League cup is least important competition for us this season so points against Bournemouth please.
However if we manage to beat Chelsea at their place with a 3rd string 11 I would not complain
Dunk gives a min 8/10 performance every week and he is so consistent you completely take the levels of his performance for granted. Also plays an astonishing amount of games so the squad and fans are just not used to him not being available.
Result and soaking aside must add the positive that following the earlier season breakthrough of sausage rolls finally making available in WSU we also now have self pour beer machines.
lacked a focal point up front and think it should have been Fati or Pedro behind Wellbeck as both lacked cohesion and were occupying the same spaces. Our centre backs and a snail paced Milner were schooled by an aggressive and direct attack from AEK and the Pervis/Mitoma combo was off its usual...
Remember when we played La Harve in a pre season friendly thinking that would be as close to a European adventure as we would get now in the Europa league against some of the biggest names in European football. It’s an astonishing rags to riches story and the best part is I don’t think it has...
I think without the Europa league we would be a top 4 side this season but will be hard to maintain this level of consistency and quality as the number of games now ramp significantly. Whatever happens just savouring every minute we are in dreamland at the moment
I think this guy is going to reach levels even beyond what we see with mitoma he is that good. With the rotation this season should keep him off the big club radar meaning we will get a good couple of seasons at least with us as well so we can watch him turn into a real star
Too many ex top pros fast tracked to PL managerial hot seats and most end in disaster so no don’t think we will take this route. Also we do not need to take that sort of gamble as the current profile of the club will attract some top talent for the vacancy whenever it arrives.
Should have made it a 2 year shirt and could have used it in Europe next season as well. Although anyone who went with the Europa league badges will be regretting not waiting for the champions league ones.
When are we going to wear this shirt other than Athens? Surely it’s a clash for Marseille and arguably Ajax as well. Unless we are wearing this for the home matches?
Thought they were a bit meh until went 3-0 down when they went into the typical self deprecating day out mode. Fair play to them for showing the team their support but was really only the first and last 10 min made any noise of note
Our attacking options are now outrageous and probably one of the best in the league how RDZ picks 4 from that 10 is going to be interesting!
Midfield again last season probably one of the strongest double pivots in the league so hard to replace but Gilmour has really stepped up and we now have...
