By Hitch Go To PostFound his level
Norwich are PL m9. If he can bang in two against "much better equipped this time" Norwich, he can definitely score a hat trick against Arsenal.
Cole Palmer is an absolute stud. First thing he needs to do though when he is truly in the first team is get a better haircut.
Gilmour is solid, though I'm starting to wonder if Norwich was the best move for him in terms of a loan. Might very well be a hiding to nothing.
Early days still, mind.

By recon_zero Go To Postfucking Florentina.Milan fans, man.
By Feorax Go To PostTaki and Div could actually be of some real use in January if they keep this up.Minamino might, now that he's more settled. Origi definitely won't, he always does this. Plays a few cup games or makes some impact as a sub and looks like he's suddenly remembered how to play football, then a proper league start comes up and he steps into the Origi machine and swaps half his DNA with a fuckin donkey
By Scum Go To PostI know man, so close.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostTwo thirds of a batongDoesn't have the head for it.
Ez win tonight and why I'm pretty confident this season. Wigan might be above us on goal difference at the moment but our overall squad is just better than theirs.

Palmer's first senior goal was quite good.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostIs he related to Carlton?His middle name is Jermaine which if he were American would mean there was a higher likelihood.. but no, he is not.

By Laboured Go To PostAbout what was expected. Can't wait to have Marcus back.Yeah I miss hm. His dynamism/directness/taking on players and beating them is something we are missing. We do have an insane amount of attacking players.
Too many cooks, really. We only ever look faintly balanced with Fred and McTominay, whose limitations are covered by us being good going forward but take one away and we’re too open.
Ronaldo, Cavani, Greenwood, Martial, Lingard, Rashford, Sancho, Pogba, Fernandes and van De Beek all competing for 4 positions is too much, really. Think re-signing Cavani was short-sighted if we were targeting Ronaldo, think VdB is now behind Lingard in the pecking order and therefore is going to see very little gametime, and I think Pogba’s best position is also Rashford’s best position and that might cause trouble.

1. We weren't targetting Ronaldo :lol
2. Rashford (when fit) is by far and away better in the left forward position than Pogba.
3. I am looking forward to J_Lingz, Mata, VdB, Cavani and Jadon absolutely slaughtering The Slags tonight.

By n8 dogg Go To PostToo many cooks, really. We only ever look faintly balanced with Fred and McTominay, whose limitations are covered by us being good going forward but take one away and we’re too open.Which is why a very good holding/defensive midfielder is needed to provide balance to the team. Right now we are using McFred to sort out the problem. Using two players/positions to provide what one should provide. Do that and you free up slot for an attacking/creative player.

As for the too many attacking players, we weren't actively pursuing CR7 so it made sense to sign Cavani for another year given his contribution to our play and his overall output. CR7 was an opportunity that came up suddenly that the club felt it couldn't pass up. About the only player in that list that I think doesn't belong is VdB. He is not a bad player. He just doesn't work in our system. I don't think we have much of a system in our play, at least compared to most top teams. In the right system, he will blossom.

I bet we see one of Pogba, Bruno or Ronaldo tonight.
