Chaser

I desperately want wood to score a couple of goals...he looked pissed off during his last cameo where he missed the sitter.

My TV is a couple of mins behind.

Willock looking real strong on the ball. Doing well.

Wilson clearly got wind of Toney's penchant for a flutter and contacted his mates at the Mail to investigate. He's going full shithouse to make sure Southgate has no one else to choose from

Kid is living his best life. Fair play to him.

Should be pulling out all the stops to get Tielemens and Maddison in. Perfect additions to midfield.

Wilson getting in on the love in. Someone send Ekitike a VHS of the season so far.

That game was a classic show of going through the gears. First half was so disjointed we couldn't get into a rhythm. Once Wilson scores the pen, the team seemed to just turn up the wick on Villa. I don't think we got into top gear but the play leading up to Woods miss late on was almost beautiful and would have put the cherry on top of the result. Can't wait to beat them again at their shitty place.

SAME OLD VILLA, ALWAYS BORING.

Brilliant this. Wilson for the hat trick. Wait til ASM comes on!

Need to get the crowd going now to lift the players. There's definitely more goals in this for us. Time to put these fuckers to bed.

Appalling referee. He needs to be spoken to at half time, absolutely ruining what we have had of a game.

Think they will be shitting themselves. 2 - 0.

I think that's been the key so far, the right characters. I accept that money is a deciding factor in changing clubs, I've done it myself in my career, but there has to be other push/pull factors to coming to our club. Hopefully the way we are setting up, playing attractive high press football is making some of our targets sit up and consider their options. Every one of our signings has made an impact. Karius and Wood are probably those who are feeling a bit left out but they will come into their own in a cup run this year with a bit of luck. Eddie seems keen to make sure the whole squad is involved in the project so I don't expect us to have the number of players that Chelsea or City have had.

Yeah our depth in the squad is there to see. Eddie has done wonders with the players who were already here, but to progress we are going to have to move on from them. I get the sense of ambition from the fans, but I hope the fanbase doesn't turn into a bunch of expectant arseholes the minute that we have a dip in form. It's been upward trajectory since the start of the year, and that can't last forever. We are better building this project slowly and getting in the right characters. If it's another 1 or 2 in come January then that'll be great.

Miggy is on fire.

Bruno bossing them so far. Winning 1st 2nd and 3rd ball.

Isn't Son a bogey player for us?

Pleased to see Willock start. Looked lively last week and adds a bit more strength in midfield over Murphy.

Son and Kane will turn up against us. Suspect it might be a 2-0 to them. Callum needs to find his shooting boots and the rest need to feed balls to him.

Will H from Steps do?

This 1000x. Have to say though, if we smash them I'll be over the fucking moon. Couldn't overstate the amount of misery I'd like to see from that lot.

Sounds excellent CT, glad you both enjoyed it. I think Eddie sticking with players that have come in and done well is a good thing for team morale. It means that there's no heirarchy, no one thinks they're second best and everyone has the opportunity to cement their place in the team. For all I don't have much faith in Murphy, I'm happy for the lad to get his chance if he's doing well and proving me wrong. He puts the effort in, I just think he either lacks confidence in the final 3rd, sometimes doesn't make the right choices either. He definitely has skill on the ball but I prefer the likes of Fraser as he's direct and isn't afraid of going for it. I can only hope that this gives us loads of confidence to turn Man Utd over, couldnt be a better time to play them.

He probably will be once everyone else is fit. He should however be taking this opportunity to show that he's good enough to play if they want to shift bruno deeper and he can take up the midfield role alongside the other Joe or pushing up as a no 10.

Willock needs to find his shooting boots again. It's bizarre how good he was in that loan spell, rightfully went off the boil when he was made permanent under Bruce ball but he said Eddie has really sorted him out. Well if he has, then he should be potting a few of these chances he's getting. He's a decent player, just needs to add goals again.
