250k a week lol why would he do anything different

 

[Pellowed]

Would say Jones over Macca would help more

Strange how we see different things. I think Macca is having one of his better games. Hope that doesn't jinx him.

 

[Farkmaster]

I thought Gakpo was far more useful than Salah.

 

[FreshRed]

I think we are playing well. If we played like this every game, even without great results, I would have few complaints.

Always room for improvement, but good pressing, good ball movement, several high quality chances.

 

[Beamrider]

I thought Gakpo was far more useful than Salah.

It's a low bar, but I'd agree.

it’s like choosing between a kick in the balls and a punch in the face

Totally agree , Macca is playing well, some people prefer to have players who run like headless chicken.

 

[dee]

Gakpo’s been ok. Salah pretty annonymous

 

[SummerOnions]

I'd take a headless chicken who passes forwards yes

 

[dee]

Ramsey must be absolute fucking muck if he really is no better than a DM lost at RB

 

[dee]

Sunderland alr3dy created more excitement attacking in the second half than we did all first half

 

[Modo]

Gakpo is now actively ruining our attacks

 

[ibromurph]

Problem we have is most teams pack the centre when in a low block and then it becomes a game of going around the outside.

But on the sides, we're losing the 1v1 battles with an old Salah, limited Gakpo, old limited Endo, old Robbo.

 

[Fabio]

It's like saying would you want a dog whos in a coma or one whos dead.

One is functioning more than the other, but neither you're going to play fetch with

Slot needs another £400 mill

 

[SummerOnions]

Also this chat of Gakpo on 250k but there's no Joyce level proof of that is there?

 

[SteveQ78]

ffs theres no cohesion

 

[Farkmaster]

Id do either for the story.

 

[SummerOnions]

If you're Ekitike and you see Gakpo being that unhelpful you'd be pissed wouldn't
you

 

[Farkmaster]

We aren't winning any second balls. We've come out really flat.

 

[dee]

old limited Endo

Now I’m a card carrying member of the Endo fan club, but fuck me he’s an absolutely abysmal RB

 

[SummerOnions]

Roefs hit the floor pretty easy there

 

[dee]

Keeper checking for blood lol

 

[Farkmaster]

It's going to be hard to score if absolutely no one will make a run behind.

 

[Fabio]

Bit silly from Hugo. Cant run the risk

 

[SummerOnions]

Lol ok let's put Macca at RB?

 

[BishBashBosh]

Also this chat of Gakpo on 250k but there's no Joyce level proof of that is there?

He’s not worth half that as a base wage, so I’d hope he wasn’t.

 

[Sculptorini]

That play acting from their keeper is embarrassing... Imagine his dad watching that!

 

[Markeh]

nice from alexis there

 

[FreshRed]

Well done by Macca there
