Its utter tripe, driven by the usual suspects on here who overhype every player who puts a blue shirt on. He has already done the Italy thing, failed at it and ended up back in South America. When he came here initially we had a free run at him...

I agree, on current form, you would leave him in and either give Branthwaite a few games on the bench to fully heal / ease back gently or drop Tarkowski and play Keane and Branthwaite. I love Tarkowski, but he looks a shadow of the player from...

He's playing as well as he did in the Ancelotti era at the moment, has looked our best defender up to now this season. I'm not a fan of his, but, credit where credit is due.

I actually think he’s a huge asset at times in a non conventional attacking sense. The big switch is always on as even contested we likely come out with the ball. He should push on for Pickfords goal kicks as well. I think if allowed as well...

Yesterday was more a game where I'm frustrated we haven't won because we were by far the better team rather than last season where I was frustrated we lost because we were so rubbish and it looked like we would be in danger of relegation...

I hope the people moaning realise they are literally demanding we be joint top of the league.

Judging him on the same metrics as the previous manager was allowed. He avoided losing. Lost 1 of 5 this season. We won’t win every game. A point against a team we haven’t beaten since they got promoted and who are a better side than their...

Not sure it was one step back, we lost this fixture last year and villa are a good team. In another day Beto puts away one of his chances or Martinez doesn’t make a world class save and everyone’s celebrating a win. The question has to be have we...

I'm pretty confident I'm the only person in the world wearing a Mason Holgate jersey to work today. Can't wait for another 3 points tomorrow.

I think the thing is to stay grounded. We will lose games at home and win away games. This is still the nucleus of the team that has been bottom half for a few seasons. Top ten would be decent (obviously higher would be great).

They've been pretty good at wasting chances so far. Zero goals in 3 games. Not that they created much either.

Funny feeling not to be worried by a match day. Don't get me wrong we may still get beat, at least we should be able to compete and actually play some football though.

My view of Ange is sadly obrustructed by Marinakis..

Remember them after the Villa game? The Dychettes were raving about it being “more of the same” (when in reality, you could already see improvements in that match) They all thought we would continue being 💩 under Moyes, Turns out they couldn’t...

Something we’ve been dreadful at recently is retaining value in the squad. Letting Myko run his contract down would be an insane decision.
