Missed the last 2 games, but agree with those saying we need a midfielder making runs in behind when he drops deep 

 

Should work well with his ability, plus dragging the opposition CB's out. Villa done it to perfection last season against us with Watkins and Rogers. 

 

Deffo wanting a prolific midfielder if we do this though, Gordon and Elanga aren't going to be our Salah and Mane, so hopefully Ramsey/Joelinton can contribute this season 

 

Also noticed we done a box midfield at times recently, nice to see something new from the Edward 

Done this in the build up quite a bit before, haven’t we? Trippier usually the man coming into the middle and to

start with, looked great doing it. 
 

I think Hall has also been the man in and done well at it, as you’d expect. Tino had a go one game and didn’t look comfortable at all. 

[huss9]

the whole Wissa situation has fucked up Eddie's plan for this lad.

[The College Dropout]

Who is on penalties btw?

 

I have a feeling it should be Schar. We might persist with Gordon though. 
 

Nick W or Wissa should claim it. Easy 3-5 goals a season. 

[The College Dropout]

Think Tino has looked good carrying the ball in the box.

Yeah we have, but noticed Joelinton and Woltemade as the top 2 of the 4 man box midfield, don't recall Isak ever doing this, so I guess partly something new!

Maybe that’s why we were after Frattesi

Bayern aren't bitter at all:

 

Bayern Munich chief, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has taken a swipe at Liverpool and Newcastle's summer business for Bundesliga stars in a bitter attack.

 

The Reds snatched Florian Wirtz for £116million despite Bayern's interest and the German giants were also beaten to £65m Nick Woltemade by Eddie Howe's side. 

 

Rummenigge, who was formerly the CEO at Bayern and is now on their advisory board, pulled no punches in discussing both moves. 

 

'I have to honestly say, I still feel sorry for Florian Wirtz because I think the player would be better off at Bayern Munich than at Liverpool,' the 69-year-old told Welt. 

 

'We could have signed Woltemade,' he added. 'But I also have to say: FC Bayern would be well advised not to go along with every financial madness

[Kid Icarus]

The brass neck on them to whinge about having done to them what they've been doing to every German club for decades. Absolutely no surprise that they're hated.

[GeordieDazzler]

Didn’t someone link a Stuttgart forum and they were absolutely fucking delighted not to have sold to Bayern

[janpawel]

Missed the last 2 games but just watched the extended highlights of the Bournemouth game

 

His hold up play is exquisite, the ball seems to stick to him and he's quality with his back towards goal. Though I know it only shows our good bits of play 

 

Hope he can become a fox in the box and also get some goals arriving in, assuming our wingers get played in off his layoffs

 

What we lose in transition ability from losing Isak, hopefully we can improve in 1/2 more other areas of play

How long was the video? They’d do well to stretch the so called highlights to 3 minutes

"Financial madness"

 

Big Nick is a bargain, simple as.

[TRon]

Weren't Bayern the only club in Europe interested in paying £100m for a 30 yr old Harry Kane? 

 

I mean he's a great striker, but that's what I would call financial madness.

On the other hand he’s got 70 goals in just over 2 years and will get at least 50 over the next 2 seasons there you’d think. Not his number one fan but that’s not madness.

Fine but then don't talk about other clubs financial madness. More than likely they would be winning everything in Germany with a 25 yr old £100m striker. They could have bought Isak for just over half that.

In 2023? There’s no way we’d have let him go for that.

Tbf, these are first world problems. I wish we could afford to spend £100m on a proven striker but we'd get destroyed by the FFP police. 

[gbandit]

I fucking love this lad as a 10

[Rich]

Him and Wissa are going to cause ructions if they ever play together.

[AJ9]

Love what he is offering so far. Absolute fucking Rolls Royce

[TRon]

Looks like a Rolls Royce player. No wonder Bayern are pissed. 

[gdm]

His passing and link up play is so good 

[Ben]

He's a cracking footballer 

[KDT]

At least we know he’s better than League 1 level.
