Absolutely the plan all along. Let's say we all agreed last summer to pay Mo 300k a week rather than him leaving on a free. Cost is 15.6 million Then we do what we did with Henderson. Low fee out of recognition of service and to allow Mo to get almost free transfer wages. Hendo went for 12m 3 years ago. Let's call it 16m for Mo. Basically we'll have had Mo for free for his final season (this one), which is a fair price at the moment for his contribution. (despite the snide but only playful dig at the end, I've no doubt the extension was for one more actual season, not two)

The boss is not operating a meritocracy at the minute and it's really hurting us. Really want him to shake it up. Play Grav at the 6, Dom right of him, Jones left of him. Wirtz playing in behind ekitike and Isak. Attacking left has Kerkez, Jones,ekitike linking through Wirtz Attacking right has Bradley/Frimpong, Dom, Isak linking through Wirtz Attacking through the middle has wirtz with Jones running left, Dom running right, linking with Isak and ekitike. Overloads in all areas of the pitch, and when defending the midfield 3 are tall, strong, leggy and fast. And bring Chiesa on as first sub for one of the front lads. Needs a big statement

Honestly do not think this lad is the problem. Playing an out of form Salah, MacAllister, unfit Isak and having Gakpo who does not link up with either the overlapping full back or no 9 is all killing us well more than the new 20 year old fullback.

Somebody Hit The Fecking Ball

Missed a sitter but the only one who's actually looked like scoring

That was the keepers ball

Mo is hurting this team (hope he scores)

Virgil. That was just awful

Keep Grav and take Mo off?

A shortterm misstep, but think of the end of season upside when you'll be able to quote either post and say, with righteous indignation, 'see, told you' And no one will remember...

Yes.. But I reckon when we're attacking on the right that Wirtz can link up with Dom and Bradley creating a 3 pronged attack, And on the left Wirtz could link up with ekitike and Kerkez Aye.. Didn't explain it well but I meant we would have the consistent 3 with Wirtz as an extra, whereas at the moment he's one of the three

I'd like to see Wirtz playing behind ekitike and Isak. Use the right side midfielder and fullback to over load on the right, and similar on the left. When defending the default is then three in midfield with Wirtz dropping back.

As chants go it's got rhythm and rhyme, but it's not exactly uplifting

He is, but he's the absolute last and least of the problems
