Thor Darkworld was fairly shite tbh in comparison to their more recent stuff as was Iron Man 3 I don't mind the Spiderman franchise maybe that's the comic fan in me but I find them far more corny then anything else Sony or Marvel have put out that's why I'm looking forward to Venom with it being far darker

It's a Sony film who have the rights to the "Spider-Verse" and they don't do these films quite as well as Marvel do tbh Saying that I'm looking forward to Venom the CGI looks brilliant and Hardy is a great choice to cast as Brock

According to some being around the squad and having Premier League coaches around them then the odd cameo appearance is more beneficial than a loan..... The same goes for DCL neither are ready for this level

Anyone's look half decent Dunc? I would have liked to have seen how Bernard faired tbh

Put £3 at 150/1

Yep

Get in!

Watching the same games Bailey everyone has a different interpretation of it which isn'tt a bad thing... And I got your post but again I don't agree with it nor do I think you got what I was getting at but heyho He played behind him as he does the two mentioned who are far less disciplined moreso Davies as Sigurdsson is clearly the one who will be instructed to go forward more My point is split between the two as I've said he shouldn't do it at times but at other times he's going forward into space he shouldn't have to as well as it should be occupied by others who are equally to blame for bad positioning Anyway

A discovery of Witches Didn't think it would be for me tbh but watched it with the missus and enjoying it so far definitely much better than I expected

Didn't say he "needs" one the term goes hand in hand with giving another lad a go, it's better than saying drop Pickford for Virginia "why you dropping Pickford" The lads playing very well and has to be better then Stek who got the nod against Rotherham so I'd rather see this lad given a chance

Probably see something like this, would like to see Virginia tbh sounds like he's doing very well and Stek scares the shit out of me so if we do rest Pickford it makes sense to award the lads good performances Some of the other lads need minutes under their belts and an opportunity to show their worth so I'd expect a fair few changes, not what I'd pick but wouldn't be surprised if it's similar to that Virginia Kenny Keane Holgate Digne Gana Dowell Morgan Bernard Tosun Lookman

Just seen this, the top part is partly what in getting at re the balance of the side if McCarthy was fit and in the side or a Barry type as I've just said then that's fine but ATM it's risky Hopefully Gomes can fill that void and at greater odds McCarthy can come back and be the player he was

Again we'll agree to disagree, read what I said properly rather than take parts of it How can it have nothing to do with other players if that was the case he would be occupying the same space as Davies or Sigurdsson which would mean they aren't in their positions either Obviously it isn'tt always the case as I've said "at times" but for the most part Davies and Morgan are either static or running around like headless chickens Davies went missing in the Arsenal game and made a handful of decent forward passes against Fulham bar that he was onymous, I'm not totally dismissing the lad as he did have brief moments but for the most part he miss places passes or runs into players he did it multiple times yesterday and Morgan has been as we know shite If he kept his position like you say he has we wouldn't have the gapping holes at the back on the counter as he'd have covered for Gana It's no coincidence he didn't make those runs as often when he had a player Infront of him like Barry who is the type of player I previously referred to and Barkley was the Sigurdsson type then In a nutshell he makes those runs which he shouldn't as often or shouldn't have to as we don't have a properly balanced it's partly his fault don't get me wrong but if the above were addressed he wouldn't have to

Gana is brilliant at what he's supposed to do tackle intercept then play it simple He does at times get caught out of position but I do think that's partially down to having either Morgan or Davies by him who both are equally headless chickens and out of position at times Neither drive the ball forward well or offer much else so he seems to take the mantle at times which he shouldn't do/have to If we had Sigurdsson Infront of him with (hopefully Gomes) a more positionally aware player that could be the interlink between Gana and Sigurdsson/forwards then our shape would hold much better and he could just sit back collect the ball and move it on Either way the positives of his game far outway the negatives

Maddison will be key for them if he's played centrally which I think he will be Puel will have seen how open we are on the counter and Maddison will dictate the change in play and play through balls to Vardy for fun if we don't tighten up Missed a trick with that lad albeit he's apparently a bellend off the field, he'd have been great next to Sigurdsson Pickford Kenny Keane Zouma Digne Gana Sigurdsson Bernard Walcott Richarlison Tosun DCL isn'tt clinical enough and isn'tt ready for me personally does some good things but lacks when it matters and hopefully the goal will give Tosun the lift he's needed Bernard for Davies he's a far better player its that simple really and his experience with keeping our shape etc could be vital, Gana to sit back and do what he's good at brake up play and give it simple Tough game really as they are very similar to us ability wise

Going to pre order Red Dead Redemption 2 & Darksiders 3 If anything like their predecessors there's some serious gaming time between them

Forgot to mention Kenny he did have another good game I think he'll become a very good long term replacement for Coleman he's looking better each game

Gana for his all round play but nearly went with Sigurdsson for his goals and Zouma and Digne were great as well Great stuff second half

Apparently not as bad as first thought and has suffered a "minor" set back, what that set back is hasn't yet been officially stated but it's apparently not a metatarsal break.... hopefully I've not much concern on Mina as much as I want him to play we have options it's Gomes that has me scratching my head as to why we've brought him in so far off being fit and ready

Southall Stevens Baines Arteta Rooney

I've said this previously he needs a foil I don't think he's close to being ready for this level tbh and no fault of his own he's been thrown in when he's not ready and it's piss poor man management tbh Should have been bought then loaned to a willing and decent championship side for a couple of seasons He has some good attributes but he'll never get that finishing touch and instinct playing against top level defender's with having little reaction time etc

I also agree with that though he does need to step up to the plate far more often, if he's given a slightly different role and still does that for the most part then it will be very telling

He needs to be played further back with some free reign Prior to coming here he was top of the pile for distance covered and making runs in many games and he can't do that here with the system we use and the players we have it's far to tight further up for us than he's previously had it He covers distance makes runs and can play the ball as well as anyone given the space and scores the vast majority of his goals running the ball to the edge of the box I'd try him centrally and get him to pick the ball up from Gana and go from there, he's more positive and has more about his game than both Davies and Morgan

I was tempted Shukes but I don't think he'll be put in until the Southampton cup game and I do think Keane will start to come good imo

Pickford Kenny Keane Zouma Digne Gana Sigurdsson Bernard Walcott Richarlison Tosun
