3! Longy!

That was a harder finish than the one he missed Everyone thought Murphy was going to pass to Trippier again who was making a lung bursting run.

Murphy brilliant again!

Yesss get in!

We've got to attack those Trippier balls better. Get Joe in there a bit more

Gordon links up really well doesn't he. Looks sharp, other than that terrible finish. Joe understandably a bit disconnected so far.

Another great chance this time missed by Wilson. What a ball again by Trippier

Well I was lenient there. Gordon has actually missed an open goal ffs

Oh Gordon's missed a great chance there. Great play by Murphy again

Ah lovely play not sure how Wilson hasn't scored, maybe just a bit behind him

Longstaff needs to wake up a bit, been some poor touches.

Fyp

The distribution from Schar outstanding. Should get a second here and finish these off

What a touch by Trippier man! Not sure what Murphy was trying but he's scored

Aha get in!

Murphy starting is a strange one. Saving up Miggy for Dortmund?

This is in hidnsight of course, I thought it was a 8/10 when the window shut It's looking a bit pale right now and it could well prove to be in the context of this season, but it was obviously done with the long term plan in mind. Which is what we'll have to remind ourselves off when Miggy's right foot is driving everyone insanse again tomorrow.

Really does look a shite summer transfer window now with Tonali on the verge of being out long term. I wonder how much FFP wriggle room we have for January to try and retain the CL spot. Time to announce official toilet paper, monkey wrench and butter knife partners.

I don't see PIF or the other owners tearing up the gameplan over this one matter. Eventually, there's going to be plenty of other bad transfers in the course of the club's evolution, as well as we've done in the market so far you can't eliminate all risk. Mind you if they stick with him and lets say he comes back and plays next year he could still be a great player for us for years to come. They'll be focusing on finding wriggle room to sign a couple of players in January to strengthen where we couldnt in the summer.

Loan swap with Tonali equalling exactly the number of months he's banned for

What a mess. I have the feeling because of the $ outlay and his age and potential, the club might stick with him through the ban. Considering he's definitely screwed us over there is the temptation to bin him and sue for whatever legal recourse possible? Real shame like. Not cool Sandro, not cool.

Oh dear, I thought he had just started looking decent and getting those fitness levels up. Going to be interesting to see what the club says.

Aye I give Gloom a lot of credit here. It would have been very easy to lash out at the discourse considering what he has at stake.

Yeah I agree with Renton and Rayvin on this one. I think from the off we all knew nobody's really going to change their minds based on what will be said here. Although of course it's always good, and often illumniating, to hear the other point of view. In part we're venting I suppose and in part trying a tiny bit to raise awareness which may not count for shite in the end but I feel it's better than completely burying your head in the sand.
