    Agree with earlier comment, Everton keep looking to play the ball wide when the space is all through the middle, the right movement and pass and they can get in behind at will

    United are there for the taking, as they are most weeks these days

    Who was the idiot commentating on our game last night? Fixated on whether or not the ref thought it was a clear goalscoring opportunity when Konsa was sent off then the penny dropped about 5 minutes later when he realised (someone told him) that it’s irrelevant for a yellow card. The state of football journalism and punditry is really in the gutter, even experienced folks seem to be getting dragged down by the ongoing dumbing down of everything to make it more appealing to the masses.

    So many similarities with Bailey that you just have to allow him time and hope for a similar end result. He’s not nearly as effective as he could and should be right now but just like Bailey, we know there’s a player in there.

    Good result I guess in the grand scheme of things but pretty poor performance really overall. I don’t know if it was an intentional tactic, I think it probably was but we very much looked like we were playing for a 0-0, very little urgency to go forward, when we did try the passing was scrappy and we often either lost the ball or were under a lot of pressure due to poor first touches. All worthwhile if we win the second leg I guess.

    In possession very disjointed in general, Diaby has had the best opportunities to create something but hasn’t yet delivered. First touches and passing poor, need to improve massively second half.

    Gonna hazard a guess that it wasn’t the Roma team that stabbed them…….

    6 points separating 12th - 23rd in the championship, could be a helluva dogfight for the rest of the season

    When were you at Staffs Uni? I was there 2002-2005 (Stoke campus, studying journalism)

    Every club sells players, particularly these days. Would City have let Cole Palmer leave if they didn’t need to? Invariably this means we’ll lose one or two of our star players but if we get good value and can replace them well it’s not a major issue.

    Guessing we have the toughest run in given that we’ve played the bottom 5 now home and away already, that said, there’s an argument to be made for playing mid table sides over the relegation candidates toward the end of the season I suppose. I’m trying hard not to start believing too much in the vain hope it would soften the blow if we end up missing out but I can’t stop looking at the table and smiling.

    Didn’t work out too badly for us

    He’s close to perfect at the moment, oozing confidence and seems to be enjoying every little battle on the pitch.

    A lot to learn to play a midfield role here, shown up defensively second half but looked great in the first half.
  15. bannedfromHandV
    We played them off the park for 80 minutes in the home game, it finished 3-1 but it was really more of a 4 or 5 nil match, Konsa literally gifted them their goal under no pressure. They’ve definitely improved since then and their home ground is a bit of a leveller but if we do what we should, we should win, if Bailey’s on it again I reckon we win.

    Gabby’s ‘perfect’ hattrick against City
  17. bannedfromHandV
    Probably not but I suspect we may have kept it open whilst he was rehabbing to keep him engaged and motivated, all guesses at this stage of course.
  18. bannedfromHandV
    Probably putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 but I have a feeling we’ve told him he has no future here, social media is rarely a great source of truth for stuff like this (remember the anxiety when Mings posted the somewhat cryptic black and white photo a couple of months or so back) but around month ago he posted something (cryptic) about being let down, or to that effect. It seemed to coincide with him having just returned to training, my suspicion is that we’ve strung him along a bit to get him through the injury / rehab etc and then told him he’s not going to get a look in. Or I’m chatting absolute bollocks, either could easily be true.

    Obviously I’d be gutted to leave VP but you can’t stand in the way of progress and if it kicks us on a level then we have to accept it
  20. bannedfromHandV
    Clearly too good for that level, hopefully gives him the platform to get back to a better level

    Whispers quietly - it always was.

    Be interesting to see if they go full strength against City in the cup tomorrow night too, can see Edwards wanting to rest some of the side ready for the weekend but unsure if he can given the opposition.
  23. bannedfromHandV
    But worried about starting Chambers and Lenglet against their physical attack but fingers crossed we can score more than them as I can’t see it being a 0-0 draw.
  24. bannedfromHandV
    Has turned out to be a very useful and valuable loan in, it’s taken an unfortunate set of circumstances to see him here at all let alone in the first team regularly but we’d be in real trouble without him right now.

    Feel like that Tonali ban has massively disrupted them, it was their marquee signing and with all their other injury issues has only been compounded.
