Won’t be a loss to Villa as he’s heavily overhyped for what he is, just spends loads on average crap. You see Villa starting XI at the weekend and what has he contributed to it? Just a question now over next few weeks, will Emery follow if things don’t improve.

Such a poor career as he was very bright for us early on. Guess injuries just destroyed him?

The rhetoric around Miley is unhinged. Played away to a very good Bournemouth pressing side that’s had our midfield number last time out, and he wasn’t out of place. This is on back of coming into the starting XI cold too, where his confidence won’t be super high. He’s going to be a very good player for us.

Watching the Matchroom series, I can see why doing business with the Saudis can be very difficult ever since we’ve lost Stavaley connection that had a more direct link to Yasir.

They aren’t bad, but a team of our fringe players should still be beating them at home otherwise what the fuck is the point of keeping them beyond January.

Even if they were close at any point, Bradley, Gomez and Jones would fetch them £100m+ somehow

Depends what loads is. Like is he going to score more than he did at us? Not a chance IMO as Etitike is there and Salah is a big goal outlet at RW. I think he will even struggle to get near to his output at us which had him in same talk of being compared to Haaland. Haaland has started this season and made it clear there’s a massive gap in quality and output.

The other thing we need with Woltemade as striker alongside Gordon / Elanga having a prolong run on the wings, is one of the CMs running beyond him when he drops deep. Tonali can be that, but then we also need him to cover. Joelinton probably needs to reinvent himself for a 2nd time. Let Tonali be the tackling machine deeper, and Joe charging forward so he’s at less risk of injuries from tackles.

We wanted him as we could play a 4-4-1-1, Liverpool can’t even do that as they’ve got Wirtz. So really only one can play at any time, unless they’re chasing a game and Slot is throwing multiple attackers on. Isak I do believe you can make a genuine argument will be bit of a flop if he’s regularly coming off the bench. Don’t spend £125m for that. Why I want Liverpool to finally drop off, as it’s terrible squad building that shouldn’t be rewarded.

Good job the rules set up so no-one can trouble the cartel 6, and were left with this shite.

Rest as many as you can, should not be needing to roll out any big guys, give them a proper week off. Ramsdale: Krafth, Thaiw, Lacelles, Trippier: Willock, Miley, X: Barnes, Osula, Murphy Just don’t know who the other CM could be. Maybe have to play Joelinton. Bruno at all costs and Tonali can’t see the pitch.

This phase of long throws / set plays etc. has made this premier league era proper stodgy.

Really strong performance. Bit sloppy at times, but was really beaten by Semenyo. Constantly passing forward too which we’ve missed. Him and Gordon back together next week will be huge.

Superb game from him. Really hope he can remain injury free as he was class on the ball. Just small things like doing a roulette past an attacker

Will say a point away to a top half side after a tough UCL game is great if that’s the minimum across the seasons. Just what’s the sour taste is how toothless we still look, so both parts need separating. Applaud a good point. Right to criticise / have concerns going forward in our general play to create.

Gordon gets slated, but him back LW will help our attacks loads. Just a constant threat for the full back and enables us to be higher up the pitch, even if he’s not scoring or assisting directly.

Say it again, we’re so shit with the ball so far this season.

This to go in and sum up the game.

Corner clearing first man

£200m spent, years into the takeover and our subs at 0-0 are Lascelles and Osula

Lascelles

Christ Thaiw. Proper Sunday league last 5.

Wissa available or not, we’re a very stodgy side this season. Just have so little threat in games.

It’s just such lazy defending too that can be easily taken out of the game by punishing each shirt pull. Woltemade went down to exaggerate, but the pull meant he couldn’t get to the ball before the other Bournemouth player so he was disadvantaged. That’s a foul.

What the fuck was Pope doing?!
