OTF

You're right. Michael Owen gets plenty of punditry work.

The great thing is that Bruce has less than no appeal as a pundit as he's thick and uninteresting so we'll not likely to have to see or hear him in that capacity. I'd be shocked to see him manage again at any level as his record speaks for itself and his attitude after each job ended through his own incompetence has been petulance on the level of a four year old.

Well that's ruined the plot for me. Spoiler tags thanks.

Yeah, this was good, the slow build is done well.

Also

Told you bunch of bed wetters that it was not serious. You can't play on like he did with ligament damage and/or a break.

Good to see your shift key is now in order

Everyone in the team looks strong (with the exception of Murphy), Miggy impressed me with the way he held off a couple of players on a run where he previously would have either lost it or gone to ground looking for a FK.

He was pretty good again, drove forward when on the ball pressuring the defense and linked up well with those around him.

Yes to all of this, plus good for Maxi to have a longer run out and have a decent impact. Still doesn't get the pressing part right but that will only improve based on time on the pitch. Isak has that ability on the ball to make it seem like he is slowing things down before bursting back into movement.

I can't see him being out for the season with how the injury transpired and the fact thay he played on. I'm hopeful he plays the second leg of the League Cup.

If he doesn't hit his own foot Pope saves that. I'm still annoyed that is was a penalty, the VAR is honestly pathetically implemented.

We were the better team but a definite feeling of relief picking up the three points there. Comedy gold from wor Mitro. I hope Rafa was watching.

It's never disengaged.

Debacle on the sidelines, over precisely whatvI have no idea. Perhaps shock that Chris Wood is coming on.

5 is not long given everything that has transpired this half.

Great little touch Wilson, fantastic for Isak to score.

Fuck yessssss

Hahaha that's fucking hilarious.

Rubbish decision. He trod on Trippiers foot then went down as soft as anything.

But much improved from his last game, so that sharpness is coming back.

I guess we'll only know the extent of Bruno's ankle damage once he cools down. The fact that it didn't blow up immediately is a good sign and he was moving seemingly freely, but obviously not without pain!

Butv o serious damage done i.e. ligaments are ok, you don't play on at all in that scenario.

Loving our movement, they're starting to just watch rather than track...

Looks good thankfully.
