Matthew Pennington

[Eggs]

...whilst I thought the substitutions were bizarre, the introduction of Pennington must have been a massive boost for the lad after Saturday's disappointment.

Vardy & Okazaki will give him a test

...it'll be interesting how we manage that threat. The Reds came unstuck playing Lucas in there, i can see us defending very deep.

 

[Lazio]

He had a poor game at Anfield, but you can dig out clips of Vidic, Carragher, Terry and Kompany being rinsed by world class players, and that's what Coutinho is. Williams made just as many gaffes in that game and he's an experienced premier league player and international.

He looked decent last night and will get gradually better with more minutes under his belt.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I agree against a tepid United team he looked good value. Still think we could have throttled them but we looked like the Baggies after getting one up.
Maybe next time.

Ah, ok then.

until June 2019

Just a one year extension

 

[Tubey]

Fine by me. Won't be mega wages and we'll get a decent fee in a year or two from a newly promoted Prem team or top tier Championship.

 

[MikeH72]

Concerning how all these new contracts are flying around yet no mention of Barkley whatsoever.

Nice to see you're giving the lad a chance.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Nice to see us giving extensions to everyone except those we desperately need to.

 

[Zatara]

Well, this is odd, he had a year left I think so why not see if he improves first?

 

[McBain]

Expecting a 22 year old CB to be the finished product is the biggest mystery in here for me.

First game of his season against two thirds of the Brazilian front three and 25 minutes against probably the most dynamic striker of the last decade and he's not Bobby Moore reincarnated.

Who does the Doctor treat FFS?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Hope he starts tomorrow

Which one of Douglas Costa and Neymar has he played against?

To be fair the situations are all so different. Agent fees maybe making a difference with Ross? Tom and Matt's agents can't really ask for all that much currently since there'd be little justification.
