How do Brighton even play these days? Are they still a bunch of piss-about-at-the-back-for-ages-to-suck-the-other-team-into-a-high-press-so-they-can-use-the-resulting-space-for-quick-transition nonces?

I agree, when you aim to challenge at the top of the toughest league in the world the standard required is incredibly high and there's no room for error - 1 point less last year and we don't have champions league. Very hard for young players to be able to develop and establish themeselves at that level unless they're incredibly talented. That said, sometimes you've just got to take a chance and think of the merchandise.

Yeah kind of inevitable I guess. S'pose they could do something like have a round with set number of holes and you can only use each player once in the round. That might liven things up a bit. Perhaps they already offer that if you register.

If we build a new stadium and then extend it, does that keep everyone happy?

Good news [on 1 year extension], Pope is class.

You accusing @SteV of taking boys from Barnsley and attaching them to kestrels for his own personal gain?

Fair enough. Acquitted.

SteV ITK on teenage boys from Barnsley confirmed.

Same - using the 175 guy yesterday helped a little today tbh

Think any self-respecting fan would empathise with that.

I think we should all respect that he didn't just call himself 'United'.

I'll believe it when I see it: When Botman arrived, looked class and took Burn's place, suddenly Targett got injured and Burn got to play LB. When it became clear Burn couldn't manage LB any more Botman's knee goes again and Burn takes his place at CB. Now Botman's back again and looking class at CB, suddenly Tino and Hall, both go down and who gets to play LB? This can't be a conicidence. Either Hall's gonna suffer an injury setback or Botman's gonna get taken out. Don't fuck with Dan Burn.

I'm fuming at the very concept tbh.

Definitely need to bring back the old suit and tie as normal menwear is my takeaway.

You're not going to have a media career with that attitude.

Tonali had two assists in the league last year and 2.2 expected assists as a comparison (Anderson 6 assists and 3.3 expected assists). Anderson played 98 minutes more A lot can depend on your role in CM and he seems to mainly play the deeper, holding/linking role.

Is it mean to be a gun as well? For some reason I felt it was meant to be a crossbow, but I'm not sure why I think that.

No-one cared about Isak's gun celebration tbf. Though Gordon's does seem more calculating, like he's about to execute a hostage rather than just exuberently firing in the joy of the moment.

Honestly is is a bit strange that England's undisputed number 1 has been playing the prime of his career in a bottom half team, without any serious links to him moving. Everton are obviously a big historic club but they've been struggling for years and the mood around the club seemed pretty awful, at least until this year. Still, if he's happy there then fair play. I imagine if he wasn't happy there'd have been a few links pop up by now.

It seems to have been pretty common knowledge for a while now he was going to join us, hasn't it? Athletic reporting it was likely back in July. I imagine it's been basically agreed for a while that he'd finish the transfer window, do any handover and then come to us.

Perhaps it also means Tonali's getting a bump and the club figure they deserve parity. Or maybe it's all made up for clickbait.

'spose you can bring down his amoritisation a bit to cover the extra wages. He seems like the type who'll be here till around 32/3 then go and do a couple of years at Barcelona before heading home.

Love Friedel for the tap in.
