Just seen the team and prospective line up from Man City. I hope this isn't the game Pep disappears up his own arse...

Don't ever recall him being called a headless chicken. More labelled as a poor finisher.

I also agree about the players looking knackered which doesn't bode well when they've had a WC break and also don't have Europe or FA Cup to deal with.

I think that's the extra bit you get from being at the match, that us arm chair fans don't get. Agree, he'll be gone. I think Eddie has tried to get through to him and genuinely think he has a positive attitude but he isn't the player for us anymore.

I agree. It is embarrassing but there are players out there that don’t suit a pressing system. He is almost a throwback where his ability has probably carried teams throughout his life. Can you imagine Ginola, Robert or Ben Arfa joining in a team press? anyway. I’m equally pissed off with him. I was shouting at the screen as well. I just think he won’t be able to adjust to this passing first and attack his full back when the time is right.

Aye. Not saying he wasn’t terrible in both offence and defence but he is like a fish out of water in this team. He is desperately trying to think “pass, pass, pass” but that’s like asking Stuart Pearce not to tackle.

We are going to see this a lot now. Teams are going to sit in against us now. Now Miggys goals have dried up (as expected) we are going to struggle to break teams down. Shame we didn’t go balls out for Maddison. He could have been the difference in the second half of the season.

A bit harsh on ASM. He just isn’t a player for this team unfortunately. You could tell he just doesn’t know what to do in a pressing and pass team. Completely alien to him.

Cracking story MF. 😄

What do we think happened to Nicola Bulley then? Mad this story. Has Netflix doc written all over it.

That second goal was sublime.

Year left on his contract when summer comes around. Thats the time to sell. And even then that weakens them a bit because a club could just sit it out and get him for a free in a year. I'd imagine we play hard ball like that.

"key witness withdrew"

Tricky one this. The tapes are pretty damning. His sponsors all abandoned him. His teammates removed him from social media. But he has been found not guilty. Not sure what Man Utd will do here. He is technically innocent now so in theory he should be welcomed back with big open arms.....

Mason Greenwood charges have been dropped. Where does this leave him?

is Isak definitely out?

Without Bruno I say we go full on Bruce-ball. 11 men behind the ball, concede possession and give it to Maxi to win us the game.

I know what you are saying and feel similalry. However, I reckon Almiron can play the number 8 position for example - in a similar manner to Willock. After that....can we get Hendrick back? 🤪

I suspect almiron could also plug the willock gap (number 😎 if needed.

He nearly had 4.

Although I’d imagine he’ll be back on his shit list after playing next 3 games as a DM. 😀

They are something else.

This is Wykiki's way of saying he is now begrudgingly a Longstaff fan.

It very difficult to change type when you've spent most of your life having the luxury of being the best player on the team and having that right. I agree, I think he he'll be gone in the summer. It will be very interesting to see if Eddie starts him in next 3 games. I suspect he'll go for Gordon.
