    Let's not let him down :) Especially after that midweek reminder of the squad of misfits they've assembled for half a £billion+ Into them blues. They're in the place to fold after a goal. M.

    He does seem ratty - tense, uncomfortable, almost fearful, like a guy who knows that thirty-odd thousand blues utterly fried his brain last year and has just found out that this time round there's actually going to be fifty-thousand of them.

    Ooof. This is true in terms of Dycheball... But James did the job well that was asked of him in those situations. Many turn their noses up. Dyche did well too with all the crap surrounding the team. But I'm not a ST holder and respect to the...

    And yet his stats are still in the top percentile and we have one of the best defences in the league. How does that work?

    Yup, brutal truth of sport right there... But it highlights for me just HOW important Tarks has been. His attitude and ability has been part of keeping us Premier League. Had JB been older in the dark times he might've played more, but also we...

    Despite his experience, I hope Moyes is having a small word in his ear about Sunday. There's a few times he's flew very close to the sun with his antics and given who the referee is he really needs to watch it.

    Big part in keeping us up in the dark seasons. Losing an edge of what pace he ever had now and seems to be winding in some of the antics early season, which he needs to in a VAR obsessed era. Overall happy to see him stick around as back up 1-2...

    Didn't he come back in the Summer after a horrible hamstring injury that would have kept 99.9% of other players out for so much longer. He wasn't great first half of the season at all, but some of these takes are just stupid. A reckless bully...

    100% convinced every team needs a snide mate or else you become a mark. Hes ours.

    Dont think he was fully fit to be honest, bad injury he picked up and it took him a while to get back to muster. Branthwaite makes him (and everyone around him) better.

    I agree with your points but how do you build a squad when you don't play the players you've bought, whilst playing a 36 year old in a pivotal role and giving Keane 25 games at centre half whilst making one of your future centre halves play right...

    I seem to remember that Benitez signed Patterson and Mykolenko. Can spot a player can Rafael.

    I pretty much agree with you. My main issue is with the lack of game time given to Dibling and the lack of a proper right back. A more offensive left back would be preferable behind Grealish/Ndaiye. He seems to massively rate Rohl - I think he...
