European competitions

His preferred position is on the left so he can cut back on his right but as a RW he has good delivery and was instrumental in Italys Euro success. Rumour of £35 million price tag would be a bargain. He is so versatile, been playing up top most of the season but can play all across the front 3 and I'm sure I've seen him play as a RWB too

I think all the Napoli team have underperformed this season, hangover from winning the league last season.
