OTF

This definitely changes the feeling for the next week and a bit leading into the end of the window. A few players in and it's like a reboot with some positivity around the place and the potential for some dry/clean sheets.

Curious that....

The more I see that free-kick the more I like it. Jonjo knows that although Meslier is set up near the back post he's going to head to the near post as the ball is struck.

Fraser. Remember that he has to take 1.5 steps for every average grown-up step.

Fuck yes!!!!!!@@@!!@@!@#^#%@%%!$$@$!

This ref has it in for ASM.

Actual very good interplay ASM.

The curious case of Sean Longstaff

Such a lazy pass ASM

Absolutely text book.

Fuck, Fraser crocked now.

That's a penalty, doesn't matter that it's soft. He's kicked his foot miles and miles from the ball. Baffling.

Alright lads, time to panic.

Oooooh yes!

Was it a cross?

Ryan Fraser is having a good game, nice little passage there.

He didn't follow Raphinha's run at all there. Cometh the hour, cometh the man; Ciaran Clark.

It's embarrassing stuff.

How stretched is this game already... looking at the players out there this will not end well for us.

Thankfully Raphinha's done nothing once getting into space thus far. ASM yellow card for getting his shirt pulled. Meanwhile their player gets the same punishment for leading with the knee into our keeper's legs after he's already passed the ball.

That run through the middle by Willock was like watching a baby deer taking its first steps.

It's just that the beep test for Longstaff is checking whether he has a pulse.

Warmer. The ones of those still alive that is.

Give them 15 to 20 first and possibly shift Longstaff for Gayle if Willock is still running.

I reckon we've probably had one or two others in the last 50 years.
