Sure Matt, if that makes you feel better. But he did play around 40% odd less than he could. That isn’t great, no matter what the position, particularly for our best player and no 1 striker - they dont get taken off unless due to fitness. I’m not saying get rid or anything, just you cant go banding stats around that suit your position, as they weren’t an accurate reflection of how much playing time he played.

So Danny Ings last 2 seasons minutes played all competitions compared to JWP who played pretty much to the max: 20/21 - 2531 19/20 - 2099 JWP 20/21 - 3960 19/20 - 3910 So for me at least, Ings does still miss lots of minutes, around 40 - 50% less than he could play.

I think if Saka is fit he will play as I think he can be more disciplined defensively, which we may need with their LB.

Or in today's world - who really gives a fuck.

I thought we signed a younger LB from a Spanish team - anyone know he has done the last 12 months?

Not sure I agree with this at all. He was a brilliant out ball for Belgium, held it up, laid it off or turned and ran with the ball. Was really good last night in a game where chances were very limited.

Oh, oh, oh, and do we get to do this with fans also 🤔

😋 that would keep me busy…

Missed two sitters 😂 That made me chuckle.

It’s brilliant isn’t it 😆 Gatusso is a car crash waiting to happen, I’d be amazed if they kept Kane after appointing him, also be great for them to sound that Kane money too, although to be fair Levy has been pretty shrewd on transfers.

Thank god for that, no way we we have wanted Rose.

So we’re kind of saying the same thing then.

Yes, not sure why you’re asking that. I just said something looks to be going on, didn’t even say with us.

What’s going on with Minamino then, hasn’t he just left the Japan squad…

I agree there would have been serious shouts for the tournament to be needed, but I very much doubt it would be stopped even if a player died. They may postpone games for a couple of days, but that’s likely about all they’d do.

It is hardly like the transfer window is on fire with deals being announced by all other clubs on the hour. There is a major tournament that has just started, that also makes some things more difficult. Do you know his agent? I doubt you do, so doubt you know what is going on in truth, none of us do, but transfers are complicated and have many different things going on. And if we get some player that barely anyone had heard of before watching their YouTube video and feeling robbed if we dont, then we move on to someone else. What I expect happens, is that we approach multiple targets, and agree a deal with one, and have to tell the others we wont be signing them. It all works both ways...

It’s never been the same for me if Pavarotti isn’t singing it. Best World Cup for anthems IMO Italia 90

Yeah, I think Perraud is going to hit the ground running, quite like what ive seen and heard, although vids can be pretty misleading. I think we may see more advance from our wing backs as he will mirror KWP, perhaps with a MF moving back to cover depending which wing back is more advanced - think this will essentially convert as a back 3 temporarily.

Ok, if that is what you want to think. We did set up as 4222, but as I said - was in game changes. We did this for sure in the last couple of games and also i think going back a little further.

We did particularly towards the end of the season, was in game changes.

Well, we will see during the first half of next season.

Yeah I actually prefer White just had a feeling he may go with Godfrey, only reason is Everton finished higher than Brighton, and whilst GS used to pick players on form and regardless of club I think he has reverted into the usually mould for England managers.

Actually that makes a lot of sense, I think I agree it would cost a lot for us to part with him. Maybe not £0m but certainly more than my initial estimate.
