Aye, Longstaffs formative years were spent at a club that was going nowhere, with coaches that couldn't develop him. Miley is playing with better players, coaches and in better facilities at a much younger age, he has every chance to go to the top.

Wissas goal today made me so happy, before that ball came across to murphy he was right on the line of the defence, waiting for a chance to go, we've missed that so much this season. The finish as well, given how quickly that ball popped back to him off the keeper, so good.

Old enough that my embracing of this 67 thing is making it extremely cringeworthy and uncool to my niece. Which is working as intended.

Just stick him on ignore man

Both goals have felt like the teams playing in slow motion so far but that might just be me after our work christmas do last night 😅, our lack of a right back very clearly targeted for theirs.

I mean, most people do have the ability to go to other places, but anyway they've said they're going to sharpen up the laws already.

Fulham match thread anyone?

Assuming they're similar to here then it'll be along the lines of "hunting and/or farming"

Hes played 90 mins in his last four games, and seven of his last ten. And he has been absolutely superb this season.

Peps an absolute perv for fullbacks though, and no one has one like Tino anywhere else in england, I could see it happening.

Hes not performing like his heads been turned tbf

City generally do their transfer business early and fairly straight forwardly, I can't see another Liverpool/Isak saga as that was just an absolute perfect storm of absolute cunts. I don't think he'll go in Jan, hes in a really competitive spot for england fullbacks for the world cup and hes a dead cert to play every game for us that he can while also looking like (and being) one of the best in the team. Tuchel has been brutal on dropping people if they aren't playing/performing so a high profile move is risky in Jan. He could go in summer but we'll want/get top dollar for him and then he'll be off to somewhere that will double or triple his wages and be competing for titles and in europe every year. Can't argue with that from our current position.

Yes I have somehow ended up with the derby thread. Thought I'd get this up early to allow those of the persuasion ample time to piss and shit themselves out before the game itself. Its away, its at 2pm, its on sunday.

I can take no credit here beyond asking for help tbh, its all Ant. He's a good egg.

An away draw is a good result, keeps us twelfth which means a seeded playoff spot. Next CL game is home to PSV which we should win

Hes still going on about how leverkusen should have had penalty and how we should be down to ten

Thiaw pushed up and Schick just legged it off him pretty much for free. We need to get ourselves sorted out here.

Pearce is desperate for that to be a penalty and a red. Accidental clip of the heel outside the box and he will not stop going on about it.

Ive got jonathan pearce on commentary and he sounds SO fucking bored

We're playing at 9am for me, so if we're rough I'll hoy up a thread on the discord. Don't worry.

Thats incredible Rb is hume v trippier apparently, despite Tino outscoring both of them on the whoscored metric. Hall outscored both Burn and Reinildo for LB Murphy outscored traore so they put him up against elanga instead Same for Gordon and Le fee so they stuck him up against barnes. So that side, by their own criteria should actually be Pope Tino Thiaw Mukiele Hall Xhaka Bruno Tonali Murphy Woltemade Gordon Suddenly not looking so good for our rivals is it

Another chance for us to throw away a result late on comes in midweek! Three games to go in the group stage and ones away at PSG so we could really do with a win here to give us a good chance of going through.

Amazing what happens when I'm asleep.
