Jeremy Corbyn

Nice pun. Not sure what he's hoping to achieve, unless he just can't be bothered to keep the anti-racism message going.

Getting nutrition, especially protein, from a plant based diet is more difficult and if someone is either not confident or uneducated when it comes to food/cooking then I can imagine they'd struggle to get what they need. It is perfectly possible to have healthy, high protein diet from plant based foods if you know how.

Anyone watched him for the B team and have a view on him? Obviously the teams been struggling.

The fact Djenepo started the first 4 suggests Ralph and co rate him highly. He certainly has something about him, if he could develop a consistent end product he'd be excellent.

Obviously an absurd suggestion but is there a chance Ralph rested Salisu today because 1. He thought we'd lose anyway and 2. In order to play him and Lyanco in this one?

If it is a "keeping the squad happy" thing, cant imagine Bednarek being thrilled that his chance is being dropped in at the deep end against City.

Honestly think 50-1 would be about right. COYS!

The reshuffle certainly does re-enforce that loyalty to Johnson and Symonds is more important than anything else (competence).

Yeah and I'd expect a fair bit of infighting as they work out what they actually want. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the Talibanisters turned up in Kabul and thought "bloody hell this modern stuff is cool", whereas some will want it all raised to the ground.

Surely the understand that things change in life? Especially during the first pandemic in anyone's lifetime.

Right, well as explained I didn't mean that we should, I was saying what I think's required to get him playing well. Not sure what your problem is.

I didn't say we should build a team around him, I was saying that in order to get the most out of him then I think it needs to be based around his strengths. Christ.

What on earth are you talking about?

I think you sort of have to build a team around Redmond as he plays like a wide playmaker rather than a winger. You players running off him, rather than him being the one making the runs.

Before or after our win at the Etihad?

Norwich have had quite a difficult start (Liverpool, City, Leicester, Arsenal) so you never know they might do something when it eases. Interestingly, no relegated team has gotten over 34 points in the last 5 seasons, I assume because the big clubs are hoovering up ever more points, but it does suggest the threshold for safety has dropped and we're only 10(ish) wins away.

Even by recent standards that article is bad.

Redmond's best position is wide on the left, drifting inside where he can either play in the overlapping full back or attacking players through the centre. He played that role against Newcastle and was excellent. It should be a straight contest between him and Djenepo on the left and Armstrong and Moi on the right (with Tella as a versatile option).

You can see that Diallo offers a lot more dynamism during open play, I find JWP's default setting to pass backwards and sideways very limiting to our play.

Yep. Time for a new contract. This is the right sort of time when a player I'd on the up.

Her consistency is just unbelievable. Must be so tiring to play against her.

He's excellent, really good defensive fundamentals as well as being quick and having very good awareness. I actually he's alright on the ball if not spectacular. His one shortcoming at this stage (and is the case with JB and JS) is dominating the defensive area with regards to high balls in, hopefully Lyanco will provide that.

This final is immense, such quality and really entertaining tennis.

Who would be the midfield 3 in today's formation?

They have Champions League on Wednesday and then us on Saturday, which is the only straw I have to clutch. I'd be tempted to change to a back 5 and try and hurt them with our full backs and hope for the best. Might be a mauling.
