Funtime Frankie

100% this. Defences will struggle to deal with it as one will come short and other will look to stretch the back line. I would give Wolt free reign to roam and get midfielders to make runs past him.

And an Osula replacement too. I hope Howe is backed and gets a bit more quality in. If we got a LB in maybe it allows us to play Hall as LCM

The last two games decisions given for things I never knew in the rules, shielding in the Chelsea game and mutual contact for this game. The fact it hits his arms at least twice in that position makes it a clear penalty, anywhere else on the pitch it is given.

He must fucking hate them, always has MOTM performances and G/A against them so unlucky not to score today.

Which is odd as we had success when Isak and Wilson played up top together (granted only a few games). I think Wolt and Wissa would be a frightening front 2. I would love it if we played 3-5-2 in our next game

Especially Schar I thought his passing to Miley were class, putting us on the front foot.

I think this is it. Feeling homesick and especially with the bairn on the way wants to be near family. The problem for him is no italian side will cough up £60 million plus for him. He was still better than Ramsey but given what we saw last season its disappointing

Exactly this with Murphy crossing with a known poacher and Wolt looks like the only way we will score.

More of a winger, immense skill and vision. Played Scotland twice and tore them apart, i thought Robertson was going to retire after one game against him. As with all three of the players mentioned we will be competing with clubs who will offer crazy money, our selling point needs to be easy access to 1st team football and a manager who develops most plays who play under him.

100% agree, I would love a Cherki type player who can dribble pass players for fun but also play defence splitting passes. When teams low block us we have only Bruno with creativity we need more players to open up defences. I think that's why we are linked with players like Kees Smit and Luciano

He is by far the best English LB so he will be nailed on to start. I agree would love him to have a rest over summer and not get called up. I think due to the fixture build up and the fact that internationals are not for 3 months there hasn't been much discussion about england in the media.

Advantage of having Wissa fit is he doesn’t have to run himself into the ground each game.

WTF is that celebration

His performances at RB will save us millions on needing to replace Trips. He was immense again, didn't put a foot wrong and his composure was different gravy.

I honestly think playing a front 3 of Wissa and Wolt with either Murphy or Harvey would be scary good. Wissa would play inside forward but would rotate with Wolt and have crosses coming in with two guys in the middle. The fullback on the left would provide width and Bruno from RCM also crossing balls in.

Not sure Chelsea will offer 100k plus for him, if they do then good luck to them, he must be on about 10k or less atm

We could offer him more regular football and greater chance to develop. That needs to be our selling point to him. I hope its not dead as a player like him will help us massively especially against the low block.

Just looked at stats for keepers in top 5 leagues who stop crosses, surprised Pope was high in the list but someone who is in top 10 and also handy with his feet is Elia Caprile. Only 24 years old but wanted by both Milan sides. I cant ever remember seeing him play maybe @Curva Sud Milano can enlighten us on him. I think the backroom are looking hard for a GK either in January or in the summer. I do think the priorities in the next 2 windows is creative midfielder, 2 full backs, a young CB and a third FW

He hasn't been his normal self but on 3 occasions made great interception or tracked back to put pressure on attacker. I just don't think his intensity is sustainable for a season and its showing.

In the second half i agree but was wasteful in the 1st and was my prime candidate for first sub. Eddie must've said something as he was class after the break.

I agree mainly but Tonali has done some immense tracking back in his defence.

Games like this show we need someone in midfield in the window who can thread a pass as we only have Bruno. Elanga or Wissa on ASAP for me.

Not sure why Diogo Costa hasn't been linked he would be an upgrade on what we have currently.

Probably starts vs Burnley to get confidence and game time

I thought he played well throughout the game made some important challenges in the 2nd half.
