[Albion] Mcallister get your arse back here

[Swansman]

I see where you’re going with that but Arsenal are one of those teams our style suits. We’ve got a very decent record against them.

Everton will be playing desperate, scrappy football on the break - just what we’re bad at

That is true.

But I think Arsenal being dirty good and Everton fecking shite kind of still makes a win against Everton more likely.

FFS. The club gave him two weeks' leave, the club told everyone he had two weeks' leave and the club have planned for him being away for two weeks!

The bloke's just possibly had the highlight of his career ever and certainly so far. He needs to be managed back gently into the Premier League routine. The club preventing him from enjoying his moment just coz some entitled fan is having a paddy on the internet is laughable.

So I'll just mark you down as 'maybe', ok?

And Maupay is guaranteed to score at least 1

Stockdale still gets the blame when we should have scored more than one goal. Baldock had a gilt edged chance. Besides, Grealish always scores against us.

yes , they bought him on for 15 minutes and he turned the game around , probably why we find him generally distasteful.

What a miserable bunch of sods showing themselves up on this thread! If you're getting "annoyed" about him enjoying celebrations of winning the World Cup then you maybe need to ask yourself a question about the content of your own life.

Completely agree. I do think though that this is just another thing that highlights the impact this winter world cup is going to have on the Premier league. I think we have been a little bit forward thinking here, some of the players who have come straight back from Qatar must suffer some burnout towards the end of the season. Christmas normally sees the halfway point in the Premier league, but before boxing day we had 24 games left, plus FA Cup. Not saying the Premier league should have had special consideration, it just is what it is. So I would hope we see some benefit from this break later in the season.

OP fishing perhaps but he will need to settle back into training once he does rejoin the squad.

Two weeks leave after the final should see him return the 1st/2nd Jan but that's a long haul flight and leaves no time before the trip to Everton. Liverpool is when I'd expect to see him play, the club will no doubt celebrate his return with training photos across social media.

 

[hart's shirt]

You've had your time celebrating, it's abt time you were here now. Bloody annoying now

Alexander Armstrong:

"That's a Pointless answer, well done.

Richard, what else could he have had?"


Richard Osman:

"Another Pointless answer was "you've let yourself down, you've let your family down and you've let the Albion down."

You could've also had "go and sit on the naughty step and think about what you've done."

Either way, very well played."

Goal keeping error regardless, it wasn’t even a decent strike.

Who knows, he might want to get back playing, might have seen Caicedo’s booking and be keen to get back to help his team mates. I’m not expecting to see him Saturday, and don’t begrudge him his break, but also wouldn’t be altogether surprised if we did.

Gilmour deserves a chance. Mac deserves a break.

 

[cjd]

I see that Mbappe played in the league for PSG last night and scoring the winning goal.

He also played in the WC Final and despite scoring three goals, was on the losing side. If anyone was going to need two weeks off from football, I would have thought it would be him.

I guess the Director of Football at Paris St Germain gave him a shorter break.

If Gilmore deserves a chance he should have come on around 75-80mins Monday for Caicedo, saved his booking and we wouldn’t be talking about MacA.

No Messi playing though.

That's the difference between winning and losing. Argentina have been on a massive piss up in a time zone five hours behind where they won the game. I imagine Mbappe was on the first flight out of Doha the day after the final.

Apparently they did give him a long break but he didn’t take it.

I think there’s also a big difference between losing and winning. Mbappe may also have had a two week holiday of he’d won and been doing massive celebrations for ages.

RDZ made a mistake there.

Quite the opposite. A loser, what does he have to celebrate and tour about for? Mac Allister would have milked this for what it's worth. Mbappe would want to put it behind him asap and move on.

He is probably still pissed in some Argentine Tango bar
