watched some reacher on the treadmill today and i do love that we have a whole franchise whose central premise is “what if a man were really big”

For those blaming Onana, what else do you think he could have done? He dove, almost finger-tip save and best he could do was push it away which he did. What more did you expect from him?

Onana
Dalot MDL Maguire Maz Dorgu
Casemiro Eriksen
Bruno Garnacho
Hojlund

Not the most mobile midfield but don't see any other way around it unless Zirkzee starts as a 10 and Bruno plays alongside Case, instead of Eriksen.

All here for the Chelsea fans meltdown. Spent £2 bn to have a threadbare squad and also take Sancho off our hands (just sad we didn't milk more out of them). Those 9 yr contracts will really come in handy in the future.

This season is officially done for. Instead of doing last minute panic buys that helps no one, let Chido, Kukonki, Heaven etc. have a go in the first team. Plan for an immaculate summer removing all deadwood and bringing in a 10, MF, LCB and CF if possible.

Maguire booked while Hughes walks away after that challenge. Who even certifies theses referees?

Reasons why we should steer clear of Tel. Doesn't offer anything even marginally better than any options we have (either as a 10 or as a CF). If we are going for a loan, might as well go for a CF. Why didn't we try a loan move for Ferguson? Might have converted the Mainoo chance today!

Watching Newcastle United play reminds me the way Atletico Madrid usually play. Less concerned with playing football and more concerned about fouling their opponents by any means necessary.

Not able to watch the game. How are we doing? And what's with the formation? Who are the 10s? Is it Eriksen and Bruno?

Already dreaming of a Heaven and Kukonki partnership in the back 3!

Collyer might just have added 2 more points to our result today

Great goal. Big deflection. But what on earth was that celebration from Licha? 😂

Difference in positioning by Zirkzee and Hojlund is worlds apart. Zirkzee always finds space to receive the ball while Hojlund is always wrestling with a CB. How can you have 2 strikers so different and not learn or help each other improving your game?

Choppping and changing positions by Amorim isn't helping players. Amad looks unsettled shuffling from WB to IF every other game. Bruno also looking shaky in the midfield. No creative threat. Hope we turn up in the 2nd half.

Garnacho playing like he has a point to prove. Excellent feet to get past his man.

He would have been an ideal signing and a replacement for an aging Bruno who will turn 31 this year. And he is a Manchester United fan. Him going to Arsenal is just rubbing salt into the wound.

Licha as WB solves so many of our problems. Great passer, crosser, decent carrier. Also wouldn't have the problem of dealing with high-balls as a CB. Only problem is our lack of options at CB. Hard to pick if we shift him to WB and get a left-footed CB this summer or keep him at CB and get a new WB.
