was crying out for McAteer on the bench instead of Soumare today

there's an Okazaki vibe to having him behind Vardy letting Bounonotte play the Mahrez role wider, full of graft presses well, holds the ball up well and buys free kicks

I doubt he's on a mega contract when one of the reasons we ended up with Edouard instead of one of the other striker targets was the wage demands

the point being made was that Ayew was taking Minutes that Cannon could have gotten, Ayew is playing on the wing, and playing pretty well imo. Cannon had been poor for Stoke until the other night, hopefully in January he's scored so many goals we feel the need to recall him but up till now the decision to loan him out was the right one

I'd forget Evans ever played that season

I meant as first choice, I liked Amartey but Souttar looked levels above him even in the few games he played

still weird Smith didn't pick him again

I thought it was Rodgers that dropped him as I seem to remember wondering why he'd gone back to Amartey and Faes after buying him, the situation is just odd and sums up our transfer mess over recent years

it is a bit weird but he was dropped by the manager that signed him and the next 2 haven't fancied him either

funny that when you finally get the older players out on loan, hopefully one of them is in the squad at United in the cup

so you wanted Tom Cannon playing on the wing then?

no Petermann so far this season, hope its not another ACL

Good luck to her, hold over from previous regime so probably that's all there is to it. She did well in a tough spot last season

He was captain Vs Tranmere too

He didn't do much to impress Vs Walsall, not that anyone did except Bounonotte and towards the end Fatawu started to create. I'm bored of everything being Cooper's fault as well Ricardo is an experienced international footballer play the game that's in front of you if it's on to go further forward do so, Hamza was deep enough to cover

hopefully we see Alves and Golding start in the cup

which academy graduate should have played? Hamza? Luke Thomas? Iversen? We started El Khannouss and brought Bounonotte on so even if Alves had been on the bench its unlikely you use 3 number 10s in the same game

to an extent, but how much should a manager need to get you ready for a home game against a relegation rival that had lost all 4 previous games? You should be self motivated for a game like this, these aren't kids they are experienced pros. It would make me, as a manager question if they are the right people though

that quote was from he Palace game

loved seeing Kop get booked for time wasting then their own ball kid completely ignored the ref telling them to throw the ball to Kop

full time 1-1 a point away from home at Liverpool who will do well this season is a good start

1-1 Rantala

2 handed push in Howard's back just as she's about to jump not given and the player that pushed her gets a free header to score, cheers ref

think we are sitting a little too deep

Cayman seemingly the new captain then, I'd just assumed it'd be Tierney
