Morning Glory

I was not at the stadium but at the fanzone from 11am until the final whistle. It wasn’t great outside before or after. Happy to chat if needed.

According to Maddock & Gorst at the Echo tonight, Tchouameni’s agent has told us he has chosen Real.

Interesting who Mo has invited to attend his FWA player of the year award with him tonight…

Booked Eurotunnel Friday to Sunday. 2 nights hotel stay for £115 in Agnetz, hour’s drive from Paris.

Sorry to hear this Dave. Thoughts with you, your wife & family. Look after yourselves.

I hope Mo is watching the PSG game atm, and listening to the PSG fans boo Messi & Neymar every time they touch the ball. Just the club & supporters you want to play in front of…

Bellingham is some talent. I wonder…

Speaking of chants, surely Fab needs one. He’s been as pivotal as anyone under JK.

Great report. Totally on board with the Coady comments. Will never forget or forgive him making us attack the Kop first half for the title decider in May 19. Prick. And someone needs to educate the people of Wolverhampton about their poverty levels before they sing “sign-on” to us. Thick pricks.

Couldn’t give a shit about other teams. Klopp said Fab was our cover last season, nothing about hindsight. And I thought Kostas looked tidy enough in the limited game time he had last season. The drop off from our front 4 to Div & Tak is huge. The fact we can’t get rid of them tells it’s own story. This isn’t about loading debt, it’s about upgrading a part of the squad that will be exposed. And for the record we’re £6 million in profit this window.

I have zero faith in Minamino. Too lightweight and not cut out for the PL. I remember watching Lovren against Dortmund in a pre season game. Thought we’d bought a quality centre half. I’ll never make that mistake again. Plus his time on loan at Southampton was underwhelming. Let’s just hope the injury curse has passed and we don’t have to rely on him.

We were relying on Fabinho to fill in if required. With one of our CB’s a constant sick note. Relying on Origi & Minamino this season will bite us in the behind again.

At the end of last summer’s window, we were saying it was negligent to go into the season with just 3 recognised centre backs. At the end of this window, we’ll be saying it’s negligent to go into the season with no adequate cover for the front 4. Making unnecessary risks because our owners will not invest in the squad will only result in one outcome, again. It’s fucking scandalous how they get away with it.

Maldini Lahm Cole

Rashford just posted his response to the tournament and the past 24 hours. He is such an impressive character.

Konate is on his way. Midfield needs freshening up due to the ages of the skipper, Thiago & Milner. It’s time to offload Ox & Naby. Whatever funds that generates, bring in a fit, creative goal scoring midfielder who actually effects a game. Or bring in a new RB and move Trent into midfield. Bissouma for Gini. And someone clinical up front.

Maybe we should all drive over to OT tomorrow night, hide our true loyalties and join the protests so the game gets abandoned again. They’d have to award us the 3 points then with no space in the calendar....

City now. Dominoes...FSG still on the fence. For now. How the fuck do they come back from this?

So as it stands we can never win Big Ears again. We can never participate or win the European Cup/Champions League again. The history of our football club is based on those iconic European nights, and they are now no more. I was in Madrid and will never be able to replicate nights like that again. That’s what FSG have signed us up too. I hope they rot in hell.

Similar performance to last season there where we dogged it out until Bobby’s late winner. Trent v Neto was comfortably won by the supposedly can’t defend for toffee full back. I usually castigate refs but thought Pawson was decent tonight. That challenge in the 1st minute would have been given against us in normal circumstances. He’s obviously not in the WhatsApp group.

What the fuck are the coaching staff doing during the week? Do they honestly look at our centre backs and think yes they can play a high line? Are they expecting Bobby to magically turn the clock back to 12-18 months ago? Do they not realise the strength of our midfield is high energy and physicality not slow, sideward passing? Doesn’t bode well for Lijnders to be JK’s replacement as he’s just as culpable. And that decision to sub Mo not Firmino on 60 minutes? Scandalous. Questions need asking, injuries or not.

Carragher is in last chance saloon with Sky after his spitting incident. He’ll tow the line even if it means him going against us. Sold out. And although Kabak is not the answer the way he slaughtered him all game was a disgrace.

Botman & Robbo. Make it happen.

Couldn’t agree more on Tydlesley & McCoist. It was as if it was a privilege to be there for them. McCoist was the same at the Derby 12 months ago. Clive even called a pen for Mo in the second half. As opposed to the sly digs from Tyler & co we usually hear. Even Scholes was complimentary afterwards. And Coady is a cock. There’s been examples before of his knobhead behaviour (swapping ends in the title decider in May 19 so we attacked the Kop first half for one.) What ‘Red’ would have done that?

McManaman was a fucking disgrace tonight. You wouldn’t believe he’s a part time staff member of our club.
