We need to drop Joelinton into DM too. Bruno's through balls are too good to have him doing the donkey work all game 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13872]

Genuinely quite excited about adding Gordon’s pace and shithousery to that mix. They’ve put me in a good mood

Isak yes, but ASM doesn't have the defensive instinct from what we've seen. I suppose it depends a lot on how they set up.

The home game should be about taking it to them from the word go. There’s no chance they’ll press like they did tonight up here

90 minutes away from a cup final and we're well in the driving seat - who would have thought a year or so ago. Brilliant stuff   

[trophyshy 7083]

Leaving Isak and ASM on the bench I do understand. It’s like saving your best cowie  until 3am, you know you’ve got something special in reserve.

Absolutely. We're a different side with that setup. Bruno needs to be unlocking defences.

Will Bruce get the credit though?

Exactly. They will go into it on low spirits anyway. If we score early then the game will be settled

Subs came 10 minutes too late. Wilson can shake his head all he likes, he’s not been at the races 

 

The sum total of Fuck All. Aye let's play the loyalty game.

[Chaser 1207]

Isak must start next match, Wilson has been really poor these last few games and doesn't deserve to be kept in. He needs to find whatever he's suddenly lost. We can't have passengers out of loyalty when it's clearly not just a lack of confidence, he's short of fitness. 

 

ASM is showing improvements with each game. Only issue is the lack of tracking back in lieu of Willock.

No.

2.92 vs 1.12 xG. Knacked them. 

 

If we could start putting chances away, we'd all breathe a lot easier.

i don’t think it’s as much of a concern with Joelinton mopping up behind him

He was phenomenal in the run up to the WC (despite illness issues). He was desperate to be a part of it. Is that what’s going on?

How are things on Wearside? I'm assuming we're the luckiest team in the entire galaxy?

What a charming beautiful sexy man Bruno is

Dunno what is wrong with Wilson but he's a yard of the pace in thought as well as in effort, shadow of his former self.

I was trying to think who Isak reminded me of. And the way he kind of floats about and that lovely first touch where it looks easy and it came to me -  Kluivert 

 

I was having the same struggle, but it wasn't Kluivert...

I ws saying the same earlier. Southgate gave him the One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest treatment in Qatar.
