It's weird tbh. Krafth was noted as injured same time as Trips, yet we've had no definite news on the injury or when he is due back. Lascelles and Osula were much the same really, vague notions of 'not quite right' and injuries we find out about after the fact.

21 years. Fuck me. Seeing Souness again dragging up old feelings that ain't faded, mostly revolving around him being a cunt

Bruno, Hall and Miley are my non-negotiables like. I'm fully aware Bruno is getting on compared to those others and is probably at peak value but I'm emotionally invested for better or worse.

Very good this evening. His assignment tonight was quite interesting, especially first half. Basically was man-marking and holding in an almost false 9 position. Sometimes was even ahead of #9. That positioning was key in the first goal and a nice lil layoff to Wissa. When he's playing well and the opponents aren't sitting low block, he's massively effective!

Almost had Marseille and Barca too. Fantastic effort we've put in the CL.

If we sell this lad for PSR reasons I'm gonna jam forks in me eyes. Love 'im.

It's only a little bit of cloth and elastic but that's made me proper chuffed for Miley.

This game's been a tonic like.

Good performance so far. Pressured them well and capitalised. Hope Bruno is alreet. Let's not sit back the entire 2nd half now and this is in the bag.

I don't see how that's even relevant. The risk is they score due inability to track back or the injury is aggravated. Why does 'making it to half-time' change anything? 6 mins added too.

What's the point of keeping Bruno on and risking making it worse?

Wor Bruno could do with a rest anyway. 2 up Miley be fine.

Eh

No surprises there then. Wissa in his first CL start, here's hoping he can get up for this one and start banging them in. Into these ear-cutting sunflower painting lanky cunts

I was too young to really remember these. Though none of them really strike me as must-knows. Is it really that bizarre? If Shearer fucked off to Sunderland for the twilight of his career would it change my view of him and his legacy? Of course it fucking would. Same applies to those who come from the mackems. Can agree to disagree though. Wasn't Given there for a handful of games on loan?

Nothing out the ordinary to say, but I can't stand cunts who go to the mackems and then us. Should be an automatic ❌ in the scouting process.

I was being a bit glib, but I do think there's something in how we're being coached and setup offensively. It's not as though this type of performance/game is a one-off, and I don't put it down to a lack of quality or talent by the players

Think the more pressing question is: Did we play for a point?

We're a hard watch atm like. I know some people are more pragmatic but I'd rather be entertained and lose a few coin tosses than do nowt at all.

That was drab.

Only took 85 mins
