9 points in six days, including two wins in London. Awesome. Gordon looked good when he came on - he might have played his way into starting the next game.
Kudos to Howe for changing it at HT, we've had managers that wait till the 80th minute for changes when you're 2 down
He did and it was ruthless which I also like: he made the right call again. The man has been absolutely fantastic so when we do go through a rough spell we need to remember. I am super proud:
Was in West London today for the match, the Brentford fans were ****s. One fan threw a scarf over and said “keep you warm when you get home” when we went 2-1 up I went a bit mad. Me little one would be proud tho. HWTL
Gordon for me is a lad who deserves a starting spot. He has bags of talent, he chases everything, wins it back, turns to move it forward, difficult to get the ball off. He's ****ing desperate for a goal, can see how he is playing. Howe taking him off was a tad disrespectful, I saw them scuffling on the sidelines afterwards and I think Howe got that decision wrong. Basically gave him a jab to the confidence for no reason and Ritchie ended up on the pitch for 30 seconds.
Ritchie should be retired and working as a coach for us, I see no reason for him to be an active squad player.
Bringing 40 plus million subs on is just stuff of dreams. Mike Ashley I hope you enjoy your extra sized sports direct cup tonight,
