Even league one and league two players earn far above what most people earn so it's still a hell of a career for them.

Probably agent talk, but I always love the idea of a random free transfer that no-one has heard of in the hope they turn out to be a diamond.

Infuriating isn't it, imagine if we hadn't been shackled by the wages of Forster, Hoedt, Boufal, Lemina, Carrillo and probably someone else I'm forgetting, as well as the £19million we wasted on Carrillo just before Ralph came in. By the time we get to a point where he can spend some decent money for players that really suit his system, it'll probably be about time he wants to move on.

I think we need Romeu to do a job on Tielemans.

Always makes me wonder why we don't make our kits in house. You'd sell a lot more with a fan designed, fan voted shirt and keep all the profits instead of a portion going to the manufacturer. Depends how much they pay us to make our kits I suppose. Have to say not much of a fan of that one though, in the age of half and half shirts it looks a little too much like one of them.

What I said wasn't incorrect 😂🤦‍♂️

Tomori would want to be a starter which he wouldn't be here, not right away. He could potentially be a Bednarek replacement (as I don't see him signing a new contract), but I'd rather we tried to sign someone better. We should be aiming to have our defence as solid as when we had the likes of Fonte, Aldeweireld and Van Dijk back there.

Only thing in the article I don't really agree with is the notion we attack as a 2-4-4. We've all complained at one time or another about Bertrand this season, but in the Liverpool game I think I realised that him sitting back was intentional. He doesn't have the pace or the stamina any more to bomb up and down the wing all game long like KWP does and so we're using him effectively as an extra defender in case of counter.

Ironically enough one of the places I can see him going is Leicester, if the rumours of Rodgers to Chelsea have anything about them.

He'll go back to banging them in, criminally misused by West Ham and a little surprised he's leaving even with his lack of goal return, he starts almost every game for them.

Are you blind? Lighthouse confirmed it in the picture you posted, duh.

If Derby are allowed to send youth players instead of first team then Shrewsbury should be told to do the same or forfeit, ffs. We're going to end up with an additional midweek game now.

Under no circumstances should JWPs position be dicked around with again. Centre midfield is his now.

Well that's not true, he played there on occasion but the vast majority of his time there was up front as part of a 2.

Oriol will be straight back into the team, he's made more tackles than any other midfielder (player possibly) in the Prem and has been a vital part of our play both going forwards and defending. Diallo has a long way to go.

Very good performance but still one or two moments of madness in there, loose passes straight to the feet of oppo attackers one of which left them 2 on 2. Think he's sometimes guilty of being a little too comfortable with the playing it round the back, still needs to focus fully even on what should be a simple pass.

I'll be shocked if KWP plays, he's played every minute of the season so far I believe and has out a huge amount of effort in.

Only 21 and barely any appearances under his belt. Promising signs so far, hope he doesn't fade away - chances will be few and far between for him.

I'd be very disappointed not to see Nlundulu get a start to show what he can actually do with some decent time on a pitch. Is this on TV?

Fuck me, sky sports are micro analysing the penalty that wasn't saying what could of happened to make it a penalty 😂

Sacking Lampard would be nuts at this stage, it's only a two game turn around to be at the top again. He does need to stop playing Werner as a left winger though, that shits ridiculous.

Immediately talking about Liverpool again.

Here's the real worry...was Ings not celebrating because he used to play for them or because he knows he'll be playing for them again soon.

Hope not. Although if we get a decent fee for him that can be reinvested, wouldn't be the worst person to lose from the squad. Wouldn't sell for less than £15million and a big sell on fee though.

Don't blame Ralph for getting emotional after the covid scares he's had, the team being gutted by injury and the shadow Liverpool/klopp have held over us/Ralph for a while now.
