Absolutely sensational performance. We spanked them bitches from start to finish. Dominated. Now we have our whole squad fit, we look like we can compete. We still do need to strengthen in summer because it's clear from previous times we lack depth, but we're 3rd so cannot complain. We look a lot better with Isak leading the line, and the recent switch in our attacking 3 has made the world of difference. Ratings - Pope - 5 - Not much to do. Was a bit sloppy at times, almost gave possession away for what would have been an absolute clanger. He's made a few mistakes and is clearly lacking confidence on the ball. Mostly calm under pressure when needed. Trippier - 8 - Another assist, great pressure play. Schar - 8.5 - Tank. Unlucky not to score, best CB I've seen play for us in the last 15 years I'd say. Botman - 8 Burn - 7 - Apart from some sloppy play going forward due to his limited attacking capabilities, good defending, flattened their wingers especially that bitch Antony. Good performance. Longstaff - 7 - Good Bruno - 8 - Great play leading up to the goal, good all round performance. Willock - 9.5 - MOTM. All over the pitch today. Good goal, great energy, great runs. Only not a 10 because he missed a sitter. ASM - 8.5 - Best game since the man city game. Great runs, created some great chances and assisted the goal, actually ****ing tracked back. Isak - 9 - Didn't score, but damn this guy is class. Superb touches, superb link up play, superb closing down of their players. Important in the build up for our first goal. What difference he makes. Murphy - 8 Gordon - 6 Wilson - 7 - Good goal. Anderson - n/a.
Murphy was good, initially was gonna give him 7 but remembered he put in some good balls. Longstaff - Was good but cannot remember anything great that he did, he's just an engine with a decent pass on him.
It was me that bought all the sambuccas and your coke, now I’m thinking about it. What round did you actually buy?
5 sambucas, Trev’s pint, fadges pint, you and don and schlem said no thanks. You were ****ered though so understand if you forget. #plonkie
Love the whole aesthetic of the club rn with the flags and stuff. Like it looks really cool. I have to say though, I ****ing hate Local Hero when we all walk out. I wish we used Jimmy Nails Big River. It's a proper good song, has a message about the area, has meaning and love. Local Hero is just a fella going mental on a sax.
