    I like him as well mate but he needs an experienced cb alongside him as he can be very rash at times. Charles was one of the best players in u21 football last season but hes a CM for me. Ballard better than both at the minute, tbh id probably still pick Harwood-bellis ahead of o9 - as think he would be unreal with ballard. So ill take my comment back lol

    From Saturday's games:

    Southampton 68% possession, two shots, no goals - lost
    Leicester 64% possession, one shot, no goals - lost
    Blackburn 58% possession, four shots, no goals - lost
    Norwich 63% possession, five shots, one goal - lost
    Stoke 60% possession, one shot, no goals - lost
    West Brom 62% possession, five shots, one goal - lost

    We had about 30% and scored five, could've been more.

    Aye he is, have noticed that his forward players push so high up n it means as soon as they lose the ball theres so much space for Leicester to attack. Need a better balance of players behind the ball n ahead of it

    Did he not say he doesn't believe in Plan B...just do Plan A better? In other words his plan is the right one, and its never his fault

    That’s the old Springboks approach. Plan A is to hit them hard and if that doesn’t work you hit them harder.

    Which manager was it had us passing it about at the back like a poundshop Barca and it didn't work at all. Was that Johnson? Remember us messing it up every time but keeping going with it for loads of games with lads who couldn't pass really. Was painful

    They should be able to though. If they don’t it’s through fault of their own not because anyone stopped them. Burnley pissed the league with a worse squad than Southampton have.

    Probably. He is such a bellend that I could definitely imagine him saying that. Way out of his depth here. Quite funny to watch tbh. <laugh>

    Was thinking about this earlier and City can’t rate him that highly to have loaned him to the championship for a 3rd consecutive season after he won it earlier this year.

    Im surprised hes back in the championship tbh, should be playing PL football. Think city do rate him as theyve not sold him yet. They seem to be selling quite a few youngsters each season and hes not been sold yet. Wont be surprised if they sell him next season unless he has an amazing yr this season

    No hahaha Harwood-Bellis. Won the league with Burnley last season after a decent season with Blackburn before that and he’s back again.

    Think they wanted £15m and Burnley wouldn’t pay it. I’d say he’s probably worth a chance for that mind. Him and Beyer were solid last season

    Southampton don’t look much cop tonight, Leicester don’t look like world beaters either. This league is pretty wide open I think.
