I get what you're saying, but I think there's a way to play with a 6 and maintain the high press. If you've got 5 more attack minded players, 2 attacking fullbacks, a sweeper keeper and a mobile number 6, you can push high up so the 6 is doing his work closer to the centre circle. There he can cover the marauding fullbacks, help break up attacks, protect the centrebacks and start counters.

Why, in the world, would promising South American talents move to the Saudi League? The standard over there is terrible, so their progress would be stymied.

The only reason we switch to 3 at the back in attack is because we don't have the defensive cover that a DM would give. Get a DM and we could play with 2 attacking fullbacks.

The Independent's twitter account had a live feed of Buckingham palace running last night. What were they expecting to happen?

Thing is when Tino comes on he looks mint because he's doing the stuff that gets your attention; bombing forward, big tackles etc. He may not be quite there positionally, or tactically. We'll see

I didn't take it that way at all. But I guess my masculinity is a little less fragile.

I liked it, I thought it was funny and just the right amount of weird, the Mrs loved it.

It's not for you.

Yeah. What's the matter? Too woke for you?

CT doesn't feel like he's Kenough?

Barbie was quality. What was your problem with it?

that's my vote.

They are pretty confident. Matchday 24 - Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United. Saturday 10th February. Kick off 5-30pm. | LTLF Forest Forum

That sample includes only 5 games With games against Liverpool (a), Man City (h), Aston Villa (a). Across the season it reads; Goals conceded 12th Shots on target faced 16th Shots faced 15th xGA 18th Not great, admittedly, but there are obvious mitigating factors What about the other end of the pitch; Goals scored 5th Shots 8th Shots on target 6th xG 2nd All that ends up with 33pts, League pos 9th, currently 3pts off 6th. Pretty good when you can count the number of games we've had two fit strikers on one hand. And also the number of games with no fit strikers is greater than zero, which is suboptimal.

You know what, I don't often say this but, I was wrong and you're absolutely right. Right, off for a Dettol scrub. LATERZZZZ

Do you know what wouldn't help?

No shit

I know it's been done to death, but so many of our issues come down to who's available. Burn at LB with Joelinton and Pope in the team is a very different prospect than without them. Pope sweeping up would mean the pace of Luton's right winger is less dangerous and with Joelinton protecting that flank more the supply line would be choked. Burn does need swapping out because what he brings to the team is now less than he takes from it. No surprise that we look paggered after 3 games in 7 days because there's just no let up. Howe needs to make quicker changes to the side but anyone talking about getting rid is just overreacting to a bad result. This season can just fuck off to be honest. So can LTA

Howe. Took. Him. Off. Because. He. Was. Injured. Using whoscored measures does not give a full idea of his efficacy. You should stick to wanking over pirouettes and leave proper thinking to the big boys.

He's injured. You dullard.

Seen a few replies on twitter and on RTG saying they were where it happened and it wasn't racist. Now, I'm not saying their partisan support of their club has made liars of them, but their partisan support of their club has made fucking liars of them.

Look, 5am wake ups on a hangover can bring down the best of us. Let me get my coffee down me and we'll try again We're only 3pts behind them, with a much better goal difference.

Dunno if I'm confident that we'll finish above them comme May. But we're above them now despite having a squad that's being chipped away by the Squid Games . If the returning players can remain fit for the run in and our form improves, there's no reason we can't finish above Man Utd. Also, we don't meet Man City or Liverpool again, they do.

They are bad and should feel bad
