Jacksons movement is **** terrible
Then again so is his touch, positioning, finishing, passing...
I'm blaming you when he scores a perfect hatrick on the weekend FYI

I reckon Brighton get something at City too to give Arsenal some hope, putting it in their hands.... Going to be glorious watching them come so close but still throw it away
-
I also really like that we bought a big stake in Real Union.
There aren't many ways (or examples of) clubs and owners being able to show their support for their guy. Supporting his private venture that has huge sentimental links to Unai, really puts a stake in the ground that he's our man and hopefully ties him to us a little bit longer
-
I wasn't particularly worried about losing him just yet, but nice to see it confirmed. Bayern, Liverpool and Man U all looking for new managers. Maybe Barca and Chelsea added to that,
You never know, so good to see the fire put out before it had chance to smoke.

Incredible

Biggest game of their decade this weekend and the captain arrested (and charged) for drink driving.

I wonder if we were ever interested in Hayden Hackney and we'll go back in for him to replace Denconcker and boost our Homegrown quota again?
Or,whether (maybe giving them more credit than due) the journo's figured out we were interested in a Boro player, assumed Hackney and they ran with it but we were only ever interested in Rogers

I'd go for Tosin from Fulham and Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth.
Both available on free's in the summer and good for english quota.
There is also Osho from Luton on a free but would be a big step up for him and Luton leak goals for fun he has also scored quite a few OG's this season.
Lloyd Kelly can play CB and LB the alternative is obvious Hermoso from Atletico that can also do that.
Would love Tosin, but I can't see us spending on a CB (I know he's free, but because of that & his homegrown status, Newcastle, Spurs & United at least are all in for him too, so wages & fees will be high).
We'll have Konsa, Pau, Mings and Carlos next season. Unless somebody is sold, I doubt we'll sign one as we're already spending a lot on our CB wages. Konsa probably our best but probably cheapest weekly too.
I think we'll buy a RB and see Konsa at CB again rather than replace Lenglet with a CB. Unless Carlos gets sold, or Mings is miles off it perhaps?

The Villa podcast were talking about upgrading both our full-backs, in that both need upgraded to the level of the rest of the team if we are to go above the level we are currently at. Nothing against Cash or Digne, but if they were upgraded to players that contributed more goals and assists, we'd move up another level entirely.
I agree mostly...the problem is we bought two 30yo LBs, both of which were in great form not long ago. It looked like we needed a new RB, sure, but were set at LB for a couple years, with the competition from Moreno really pushing Digne to a new level....
6 months on, neither LB is really at the level and we still need a RB.
I also don't think Unai will want both Fullbacks scoring and assisting freely as we'll be open on the counter. Interesting to see how we react

In the years since Leicester won the league, 66 points after 34 games would mainly put you 4th (x4). 3rd (x3) is possible, but not since the Covid season now.
Full List
22/23: 4th (3rd 68pts)
21/22: 4th (3rd 69pts)
20/21: 3rd (Leicester on 63. Man U 2nd 67pts, Chelsea 4th on 61)
19/20: 3rd (Chelsea on 60. City 2nd 69. Leicester 4th on 59)
18/19: 4th/5th (3rd 70pts)
17/18: 5th (4th 70pts)
16/17: 4th (3rd 68pts)
15/16: 3rd (2nd 68pts)
Sidenote: I was surprised to remember Leicester were competitive up until just a couple seasons ago. They were 3rd at this point 3 seasons back (then only got 3 points from 4 games, finished 5th). 8th a season later, then relegated. Madness

What position would we have been in previous seasons on 66 points at this stage? It feels like this should be 3rd rather than 4th typically.

I'm surprised at the talk of just 4 more points.
Personally was doing the guesstimate maths earlier and think we need 6 more

Genuinely forgot all about this

Ollie desperate for his goal. He wants that golden boot
-
Incredible work by Ollie. Shame that it needed the tap in (but it definitely did).
Great work by the team.

Can't wait to have a fully fit , confident and flowing Ramsey LM/LW with Rogers inside him ( Ultimate Kenneth Meltdown gif ) as Left inside Forward/10.
The Double RR and Rolls Royce puns/memes would be rinsed by me!
Kenneth's aren't as fun when you pre-empt the Kenneth

You just know the poor social media intern was trying to figure out how to calm whoever told them to post this
-
Came to post this as well. Ain't no way the Social Media manager has typed that, someone in their Senior Management team have absolutely lost their heads at full time here
-
McGinn knew the whistle was coming. Was screaming at them to get it in the box.
That's the determination we wanna see. Much improved end to the half
-
JJ is going to have a hell of a job to win his spot back. Rogers is a clone. What a position to be in for us

Please remind me of the last time we turned a game around.
If we win this game, we'll be the 5th best team in the league at overturning defeats. Ahead of Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Brighton
