    Anyone got a link directly to the official stream? Paid for it, but can I **** get it to show up. All I can see is a dead link telling me to buy it. Tried across four devices now

    “When you lose possession DO NOT try and win it back. If I see you running you will be substituted “


    Seems legit

    Good that he bounces right back up. As a full back he will get smashed every now and then, it’s important he find some resilience

    Not a fan of Neil being so deep, his passing is far too good to be playing that deep

    Playing some good stuff here. Good rotations in midfield and nice combinations out wide.

    Disagree. Need someone deep to start the attacks, receive the ball on the half turn from the defenders and dictate the play, put someone like O'Nien in there which I see being shouted constantly and our attack would be poor.

    Then get a proper CDM brought into the club. Neil, imo, is wasted playing so deep

    You clearly know more about what goes on at the coaching sessions and tactics briefings than I do. I actually know nothing about what happens there and what players should or shouldn’t do in any given circumstance because I’m not there.

    Disagree marra. Think he has the potential to be a game changer in there. So calm in possession. Also it’s the position that’ll see him get farthest in his career. If he nails it he’ll ply top end PL. don’t think he’ll ever do that as a player further forward.

    Neil is more than good enough in there though, infact I think it's his best position. Put him further forward and you lose his passing range and his off ball intelligence.

    Massively disagree, playing that deep his passing isn't anywhere near as effective or dangerous.

    Can't wait for the anxiety levels rising at the SoL when Patterson is high up the pitch

    I find it incredibly unlikely that any player is coached not to track back. Certainly not a central midfielder

    Hemir’s body language isn’t great. Even when he scored the other day he didn’t look particularly happy/bothered
