Almost like we haven’t played in 3 weeks

Micheal Keane ladies and gentlemen.

Well that’s a strange line up. We have the personal to go 433 or a 442 but this can only be a wingback formation with no left footed wingback… except the one on the bench who is 1000x more suited to being a wingback than a full back.

Merry Christmas to everyone from Aus. Hope everyone is well and can enjoy the day despite the crazy times we are in! Stay safe and lots of love

I’m only having some fun! I hope he gets a good run of games so we can have a look at what he can do. Certainly looks promising though.

Was watching this game and couldn’t believe it. Such a bad tackle

You mean a mistake prone defender who can only play in a deep block?

Great game between Leicester and Liverpool. Must say liverpool should be glad there’s no VAR as they have put some very average tackles in. Maddley is a horrible ref as well

Great interview that and He really shows some maturity there. Hope he gets a run - even with Dobbin next to him.

Hahah sorry mate I just seen the pun this one at the top! I’ll see myself out

Well he has because when he’s been fit for 5-6 games he starts. I’m just saying I’m a big big fan of Mina as a player but we need to get what ever funds we can get for him. Also I would play Branthwaite over Mina now. Ever present yes give him credit for that but consistent? The only consistent thing about him his he’s decent for 3 games and then proper average ( being kind ) for 6. I think I’ve made my stance on Keane pretty clear since he’s been here.

I wouldn’t sell Simms or Allan. This window though we should be aggressive on pre contracts for next season. CB Alessio Romagnoli RB Noussair mazraoui CM Boubacar Kamara or Dennis Zakaria If we have money now though and can get Noussair mazraoui in this window it would help us the most.

Personally I’d move Mina on if we get anything over £15 million and give move time Branthwaite this season. Godfrey needs more time at CB to iron out his game. This window we should be offering Alessio Romagnoli pre contract because that would be a huge addition in my opinion. In the summer I would be trying to shift Micheal Keane and I think the likes of Newcastle, Watford, Burnley and co who play a deep defensive block would be interested in him. Next season - Starters:Ben Godfrey/Alessio Romagnoli Backups: Holgate/Branthwaite 2 left footed CB’s and 2 right footed - Would look to move Holgate on the following season if no improvements.

But when asked to help out as a wing back complained it was too much running. Has to be moved on

I thought in the moments we got the ball near enough to him he looked after it well. Absolutely did no worse than Rondon.

He is an absolute star in the making. Would be delighted if we got him but can’t see it

I get the attraction of that but Digne is mostly effective on the overlap - he hasn’t got the pace to beat a man and whip a ball in. We just don’t utilise his talents.

You get my point though

He is mediocre as can be, has a decent few games and everyone forgets the shit patch. There’s a good reason no clubs above us have looked at him. There’s also very little chance he plays for England again in my opinion.

If Keane is our starting centre back for the next 3 season we will stay mid table.

Gordon put in a massive shift. Iwobi was just Iwobi but I do agree about Dobbin and Gordon. Dobbin looks a real live wire. They should all be proud of themselves

Our “first” team probably gets rolled by Chelsea. Youngsters impressed and the “first” team players have to be on notice now.

Went Pickford as he was outstanding. Gordon though really stood up, it’s like he took on an extra mantle with some younger players starting and he was brilliant. Branthwaite starts the next game no doubt for me. Left footed centre backs are a dime a dozen and he looked so composed.

Everyone of those youngsters deserve a run. Gordon was very good. Can’t believe we got a point there

Doucoure pressing around our box then was insane. He is just a machine
