Funtime Frankie

The season before he was good too not like last season though. We overpaid for Wissa and Elanga purple patches last season and we are now paying for it in terms of growth of side and results

Just in time for the internationals and playing 90 mins for England

£50 million bid for Trafford pending for first day of summer transfer window

We haven't scored their since 2018 so I can understand the logic of not really trying. I would play strongest 11 but if we are losing at HT rest players for the Brentford game.

Before the PSG game there was an interview with Wissa and Thiaw on SSN and they said that even those training sessions in between games is a light warm up and that's it. The schedule is making life hard for Howe to adapt team and tactics.

I think just managing his time. He has played a lot since coming back so makes sense to rest him especially as he will be working hard to keep Haaland in his pocket again on Wednesday

Really?? I thought he covered Tripps all the time he was on and was better in attack than some players. He was manhandled by Kerkez on at least 4 occasions. I do think he will become an important player for us when he regains his confidence

I agree, other than hitting the post i don't think he contributed much. Elanga however I thought had a good game and was more of a threat.

LB cover too

25 minutes of watching the coverage no mention of us at all.

The benches could be the difference though ours is stacked whilst half the scousers bench is youngsters

It's a sign for us to break hoodoos today too

It helped massively he had players close to him. Elanga and Willock were not stuck out wide but almost like 10s. This is the way we will get the best out of him.

I think the formation lead to interchanging too. Hall or Miley into Midfield and the two wingers who were narrow swapping around a fair bit. If we continue with formation I would like to see Barnes and Gordon interchange so keep defenses guessing but also overloads

It takes time for a partnership to form especially if this season we have predominantly played and train with one up top. Hopefully with Osula back two up top is used more often.

There will be too much to do in summer to sort out all the current and potential issues. If all players who have contract expiring in June leave we will need at least 2 fullbacks, 2 centre backs as a min. We are criminally low on players now, it will be negligence if we don't get some defensive cover. We also need to sell Willock in this window as he will only have 12 months left on contract in summer so will be lucky to get £15 million for him. If we can move him on we need a creative player. I also think its an Eddie Howe bluff tbh we will bring in a player or two this window.

He needs to bulk up Joelinton style over the next few months.

Harsh I think some good through balls and good energy.

He's just low on confidence, he will bang a few in and back to the player we saw earlier in the season.

Definitely our MOTM, immense in defence and passing especially the long balls were class. Back to his best, the power of a new contract

I had Shearer on the back of mine. I am sure I remembered the numbers and player names had a felt feel to them too. Definitely the best home shirt ever.

1st half in Inter vs Pisa has been mad. Pisa 2nd bottom go 2 nil up and then inter score 3 quick goals. The Inter kit is pure fire, highlight of the match

I think with no 3rd forward (Osula being injured) available he is scared to play both as neither can last 90 minutes and if you play both you are left with Gordon up top as an option

I used to watch Wycombe Wanderers for my sins and it was similar to Bayo Akenfenwa who due to his size refs allowed holding or even defenders on his back anfmd fouls not given. Just rewatched our best goal this season against third against Benfica and that's how to play with Wolt, both wingers were narrow and Gordon one two with him before threading it thru needs to happen more often

Lots of similar players on the bench, and like for like subs. We need creativity as a matter of urgency.
