See above. Public holiday in Bruges: Ascension Day.

So festival in Italy or public holiday in Bruges? Or both 

Is it the lino's fault for flagging or the ref's for blowing?

Was he off? Did the keeper stop or would that've gone in?

It's a **** disgrace. They blew early for Davies being offside as well. Was clear but should still let the play run.

Flagging early...disgrace!

I'm glad they scored because Carvajal should have conceded a pen just before that. But if a player gets a shot away the foul after is always ignored!

I know Cash is always very funny but I do wish we had a but better representation on things like this.

Grealish into Cash makes us seem like the thickest club in the league.

Rogers is an intelligent guy, and Youri

Not that it matters but didn’t his Seville team come back from a 2-0 1st leg loss vs Betis in the Europa league?

Might be wrong though! 

Looks like you're right:

Chelsea triggered Olise’s release clause which was allegedly just £35m - they might struggle to keep hold of him still if the fee is that low 

It's not, he signed a new four-year deal after he rejected Chelsea. There may still be a release clause but it'll no doubt be higher.

Fantastic performance, fair play.

7 pages. Are the links that strong ?

Thread started 2021...had no idea we'd been linked to him for that long 

FBRef stats FYI:

@Zatman are those passing stats really worse than all our CBs?

Edit: NVM, I see you said last season.

Progressive passes 98th percentile though

Well I would be worried about our height at the back without Mings.  Hermoso for all his attributes is only 6ft and not known as dominant aerially I believe.

I thought he had good aerial duel stats for some reason, definitely not the case though:

We have missed him..

That's an understatement. Such a classy operator in the middle of the park. Hope he comes back firing next season.

I’m not confused. You’re an idiot. Where is the confusion?

You had a few beers tonight? Wind your neck in and STFU.

Good grief I'm starting to think David O'Leary was right. 

He's been captain in our best ever Premier league season. 

Yes he's had a dip in form, but so have lots of others. 

He does have some glaring limitations though

No control again. Didn't change it again.

Just now, GlobalVillan said:

My good mate is a QPR fan and didnt rate him.

Anyway, this is the Premier League and he isnt clise to being good enough.

Many QPR fans did rate him though?

Many Boro fans/Championship followers didn't rate Rogers, they've been proven to be clueless. Means nothing.

Just now, GlobalVillan said:

I think the fact we havent seen more of him, despite all our injuries and multiple games in succession, tells you all you need to know.

I don't think it does, would rather judge of what I've seen of him myself.

Just now, nick76 said:

Don’t think he’s looked any good when he has played more recently.  He must have talent but I haven’t seen he’s up to this level recently so I wouldn’t be putting him in.

Looked decent the other night IMO.

Just now, GlobalVillan said:

No. He is a Championship player at best. I am not even sure he is even that level.

This is the Premier League. 

He is only still here because of our awful injury record. He'll be gone next month.

We just need to try and find the energy to push on for one more half.

 

How much have you seen of him? McGinn is playing so poorly in CM, we can't be any worse. Zero control.

1 minute ago, GlobalVillan said:

Absolutely not. We can still get a result here. 

You don't think he would help us get a result? Our midfield is poor.

Where's Zaniolo today?
