Sub Longstaff now. How much time did he want then, just to kick it against someones shins.

This game is once again showing what little ball players we have against a low block. Like Longstaff / Joe / Barnes / Almiron are all not good for it. So even with better quality, it's more easier to defend against.

Longstaff so shit

Yes Miley. Wake up now.

They're a physical team, so guess he's been picked to keep things in order.

I don't mind selling to our competitors if it's on our terms and we know it's the right time having got our mileage. Like Bruno will drop off badly in years to come, when he loses the half yard of his little pace, he's going to look so bad. So getting his best years, then selling to a Prem club who gets 1-2 season before being saddled with 4 years isn't bad. It's losing the ones who are on the cusp which would be hard. Like Isak to a Prem club, rather he went abroad.

Nearly a cup upset again on this TV game.

He was great at the Euros for Georgia. Certainly not overrated. Very talented player who’s allowed a dip in his early 20s. Guy was playing in Georgia 3 years ago ffs Had probably fuck all elite coaching and just plays of pure ability.

How about Morgan Whittaker for £12m? Squad option for rest of season and future depth if a wild offer comes for Murphy in summer.

Who hasn't got a 7 year contract there (that's been signed in past 24 months)? They've also got Sterling coming back too So probably got to suck up most of his wages even if they get him back out on loan. Would like us to sniff around Chukwuemeka too from them if available for £20m. He's a perfect CM for current Premier League.

Forgot they've got Mudryk too who's going to be banned. What a fucked up club they are

No issues IMO. Chelsea will probably push that narrative because if they need sales (which they will) people will be forced out. Chelsea next season have got Sancho / Felix / Esteavo / Neto for wide areas, and Madueke probably the one that's got a market due to lower wages so we should take advantage.

Some strike from a RB. Such a daft unique talent.

Clinical. Proper punishment for one mistake.

Probably none, but that’s more to do with the gulf. Leicester best that came up and should be doing better, but they lost their manager and main CM (who’s training with Chelsea reserves). When a top end Championship club has that happen, there’s not much hope. Forest have survived and that’s on two 36 point seasons and spending way beyond their means Been very fortunate and should now use it as a chance to establish themselves as one of the 9-15 sides where they can build a huge gap to the Championship. It’s easy to forget the talent that’s in the Championship. Only other season Gykores was playing in there. Over the coming seasons the odd side will survive that comes up, but that’ll probably be more down to the chips falling nicely. Prem money has broken the English game. Probably should have a premier league 2 and two leagues of 18, but then that would proper kill off the lower divisions so can’t see EFL clubs ever voting for something like that.

The champ the best it’s ever been IMO, just the top end sides are so far ahead of rest of league it’s broken. Then the gulf to the upper lower half of prem is huge too. Something will give in future seasons because the outlay in the championship top end is daft to chase the prem money. Stoke for example would be long folded as a club if the local bookies didn’t own them.

Remember when people were wanking over West Ham and Aston Villa transfer business in summer?

Based on their signings of Doku / Savinho / Nunes, there’s more duds then hits in their buys. So wouldn’t lose too much sleep over him going to Man City.

Diaby they miss. They got their money back straight away, but going to spend season after season (if not window after window) chasing someone to give what he gave, and in the end be worse off for it.

How many times can you reinvent the kit? Like the away one this season a copy of one years gone by, I'd rather keep forever. It's great. Kits are such a money maker for the kids, but new one every season is utterly pointless and there's only so much you can do with stripes

Potter was very good for Brighton. Moving what they were under Hughton to what he left them in was superb stuff. It's then provided the base for future managers to come in and the platform be minimum mid table. The signings and set up higher above at Brighton key to enable that. When he went to Chelsea, it was just a poor move. Batshit club, where there's no principles to their signings and even though it was better players, the team was a mess. Too many and even Maresca going to encounter that 2nd half of season after continuing the form Poch left Chelsea in. I like Potter as a coach, but I think he's again gone to a poor choice club. Who are Chelsea on a smaller scale. Scatter gun approach to signings regularly, impatient board and fans will turn if they're not onboard in first few months. Not going to be provided the time.

Next 4 key, but then that would be 9 games won in a row Have we ever done that in the Prem? May drop points in one, but 10 points minimum in next 4 feels key if we are to open up a small gap that we can manage till end of season. Be looking at 14 games left and probably 22-25 points required minimum to get top 6. Which the home games you have to back yourself in with who we got to play to get most of those points (7 games). Say it's 5 wins 2 draws, even that means just 2 away wins in the 7 minimum. Which makes the away games less daunting. Essentially for me from here on to end of season, take advantage of home form. Clean that up (8 wins/2 draws minimum in the 10 left), we get Europe.

Probably the opposite, signing some younger players who can grow and not kick up a fuss with no Europe for a season

Man City may click together, it’s Chelsea we need to focus on. We finish above them, we get top 4. Villa are the other team too, but UCL will distract them IMO.

Paid £90. In the hope it increases my future odds of finally getting a ticket through the ballot
