Saint Matty 76

FFS

It would've been quite nice if he didn't score a hattrick to be honest.

Fuck sake the cunts scored twice 😆

Hmm, not a particularly positive update from Ornstein there. I can really see him signing a new deal with a release clause etc for next year.

Some compilation of goals for a 23 y/o.

This is fucking nuts.

I know what you mean but if we're sticking with this 4-2-3-1 then I think I'd be comfortable with Che (especially how he's started this season), Mara & A. Armstrong.

AMN with an option is absolutely perfect business. The two City kids to fill out the squad is great too, would assume Edozie takes Redmond's spot. If we can get Gakpo over the line then this is nothing short of an exceptional window. The quick, direct winger is the last piece we need and it being a statement signing would just top everything off.

Performed in every game this season bar Spurs. I really hope he's turning this around and I hope we still give him what he needs in the window regardless of such a good win.

Obviously way too soon to say things like this but he has that Van Dijk too good for this already aura about him. Ball rolled it past Sterling in the penalty box and so calm on the ball/when facing up a defender.

Wow. Whatever scout found Bella-Kotchap and Lavia needs a raise.

? It was right in the middle of the goal and not handball.

Elyounoussi that has to go in for fuck sake

Good stuff. Thought Diallo and Arma were playing shit but both did very well in the second goal. Feels like I’m just bullying at this point but Elyounoussi may as well not be there… again.

Always happy to look like a twat!

Che been good. Shame the two next to him are useless.

Absolutely terrible start.

I don't disagree with that. I'd just like to think that playing JWP, Lavia & Diallo in midfield opens us up to playing players in the front three who can attack. Elyounoussi is proving time and time again that he can't.

Do we really need that in a 433 with three defensive minded midfielders?

Elyounoussi again? Fucking hell. All but confirms Romeu is gone with Diallo starting.

Looks like you’re right, bloke backtracked immediately!

Hope you’re right, don’t think you are regarding Chelsea! Sterling Broja Ziyech apparently.

Broja starting.

This exact scenario has genuinely been my biggest fear for 2-3 years.

Another Summer, another Harry Winks bullet dodged.
