If you receive a masters from the worst law school in the country, is it the same qualification?

No, most definitely not

What odds Tonalis Bookie just waits for all this to blow over. Then comes back on in a week or two? 

Evens? 

ride what out? a discussion?

 

I know differing opinons arent really allowed on here but theres nothing to 'ride out'

You're kind of a shit lawyer if your posts are anything to go by. You've been harping on with a different opinion for months, and you're still here free to drone on about them. They are obviously allowed here, just as opinions that your opinions are shit are as well.

[JT24]

Expecting some hefty apologies by midnight from the usual suspects.

[The Butcher]

My man.

[Bimpy474]

Have that anyone who doubts the man.

[Dr Venkman]

Stick that up your bollocks you tarts.

[Erikse]

3 points behind Liverpool.

[Pilko]

Well done to him and the staff. Big win, one we really needed, and on the day we just about deserved.

 

Sitting Botman down for Schar was the right call, too. 

[AJ9]

Fucking yes Eddie. Always will be the fucking man.

[Andy]

Much more balanced team today, we're much better with dynamic fullbacks. 

[BlazeT44]

Hall and Tino provide much more stability. Thiaw solid as ever. Schar gives a sense of stability.

 

Midfield good, could use an extra CM for Big Joe. 

 

Can't wait for Wissa to be fit. Woltemade looks shagged out.

[Nine]

International break, mid week training sessions, Hall and Livra back in what do you know? We put out the kind of coherent, energetic performance we all got used to seeing before this season.

Away form next please 

[Shak]

Feels like a kickstarter that, cracking performance and a huge result.

 

Two fullbacks returning is massive to the way we play.

 

Also, Bruno played centrally as the deepest of the midfield trio and I will be very interested to see if that sticks.

 

Makes sense, on paper. With Isak we needed a creative player in an advanced role to play passes in behind for him. With Woltemade, perhaps it’s more important to have a RCM in Sandro who has the legs to get up and support him quickly with his back to goal, with Bruno pinging passes into Nick from his deeper role.

 

Be quite a quirk if the key to our season is yet again switching Tonali and Bruno’s positions.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Great choices in defence and I thought the midfield tweak to put Bruno central was excellent.

[LiquidAK]

Eddie I love you 

[TBG]

Presumably will be the thread at the top of the page for the foreseeable?

[NobertoSolano]

Who knew that actually having full backs that can actually put pressure on both ends of the pitch would help us in the way we played. 

 

Forget the result but actually creating big chances in open play was a sight to see. 

 

You have to layer in context! We will do just fine!

[Matt1892]

Great result today and hopefully we can build off the back of it, but this is the sort of game that we raise our performance for and play it like a cup final, we play the role of underdog very well.

 

It is the games where we are not the underdog that we struggle with, but hopefully we have turned the corner and can put a run together.

[Displayname]

Yeah I'm not going to apoligize for raising questions, not that those question would ever be answered in a match against City after a 2 weeks break anyways.

 

Fantastic stuff today though! Having two functioning FBs made a huge difference.

[Sibierski]

Delighted he got the win  Really hope we back it up now away to Everton because those games are where our issues are rather than the big ones under the lights at home.

[HayDen Traces]

That was an Eddie team performance

[midds]

Throwback to our 22/23 season that one today and lush to watch too. Carved City open a few times and could have got even more in that first 70 mins (they should have notched too it must be said) but the fact we're creating again is huge. Big Nick is still dropping deep but I thought a bit less so than he has been which meant more of a presence higher up top, he should have had at least 1 today but can't fault his effort or application tbh. 

 

Howe needed a result more than a performance but ended up getting both  -we won the game, created loads of chances AND managed to see the game out and all of those 3 things we have been struggling with recently in the league. Even the 'hanging on to grind the result out' is a big positive after the heartbreaks to Arsenal and those cunts. Lat 20 mins weren't pretty but they proved they can do it and it'll give the squad and fans a huge boost that today. Made up for him but we still need the foot on the gas as we're still below where we 'should' be as a club, players need to back it up with a result at Everton next weekend
