Or against the better sides alternating with another 6. 2defensive pivots both with the ability to receive the ball and control the pace of the game as well as ability to burst forward. He can see a line breaking pass though whether apart from Isak we have the quality of movement up front is a slightly different thing.

Maybe medium term have him playing as a 6 in front of the defence as he can playmaker and have Bruno playing as an 8. He was very good yesterday, and looks like he’s improving game on game….

Great last 20 mins from us. Thought hall was very good. Kudus would do a job at rw for us. He’s a proper player.

One, he means, I mean he must have something on Southgate…. He’s awful as a player

My 2 penneth. Once the champions league games were underway we were playing 2 v difficult games a week for a while. The team was on its knees because of accumulated fatigue and lack of meaningful squad depth. The style of our team means fitness first is the way to go but the team has literally run itself into the ground. Our tactics as well and howes willingness to stick with players out of form or injured means we’ve had next to no rhythm and his decision making is getting more odd as the season goes on. I think if we’d have got a non European slot last season we’d have finished higher this season.. also our players do seem to get injured more than most other teams… maybe we’ve just had a duff season!

Them and Burnley totally out of their depth. The thing is of the promoted sides next year, I can’t see any of them bouncing back down either…. The chasm between top flight and championship is getting bigger.

For 6 years.

Basically impossible shoes to fill. Moyes ain’t a bad coach, but never an elite top coach.

Been shit for years.

Chiesa is a risk As he had a pretty bad injury, though when he was fit he was well worth watching out for. . Is rabiot available on a free? Think he’s out of contract. Could be useful?

Florentines centre mid Amrabaat I think… top player. that was pretty rubbish.

Puskas

Kim won’t leave Napoli so soon. An absolute unit of a defender. medium term we do need to replace schar but probably need an upgrade….

Great squad addition, not long term first team solution.

Ward prowse doesn’t have the engine, strength or technique of any of our 3 in the middle. His free kicks and pens are excellent but we’d lose something if we stuck him in the first team. Agree with the others. Labuan is a big prospect, but a bit raw.

Big Sam to Leeds on probably a silly contract. Hope they and Everton go down. Not that I dislike Sean dyche, but because of how they run their club. Leeds have been awful this season. They just don’t look good at all. shame Chelsea can’t be relegated as well… fat frank has effectively killed his management career off with this job (though his track record was always poor).

Not really, just expressing an opinion poorly. you don’t want to go anywhere near my back garden. It needs napalming.

Yep, tierney is probably good enough, mctominay is shit, ward prowse can’t cover enough ground for what we want, though he’d be a good plan b for free kicks. Barnes is good enough. Him and Maddison would be very useful.

I think he stays. He had their full back on toast yesterday and set up numerous chances. He can consistently do this against the best full backs in the league. I think he’s moved from being our out ball under Bruce, to a player now that knows he can start a few yards further up the field, and his dribbling is still excellent. His final ball has also improved… getting him to press better might well be a step too far! the shame for me is that he knows he’s a “showreel” player. Look at his instagram for example.

Get in, great result.

He’s Swedish. Most swedes speak better English than English people, or at least the ones I know do.

Anything that tit says isn’t worth listening to.

Martin biased Tyler? Massive twat.

Nope, he carries next to no threat. Pep got ri of him because he’s a middle distance runner rather than a footballer. See also Theo Walcott. bot absurdly bad decision makers…..

Shaw is a very decent full back but the wrong age and on Man Utd wages.. he’d really suit the side with st max on the left but as others say too inconsistent for 20 games a season. having seen diaby play he would be a really big addition. As in end product wise. Maddison as well.
