Kid Dynamite

Ashworth's "buying young" model hasn't exactly been a roaring success has it? Minteh looks alright, but Kuol looks fucking hopeless from what I've seen. Hopefully this kid from City bucks the trend

Didn't realise this was Lee Clark's son

£19mil over 3 seasons. Everton argued it was £7.9mil. Apparently they hoped to sell Richarlison for £60mil to break even but only got £40mil on the books. There was a formula discussed to come up with the points deduction but it got scrapped apparently "The Premier League has no such published guidelines, but its chief executive Richard Masters told the panel, in his witness testimony, that the league came up with a sanctions policy at the start of this season that uses a starting position of minus six points, with an additional point docked for every £5million over the limit."

They were only marginally over the FFP limit iirc. If we ended up £300mil over I reckon we would get much more than a 6pt punishment

A lot of talk on Twitter about Minteh being Almiron's replacement because he's scored a few goals this season. Had a quick look on the Feyenoord forum this morning and the consensus seems to be he's fast/tricky, but has zero positional or tactical awareness. Sounds like he's a long way off being PL ready

And that's just on here!

The dropped points in winnable games (not necessarily today) is starting to catch up with us. From pushing for 6th last month to potentially 11th when the 3 teams below us play their games in hand

Its swings and roundabouts. He might shore up the defence at corners, but he's almost guaranteed to concede a goal on the break once every game in recent weeks

Blown away in the first half. Even contest in the second half, bar a Saka wonder goal and a poor goal to concede from a corner. No shame in losing to Arsenal away, but our defence is all over the shop these days. Botman and Shar look like different players

After getting murdlerised on the break again unfortunately. Today has shown we do lose elements of our game when he doesn't play, but on balance I prefer Tino there

Karius much quicker off his line than Dubravka. He's had a good game

Let's get another one

Shove your clean sheet up your arse

I mean Bruno looked lost today, so I'm giving Tino a free pass here

I hope dickheads don't chuck Tino under the bus after this. Would have been kinder of Howe to give him a proper go against Bournemouth and Forest rather than away to Arsenal

Nah. 19 other teams manage without a 6"7 player on the front post. Our corner defending had been awful today

Can we not stick someone taller on the front post?

Alreet captain sensible. Are we not allowed to have a moan mid way through a humping now?

If we can get a flukey goal they will start sitting in

We are 4-0 down already with Saka vs Burn

Botman again 🤯

Fuck off man. Gave over already

He completely missed the clearance prior to kneeing it in
