Botman can not come out 2nd half.

What the fuck is Joelinton doing man.

Botman is rattled early.

So much space in this game, just got to get better at our decision making. Like then, Isak playing a dumb ball to Murphy when Gordon was open.

Fuck me Joelinton. Know your limits.

Get in. Now let’s play sensible.

Botman is too raw for this game ffs.

Scared about Botman return and needing to do a few recovery runs against genuine pace. Says a lot about Kelly that Botman is starting. Please, another fast start like against Man Utd. Get ahead and let the fans turn on Spurs.

That’s the joy of modern day fees for players who are young, HG and showing potential. Why we should be signing more of them, and we sort of have been for a couple but can see us targeting them more for our development squad. Because often, even if you spent £3m on one, you likely make the money back on loan fees and a small sale at end at worse case.

They’ve got such a makeshift team, I’m scared it’s not going to help us as we won’t know much about them.

Signed two seasons ago for £600k. Big profits once again.

So the £20m keeper can't be trusted at all, and we'll pass up on money for a back up GK and lose him for £0? If we do that, we deserve to be fucked over by PSR again.

There’s still a big gulf. Ipswich getting like near 30k fans each week is a big difference to Wrexham, and despite their spending so far, to then do Bournemouth levels of spending from like 2010s is again another big leap for their Hollywood owners. They’ll tighten up the spending next season if they go up, because they will be realising how much it costs (and it’s throwing money away) to chase the dreamland. Probably fancy them to cash out most of their shares too. Having the prem money and 25k+ fans most weeks is a big difference maker in championship. Even sides like PNE who have been steady enough in Championship are slowly being edged out of the league because of the financial gulf.

Barnes won’t be moving this January, but I don’t think we’ll be putting up a hard battle to keep him if a club offers £35m in summer. Willock / Longstaff will be ahead of him for planned sales, but all depends on who makes the offer first.

They’ve got Bailey, Rodgers, Buendia, Philogene already for wide areas. Only because Emery has gone cold on three of them he wants someone new. It’s proper short term thinking. Only in summer Matseen and Barkley were lauded as astute business, and both of those aren’t favoured by Emery either. Only positive of the signing is they’ll get most of fee back.

It’s not. He’ll be discarded by them come end of season. Has no spot in their team, just signing him because they’re desperate and Bailey hasn’t hit previous heights.

How many strikers have we seen in the game that have looked good at young age because of their physicality and what you see is what you end up getting. Loads. Too often people will see all young players as room to grow etc when they have the physical attributes early doors. Like Haaland, he’s the exact same player as he was 36 months ago. Top goalscorer, but still a lot to his game that lacks which you would’ve assumed would improve by now.

Why we talking about Hojlund in the Isak thread. Guy is average and will be sacked off to the bench by Amorim in summer if he’s still there.

Dani Olmo has Man City written all over him. Which doesn’t help them at all.

Literally going to have three sides come up once again who are fucking shit, offer very little to the league fun / quality and just get humped.

There’s a LOT of Pink seats for a huge home game.

All about the delivery. It’s on the money, whipped in with pace that clears first man. That will always create chances when you can get runners onto the ball.

Brentford will be sliding down to that relegation battle over next few months IMO. Probably got enough to stay up because of home form first half of season, but they’re abysmal away and home games only going to be tougher.

Bromley will be his final game you feel.

Sometimes a rotation of a player or two is needed when in form, because those players coming in will be chomping to make an impression and be more involved in the feel good wins.
