Andrew

And today on "things that never happened"

Think he's injured and unlikely to play anyway isn't he? If thats right and then we're off season it's effectively a 5 month ban.

Already confirmed that we weren't having a "saudi" sponsor next season wasn't it?

Where have you got those numbers from?! https://www.whoscored.com/Players/369875/Show/Dominik-Szoboszlai 8 and 10 for his club this season.

We'll still be third by the end of the weekend but this race for the champions league is getting tighter and tighter and this is a real missed opportunity for us.

Ref to blow bang on 96 mins despite booking a player for time wasting during stoppage time and sending one off.

Hows he able to just walk up to the opposition manager with no reaction from any security until he's got there?!

90th minute hes finally off, fat lot of good thats likely to be for us. Useless cunt of a ref, finally makes a decision when it will have as little impact as possible.

Aye we've not been good enough, I dont even feel like they've dragged us down to their level, we just haven't shown enough at all to win. That also doesn't excuse the state of this refereeing performance mind you, so many fouls unpunished, Firpo still on the pitch somehow despite two decent shouts for sending him off.

The number of fouls in this game and the refs given most of the cards out for technicalities

Fucking CAAAAALLLLEEEEDDD it.

That needs to be it now, galvanised by the pen save, no more stupid fucking mistakes. We are better than leeds and need to start playing like it.

Nick Pope

Beglins fucking wank. As is this ref, willock goes down holding his head, we're on the attack so the game goes on, we lose it and Leeds counter running past Willock who is STILL ON THE GROUND, no whistle, nothing.

Was just thinking the same, if he keeps them in his pocket much longer he'll lose control completely. Nailed on the first one will be for us after our first foul when leeds rack up 10

It would be absolutely hilarious if it turned out the bilbao black cats were technically right all along but that they were thick enough to pick the wrong spanish club

Aye the pair have been working together for about 15 years and has moved with Howe to every job, but OH NO! James here reckons Howe must be desperate for Tindall to take a back seat and not do the thing he always does.

A right good booing inspired by the Liverpool fans yesterday would set things off superbly, make it unbearably hostile to absolutely everything except our team from before the match even starts.

Edson Alvarez at Ajax has apparently been made available for 50 milion euros, we've been linked with him a fair bit over January and last summer. Could see us being interested at that price considering the prices thrown around for other midfielders we're supposedly looking at.

Assume we'd have Bruno, Willock, Joelinton starting there if hes out which is still good enough to win that fight. Probably means Gordon starts on the left with Isak or Wilson introduced later on

He suits that club down to the ground

Aye he fits us well, though I'm not sure exactly what role he plays in our current system. Haidara makes more sense through that lens. That said, we've been linked with a few players now who play as a number 10, which is a role that doesn't exist in our current system but our style will have to continue evolving as we mature into being one of the "top 6" or whatever it'll be once we crash the party. So it does make some sense that in games with a deeper opposition we'd move more to a 4231 with a more out and out attacking midfielder in the middle than our current 433.

With him their midfield is basically sorted for the next 7 or 8 years, Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni & Valverde. Can see them going for Osimhen

Ben White came through the academy but Ashworth was technical director for the signing of all of them apart from Burn. Its a hell of a track record
