Agreed about Joelinton. If he isn’t in wrecking ball mode then we need one of the others in there. I don’t think we are that far off it. If we get the next goal I think we’ll win it but Leverkusen are picking us off pretty well so a second for them looks more likely.

Good save by Rambo from Quansah. I thought his postioning for the first goal was shite again. The ball shouldn’t roll into the middle of the net, They are deadly on the counter and it’s only a matter of time before they get a second.

Cheers boys.

True. Elanga was supposed to add blistering pace and assists to the team. Gordon has been shite as well. Where would you strengthen though? Our full backs are class but prone to injury so not sure if any top class FBs are willing to come to play second fiddle. Id big time go for Gregor Kobel from Dortmund for GK.

Our strategy has been fairly obvious since Howe got here. 1) Fast, high press start 2) Get in the lead 3) Sit deep and hit on the counter Since the rat left (and Wissa hasn't been able to fill his spot) we haven't been able to cause defences that much harm and if we do get in the lead we have nothing on the counter as we have no blistering pace up front (again not his fault. I think he is class btw) so we get penned in. We are also tired from the CL schedule which is leading to late goals. I cant see much changing to be honest any time soon. I think we'll struggle with consistency.

If my nan had wheels she’d be a bike. Piss poor goalkeeping. Would like to hear Strawbs take on it. Burn looked knackered to be fair. So did Woltemade.

It was a pea roller in the centre of the goal. Really bad goalkeeping. That’s what I’ve been trying to point out with the Pope witch hunt. Pope’s mistakes have been errors in judgements, not ability. Romero’s second goal was just poor footwork and anticipation.

At least he can kick though.

I think Murphy has a football brain and is good running onto the ball. He is really poor with his back to goal though. Elanga is a sprinter. That’s as polite as I can be. He is obviously struggling to adapt to Howes team but he looks like a league two player at the moment.

If we beat Burnley then 10 points from 12 is a good haul.

Aye. I’ve got no idea why he is our penalty taker.

I’m hoping Wissa comes in hot. We need him.

I’d rather play your nephew.

It’s going to be one of those seasons I’m afraid. We can’t string any consistency together

Aye. It’s looking possible. We ran out of gas towards the end of the half so unless we can recharge the batteries at half time then they are going to get more into the game.

All you need is a shirt pull for a yellow.

I think he’ll play Tonali-Bruno-Ramsey tonight. Possibly Willock instead of Ramsey. Gordon and Murphy on the wings.

We should sack him?

We all know Lennon tried to head butt Shearers foot, the mad bastard.

I think the consensus on here when we signed him was that he was better than Dubs, therefore we have better strength in depth. He is also loan which also brings up doubts as to whether he'll even be here next season.

it’s essentially a middle class caravan park. It is quite nice having a coffee in the morning and a deer is pottering around outside. The leisure pool is also good and just about the only free activity. EVERYTHING ELSE is a massive fucking rip off. I have to smile through gritted teeth every time I have to pay for something or else I’ll ruin the holiday for everyone.

I wouldn't recommend going to Centerparcs then (I fucking hate the place now but the mrs insists on going every year or 2). I saw a bloke wearing one this week.

He is living off the period before he got injured. If he can get back to that level then we have a world class CB on our books but Im not sure we'll ever see the same player. I hope he does though.

Nailed it. The reform government aren't going to make voters lives better. In fact I bet the majority of them cant name one reason (other than immigration) or policy to vote for them.
