Ricky was a clear foul with no chance of getting the ball didn’t deserve a yellow though

I’m getting the same feeling from the u21 at Wigan …

Agree but JJ did a decent job in his place second half

They wouldn’t know the nuance of our total control on Saturday without watching the whole game or getting a report from someone else who was there. Highlight shows don’t give you that info

Unless you know the details of his contract I’m intrigued as to how you now this ???

I’m sure he will have an increase built in if we go back up.

Thinking back a few years, hamza was the main holding midfielder for an England U21 side that included foden and madders. Yes he let himself down with that red card v France but it shows that he must be technically able to carry the role at a high level. Enzo must feel that he can bring him back to those levels if we’ve offered him a new deal

But he’s right about Saturday as this was the first game that we’d managed to control for the whole 90 minutes with almost no chances for the opposition. Shows he’s watched us and he’s right about norwich because in that second half they deserved an equaliser. Across the whole 90 we were the better side but for half an hour in the second period we weren’t convincing when we lost control of the game. they do have 72 teams to follow but they obvs watch the sky game and one of them chose to watch us on Saturday afternoon

Jan 2025 those who will be swayed are not impressed with facts Ha - some would say that brexit had nothing to do with politics !

Most of those points seem reasonable (apart from effectively missing us out of the list of clubs on first one)

Core brexit vote was no higher than 35% imo that’s a significant 17% 7 years ago …..

There really are some people who won’t see much difference between the two parties but will lap up the tories painting Labour as soft on ‘illegal immigration’ if you dont believe me then explain brexit !

So many people being triggered by new govt policy ideas being flown and also ‘implemented’ it’s all politics ahead of the GE - they don’t need to believe it - they may well not. They know that they have to create some clear water between them and Labour. There is a proportion of their core support that will vote Labour if they can’t see any reason not to. There is a proportion of the middle ground that will respond positively to the new policies. welcome to the next general election - campaigning has begun

hamza who played inverted RB at norwic( last week ? Not disciplined enough. Our left back effectively becomes the right side of a three - that’s not fatawu!

Man U u21’s lost 8-1 at Bolton not just us then ….

You shouldn’t be particularly infectious (if at all) eight/nine days after symptoms started - quite common for you to show positive and not be infectious after a week

Would like to see the stats this season on injuries where players refuse treatment because of the 30 seconds rule

The scan probably needs expert interpretation from a consultant clearly there is a problem that isn’t going to heal quickly but whether it’s something that needs major surgery or not will need further assessment. hence the phrase - long time. enzo cares about is availability over the next month so he can plan workload. Once a player is out for more than that he will lose interest because it becomes someone else’s responsibility.

Main concern is his ability to play cross field balls with his left foot and aerial prowess coady can cover the air but isn’t left footed

It was Ricky pre covid v villa all first team ACL’s since then were stretchered off (is that only JJ ? ) not sure about the U21’s who’ve had a lot of them

If it’s an ACL then I wonder if he’d go back to Man City for his op and rehab as he wouldn’t play again for us I would expect that they would, want to be in control (and our insurance company would too!)

Doyle’s scan was supposed to be yesterday unless the swelling increased markedly over the weekend we can expect an update from enzo in today’s presser

Barnes likely out for a few months

Didn’t mendy play in the CL last week ?

Hope not cos that only happens if we’re so deep in the muck that there’s no one else and he’s out of work
