Change of target - If Long had shown a tad more composure, we might have got something at WHU and won today. Generally, I don't think our play in both of the last 2 games was bad, but in and around the opponent's penalty area we are severely lacking in a killer instinct.
I can't see anybody wanting to make an offer for Vic, based on his performances this season. Mane has to be kept - the mistake today was trying to get through the game without him, just to make a disciplinary point.
Presumably, other than his goal, he was just a passenger in the team that kept a clean sheet against Arsenal. A lot of people wrote him off after West Ham as one of our worst signings, and at the head of the queue for offloading in the summer.
Can I just remind everybody already planning how to spend next season's TV money, there will be 19 other sides banking the same windfall, so in comparative terms we will be no better off.
I agree that Kylo Ren isn't really nasty enough, and when did Gollum take over the galaxy ?
And as for the 'nods' to the geeks, "2187" has a neat resonance.
How many players could we afford to pay 'premium' salaries to ? And extending or expanding player contracts is no protection against them being poached by teams with realistic Champions League prospects.
