Go for broke. Buy a few cheaper players with potential, sell for profit. Reinvest wisely. Simple as that

His leadership is clearly respected when you see what Kristiansen has said in his thread. He's got more respect than I think Cooper ever had. I hope that continues to show as time progresses. It can only garner positive outcomes having a strong leader in place.

And then given a second yellow for the late foul on Soumare.

Loved some of his close footwork and being able to spot a pass across the other side of the pitch. He's so confident on the ball and for a 20y/o he's ridiculously intelligent. Give him better wingers to play with and we'd be cooking.

Yep, I don't get it either. How have so many people learnt to hog the middle lane, too? There should be more said about it.

Sneak a win. Only if the same starting XI at yesterday plays.

Middle lane hoggers on the motorway.

Quite clearly his confidence is affected and the lack of an alternative option has worked against him. That pass he gave back to Coady is just basic but he's messed that up. And trying audacious crosses like Alexander-Arnold does is just naive. Needs a break out the team indeed. He's not offering anything worthwhile to the team currently.

I don't believe that for a second.

Build the team around him.

BEK is older by 1 year.

What's happened to Aberdeen?

Fvcking Seagrave!!!

Why does Arnold not get booked for that?

He's doing well! Having Winks next to him definitely helps. He seems a lot more confident on the ball these days, and doesn't lose possession as regularly as he used to.

Apart from the 2 he smashed straight out of play at the start of each half I haven't seen it back but I was hoping with the save he'd have pushed it further out wide but that'd be being pedantic. He is already a much better keeper than Ward.

How did KDB not get booked?

He's superb along with Facundo.

Also, think I've seen enough to believe we might be okay but as long as we put in the same amount of effort. Chances will come and we're not going to play against players like Haaland, Foden and Savinho all the time. Improve the full back situation and hopefully that'll bring more confidence to the defence.

Definitely. Can already see his impact on the side with games like today. Just need to replicate it in winnable games and hopefully with some reinforcements.

Facundo and Bilal have to keep playing together. They'll be the key in most matches as they have so much passion and energy and quality on the ball. Fully believe as well if Vardy takes that chance we go on to win as opposed to Haaland going the other end and killing the game.

I know they've lost today but didn't realise the Owls were so high up. QPR on very good form too!

So refreshing not to see a player that has stunk out the place for a few years. Hopefully been banned from the stadium.

Wow, SA pull the win out of the bag Rabada holding out with Jansen at the end.

Big convincing win for Pakistan in SA. Edit: not yet!
