How?

All Iwobi that. Absolutely great run to breeze past 3. James vision and Digne quality. DCL on the spot again

Could concede plenty as well though

Iwobi is ripping some great balls in.

Huge chance that.

Well there’s our defence doing what they do best. Fuck all

Great start. Need to make the most of it

I think Iwobi will be wide right. James as the right CM. Attacking team though. Just not sure with Godfrey at right back. If Holgate was deemed fit enough/ready for United then he should be starting this game after another 2 weeks of training so I think management made a fuck up against United.

Probably produced his best cameo against United so no issue for me here. Just has play forward and drive at their defence.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery

Feel sorry for the WBA keeper against Fernandes for that penalty. The way he runs up and stalls it’s almost impossible to stay on the line. Keepers already have such a little chance with pens.

I think Holgate, Mina and Keane have a better understanding of each other is my thinking. Mind you, I have nothing what so ever against Godfrey and look forward to seeing him at CB

I saw him in their last game against west ham. Looked it up and he’s started the last 5 games playing 90 mins

Absolutely. A Neres or similar player can play a variety of positions plus he is a proven in champions league ect.

No Coleman for this one and Gbamin still returning to fitness. Mina in and Holgate to RB for me. Just need him to lock down that right side and focus on defending. Primarily attack down the left with the James switch to Richy/Digne wing. Mina and Keane.... two big centre backs need to have Mitrovic under control. Mina especially - I understand some don’t rate him and I can see those points ( I don’t mind him so much ) however, this should be the situation he relishes and I expect him to be dominant. Midfield - Allan, Doucoure and Bernard with Bernard on the left of the three to allow Doucoure and to a lesser extent Allan to cover behind James ( Robinson is an attacking fullback ). Richarlison to occupy a second striker position/extra body in the box when Digne has width and Bernard to link up with him. I’ll be seriously concerned if Gylfi starts. No issue with a iwobi however as I thought he looked good when he came on against United. 3 points to get us rolling again.

Mate I understand that and agree. I’m saying 2 players out of a back 5 have been acceptable so far. I get they are a collective unit but I’ve been happy with their levels so far. Centre backs and goalkeeper have been suspect and need to shape up quickly. Think holgate will play RB as coleman is out for Fulham. Mina to come in and mark Mitrovic

Should be at least 3 years. Never been an athletic/pacey player so would hopefully play well into 30’s ( similar time David Silva ) Would hell James a lot though, “if” we have Europe next season I think it’s becoming increasingly obviously James won’t be playing 2/3 games a week consistently.

Absolutely ridiculous to be having them

Digne and Coleman have been good. Keane looks to have reverted to his pussy form. Mina is consistently inconsistent Holgate - promising, possibly lacks height/presence Godfrey - not a rb but looks promising physically.

Id hate for him to come here, do well and go somewhere else though. If the rumoured fee of £20/22 million is true i would hope we just pay that.

Yeah, I mean it’s a hot pass to give and Yerry could have have gotten it right into feet so I can some fault. Really not sure, was Columbia’s free kick played short and then that happened. Regardless, hopefully James comes back fresh, we need him firing!

Absolutely

James made more of an error for their second goal than Mina did in any. Think the first goal, Mina played a ball into the CDM who was under pressure and lost the ball, conceded from that.

How he stands over any dead ball at the moment is beyond me. James was dangerous with nearly every ball he put in those first few weeks, then it’s Digne.
