Wissa is dead man, read between the lines.

LeazesMag would have a field day with this BIKE RIDING WINDMILL LOVING CLOG WEARING COWARD!

That was a glorious pass by Wirtz though! Nothing came from it, but ASM would have been proud.

Missing out on Ekitike is a bigger loss than Isak being sold.

You wouldn't want to be a packet of crisps in that meeting.

I think it's as simple as the return from injury combined with Howe wanting to play Burn whilst still blooding the Botman and Thiaw combination.

Can see why it's important for us to begin to change the way we play with Woltemade in the team, more possession and less out and out counters. We can still utilise the pace of Gordon and Elanga with Woltemade's range of passing and him dropping deep brings the centre back(s) out to create space in behind. We can still maintain our high tempo pressing outside of possession.

Just what we needed. Brilliant.

Burn, Botman, Schär and Thiaw all on at once.

@Dazzler credit where it's due, you nailed the thread and the title. I was wrong.

Piss easy hollywood save. Osula feeds Barnes! Lovely

Woltemade would have found Barnes' run

Shame to take Nick off but with no other senior central forward option he needs to be protected.

It's very obviously a handball that. Had loads of time to move his arm. Gordon with a duplicate pen.

Another pen it seems...

It'd be good to get Hall out there some time soon.

Looking forward to the Woltemade highlight reel from this match.

He'd definitely pass on that offer.

Great half that. Love seeing the ball go through BDN who you'd love to have on your team as a player as you know he will see your run and feed you unselfishly.

Ref watch update: he's OK again. GORDON!

Who takes our pens now?

And even if he doesn't his vision, control and passing looks great.
