'2-0 to Forest at half time here at Molineux, Wolves fluffed their chances but Forest haven't. Jamie, what does Rubin Amorim have to do to get 'United®' firing on all cylinders again and how well has Slot done at Anfield since taking over?' ® Sky sports

Yep. It’s funny how seemingly little things can create a big change in form. Tonali looks more comfortable sitting, and that releases Bruno to play further forward where his through balls can cause damage. There’s obviously an increased understanding that comes with that midfield 3 playing together too. What I also like is they’re all happy receiving the ball under pressure which allows better attacking football. Murphy playing well means Gordon can play on his favoured side. And Isak’s form has been discussed loads but it’s not really easy for a central lone striker to influence play much when the team isn’t playing consistently well. I think it’s as much to do with that with Isak as opposed to his playing much better. I do think Murphy is a bit underrated though. Even though he’s obviously in a great bit of form. I always think a lot of people underestimate how much confidence impacts team performances as well.

Liverpool fan I know said the result against Man Utd wasn't so bad because "no other team capitalised, unless we're saying Man City are still in it". Boy oh boy, the speed I c&p-ed the league table. Brother, it would have made your head spin clean off.

Good Morning Workers

He's not just wrong, he's Miles Cheong.

hope they don't drag us into the type of game they want

Brace yourselves, apparently the yanks are coming to "liberate" us

Bragging about being old and close to death, pretty bleak.

Given who wrote the article, the thread will definitely be the better read

Just thought I'd put sky on for the Wolves v Forest game and obviously all weekend talking about Liverpool v Man United wasn't quite enough. Sky trying to talk about anyone else.....

If we keep most of the main players fit we can get CL, especially if 5th gets you that, no idea whats the latest on that UEFA coefficient thing or whatever it's called. Squad depth is obviously the issue with us, especially at CF. Isak gets injured and we're screwed. We're not a mid table side with a fit team though, we're easily CL challengers. Isak and most of our midfield would start for most PL sides, you could argue Hall and Tino are not far off. Botman too when match fit. This is where Tonali, Hall and Gordon have really added value. It's not just Isak and Bruno carrying the team with occasional help from your Miggys and Murphys. There's proper quality across the park now. The positive thing for me now is the team seems to believe that which gives you the ability to put together these runs in between the inevitable hiccups.

Must be overtime on at Nissan.

BTW. Has there EVER been anything more shameless than the tories attacking Starmer and Phillips over child sexual abuse and implicitly supporting Musk over this? Something about this was really bugging me more than normal. Then I remembered. Remember this? Remember when their leader and PM of the time said money spent investigating historic child sex abuse was money "spaffed against the wall"? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47560192 I actually hate these cunts just as much in opposition. They have no decency, no humility, no humanity whatsoever. They are, and always will be, scum.

While we relegate Everton and secure CL football. Would beat 96/7 for me.

Aaaye, I tell yee, an Injury to Isak and we’re doomed, doomed

Well. We're fucked.

That comment was funnier the first time Will get you some remedial Internet lessons 😀

That photo.

I think we need to rest a whole bunch of players, this isn’t as important as the league.

I haven't read the referenced article or the thread, but what amuses me is that it has already generated a 21 page thread after less than 2 hours.

"They don't have a blob shift on satda.....[both]....we have!"

oh bugger its a cup game. forget most of that ramble

'You don't stop those, Clive.'

Not as mental as every Sunderland fan I spoke to after the game saying he had a good match

Aye, I was talking to an Arsenal fan the other day and he was saying they'd had two players sent off for time wasting Arteta clearly taking the 'if you can't beat'em, join'em' approach with this. Shame then that he doesn't know how to do it properly... why are your players already on yellow cards, doing the timewasting? That feels like a fairly stupid approach.

Here he is.

Was it you ??

For the wheels to come off for them, it'll need someone who keeps picking up points every time they falter. Someone like us. 😎

Aye looks like Tindall's just cupped and scooped one and a bit's gone in his gob.

Reminds me of @Jimbo’s Magnum opus

And a land rover/range rover the fucking CUNTS.

I think there are a big bunch of teams this year that could go either way (both drop off or be in the hunt for CL spots). A lot will depend on injuries and tiredness. We’ve also managed to finally find the balance in centre midfield and Murphy is currently in a massive purple patch. As PL says though we are an Isak injury away from dropping down a few places.

I'd forgotten how bad they were in our cup match last year. Every one of the goals they conceded were self inflicted.

Well I think we’re all of that opinion. No one has really addressed our weakened side though, or the near absolute fuckin necessity for Arteta to win a trophy very soon for the sake of his own job… for that reason alone I think there’s a chance they’ll play a strong side and try to put the tie to bed as best they can tomorrow night, not to mention their fixture list with two champions league games at the end of January. If they do try to go for it then I think they’re ripe for being hit on the counter and it’ll make for a very competitive and watchable game. But with a half fit Sven or the fairly average Kelly in our back line coupled with the signs of fatigue shown in the 57 minute second half on Saturday then for me it’s going to very be tricky to get a servicable outcome… a draw would be a fuckin great result…

If I was a gambling man, I’d put good money on them owning either a pug or a miniature Yorkie.

Maguire at the end The last player any Man Utd fan would want to be on the end of that chance. You'd imagine they'd sooner have it fall to Onana.

Late Fulham penalty. You and Everton.

Aye, well worth a follow

Yeah. I think Longstaff will get the nod. im also not sure Botman can play two games in 4 days so we might see Kelly start?
