Holden McGroin

Fulham 1 Chelsea 0. Good start.

it’s pretty hard and harsh to judge him on his appearances so far but I’m going to anyway. 😀 He has only really looked okay v lower league opposition. He looks a fish out of water when he has come on in the PL. To be fair, Wilson has looked even worse. His body must have finally given up on him but he is just a poacher so might be needed if we ever need a late goal and are piling on the pressure.

Im surprised Tindall didn’t change to a lower block after about 5 minutes. Watkins was running our slow defence ragged so we could have just dug in and hit them on the counter. They needed to win it more than us. Naive from Tindall but you can’t really blame him. He didn’t ask for the job and is doing his best. The high press away from home is a dangerous game to play and we’ll get walloped off the better teams if we continue to use these tactics.

If we get a draw here and a win v Ipswich I’ll be over the moon.

I don’t think many teams can drop £100m anymore. He’d probably fit in well with Madrid. Man City could do with him as well.

I suspect he’ll get more game time next season with European competition. id loan out Willy O though. We’ll need 2 new strikers and he won’t get a look in. id for for Jonathan David but reckon he’ll have loads of offers

I think Villa will do us over the top. 2-0. Rashford, Malen. This is our 3rd game in 6 days with pretty much the same 11. Villa have a deeper squad and can rotate a few.

Aye. Pretty much spot on. Taking the sentiment away from Guti he was largely pretty average footballer. He worked his arse off and will go down as a cult player but he wasn’t any great shakes. The partnership between Enrique and Colo was class though. They made it look easy.

I also am sick to death of the “United never do it the easy way” First of all this isn’t true and secondly most clubs never DO IT in the first place.

Expect 10 more years of, “That famous night v Lyon”

Aye. Isn’t it like 50 million birds a year in the UK? That was my counter argument when the mrs decided she wanted a cat. It. didn’t work and now I have no birds in my garden - which I used to enjoy from my garden office.

Thats dinner sorted. Was it a wild rabbit or the next doors pride and joy?

He was another I considered but again wasn’t overly brilliant earlier in the season. Hall would be in with a shout as well but his injury has blocked that.

I had an Adolf playing golf last week. 2 shots in the bunker.

it’s only a matter of time before they start to decline.

He has been brilliant since his move to the 6 but before that he was average. Burn has played well all season thus far so would get my vote. Isak is quality but for me it’s someone who has played out of their skin.

Are you suggesting he stinks? He does look a bath-dodger to be fair

Fact alert. We haven’t beaten anyone away in the top 13.

That’s what I call my Mrs when I unload on her.

Barnes?

Have all his home goals been scored at the Gallowgate ? I can’t remember any at Leazes.

0.62 xG for 5 goals 😁 Murphy’s was an unexpected thunderbastard. Schars header was probably worth 0.6 on its own.

Barnes has the 5th best minutes per goals in the PL this season. Deadly.

Redknapp roasting xG. I didn’t see the stat but did they beat us on xG?
