McBain

He signed Mac. New contract might be incoming

He was very good.

I thought he corrected his performance in the last 20 minutes before the sub

Possible match winner but played terrible

I think they've conceded in the second half of every game this season

But dogs love me

The next time I hear or see someone talk about how the opposition will be tired because they played midweek I'm gonna slap them with a fish

Probably Salmonella or possibly panda virus

It's pretty strong. Robbo on the bench though

Koumas striker, Gakpo wide right

Ditching Tsimikas from the squad is an excellent decision.

He started for the u21s yesterday so won't be starting this I don't think. Or is that what you meant by out?

f***s sake I'm hitting refresh every 30 seconds here

I get your point but we did win a league with him playing there, because he had the correct balance around him and they were in form August through February There's never been a point where I want him playing where he is. The longer the manager sticks with him there the more worried I'll be. Yes this has been a problem with recruitment, and I hope Iraola was against everything that happened, despite that being a problem in itself. But he has to make the best of what he's been given and he's not doing that yet. It's really early days but this has got to be fixed straight away

Worst of a bad bunch. If Kerkez hasn't had an amputation, get him the f*** on

Reminded me of Spurs and that's a good memory. I'm fully into the recovery arc he's on. Head shave, return to form. Showing everyone he's not finished yet

He's a black French centre back. So we compare him to the previous black French centre back. It's an inherent thing football fans do. Not intentionally, nor is it a racism. When a young black French or African centre mid has broken through in the last 20 years he gets compared to Vieira. If he profiles more like Manu Petit he'll still get the Vieira comparison first

Yea I liked Frimpong last night. We need to keep him involved. The club committed to him in the summer and we're gonna need him loads this season.

There's one big reason that he doesn't play like a 20 year old

Wirtz was excellent I thought. Grav though. That was such a weird performance. It felt like maybe he was trying too hard to impress because he's lost his place. The best thing he could have done was simplify everything. That was what we needed but that's not what he did

Wirtz man of the match

Yep. And it was our performance that cost us two points, not the ref

Aye. More important to buy an 18 year old goalkeeper for 30 million and send him on loan. Somebody should mention one day that all these inside stories about how great they are have the opposite effect

Reminds me of Say Anything but I think that was a Toshiba
