Wilf was a centre back until he was about 17/18 I think (probably explains his range of passing ) Did either of them pick up a knock in the Watford match? I would imagine Wes in particular has played through niggles before

442 just didn’t work for me. Iheanacho can’t play the deeper role and I thought we looked much better when Okazaki came on and linked up with the midfield better. People complained about Silva passing side wards but the forward pass was rarely on with 4v4in the middle and vardy and iheanacho square. We need a more creative central player, which only Maddison really offers and he’s not quite ‘there’ yet.

One lovely disguised left footed drilled pass out to Simpson (who unfortunately couldn’t control it) tonight

If he can harness their attacking talent whilst fixing their defence they'll do well this season. However their defence has been truly shocking so far

I say let them have their European super league to launder the worlds dirty money with all the turgid debate panel shows debating pogba for hours.

This gets overlooked so often. Even when we won the title we one-nilled from the Etihad onwards (blasphemy I know). The only decent football after that we played was Swansea and Everton, we just had the momentum.

We have seasoned pros not getting anywhere near the 18 so there will undoubtedly be grumbling in the squad. King and Simpson (and Jakupovic) are still here, very connected to the very senior players (Morgan, Schmeichel) and probably the owners too. I would imagine a lot of the disgruntlement is coming from these fringe players who Puel obviously doesn’t want here. Last season we had Ulloa and Slimani in a similar position also.

Tbf Burnley should’ve had at least 1 of those decisions go their way. Their defending for the Bernardo goal was laughable

Chalobah came on to tighten the midfield. Maddison would have come on and defended the whole time which is hardly his skill set. People can criticise Nations League but both sides really wanted to win that and you could tell the loss really hurt Spain.

You’ve quoted two people who’ve been dead almost 40 years. You can also find that Cloughie quote which is in a similar vein - from a man who’s only contribution to the Premier League is to get relegated.

Incorrect

There used to be the exact same arguments about Watford and the Pozzos on here, give it 18 months and the next promoted club with underhand owners (tbh much like ours) will come along. Like The Bear has said most of the championship is trying to get that competitive edge, it’s just that they did it better. Even Bournemouth massively failed FFP when they came up and we generally saw them as a great miracle from league 2 journey.

Away at Newcastle? I know they’re in a bit of turmoil but away at St James’ is never an easy fixture

Barton claiming none of our youth players will make it in the first team on the night academy product Chilwell makes his England debut

Unrecognisable from the boy who couldn’t handle taking throw ins at Millwall in the cup, and that was only 18 months ago

Even if he wanted to run his contract down we’ve got him ‘til he’s 30

Would’ve thought a professional journalist would know the difference between bought and brought.

Most of the sides in this league do.

Benalouane was sent off against Burton in pre-season last year for a ridiculous tackle
