MO SALAH! MO SALAH! MO SALAH!

RUNNING DOWN THE WING!

SALAH! LA LA LA LA!

THE EGYPTIAN KING!

[Jive Turkey 12642]

boom.  CuJo making a difference.

[mdmost 43045]

He f'ing buried that. What a great shot in an incredibly tight space. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Mo Salah!!!’nn

[Jive Turkey 12642]

that was Messi-esque.  the control in such a tight space.

[pied 252]

Boom! Mo Salah!

[mdmost 43045]

Now this match should open up since West Ham can no longer just sit back. Now you bring in Bobby. 

[Bone3421 716]

When I see Mo do those kinda things I just wonder why you cant try that like twice a game

Seen you bend it that corner so many times yet we go 5 games without a goal or you even attempting trying to bang it in from just inside the penalty area

To be fair, West Ham have been putting 6 in the box. Not much space to maneuver

Hell of a pass from TAA to Shaq and what a terrible decision by the West Ham keeper not to go out to meet that Shaq pass. 

[Jive Turkey 12642]

Shaq has been such a spark.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Oh my!!!

I don’t think there was any chance he was going to get there.

I get that but that's why he needs to try it a few times a game...think it was the manu(league match) where I was just screaming for someone to shoot....we had guys with the ball inside the penalty all day just trying to pass it thru 6 guys

[Jive Turkey 12642]

this will never get old.

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Someone defend why Origi should ever start. 

[Bone3421 716]

1 down 25 to go....

We ain't losing again

YNWA

2 down 24 to go

[mdmost 43045]

Ben Davies is our new CB. Fits the Michael Edward’s model much like Andy. Also doesn’t take a foreign player spot.

We needed a body and we got a body. Hopefully he gives us enough to stay top 4 and push for a trophy.

I saw and interesting idea posited regarding long term roster moves. It was meeting Gini's contract demands and move him to the 6 permanently, move Fabs back as VvD's permanent partner and then use the money that would most likely be spent on a big time CB this summer use it in the midfield or attack. I don't hate it.

[That Guy 960]

How many passes in the build up to the Gini goal? What a fun 2nd half.

I don’t like Gini as the 6. Not saying he can’t do it but Fabinho is the best holding mid in the world and the best we’ve had since Masch. 

[mdmost 43045]

Michael Edwards is trying at least

> Only departure is set to be Sepp van den Berg’s loan move to Preston.

 

So you telling me there's a chance we exit the Winter transfer market with LESS defenders?

He's played better there and it's freed up Thiago. While not perfect it would eliminate the need to buy a partner for Virgil and spend that money in midfield and/or attack.

 

[Firemans4Horn 18120]

I don’t know why Kabak wasn’t done a month ago. Schalke has been relegation bound since October. Depending on Matip to stay healthy was a flawed strategy.

I don't think Fabinho wants to be moved permanently to the back and wouldn't blame him. 

Spend money on the midfield? We have Keita coming back at some point. That's like a brand new signing!!!!

hmmmmmm

and now this....

We got ourselves some CBs! Nicely done by Michael Edwards. 

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

I've always rated Kabak (ever since last week when I found out who he was)

[pied 252]

lol

Ben Davies sounds like a helluva signing. Here's a deep dive into his strengths and weaknesses:

This is good move both as a replacement long term for Matip and as a temp help. Big league experience, good in the air, scores some goals.

[mdmost 43045]

Wow. Seems Minamino is on the way out. That's a bit shocking but he's not really breaking into the lineup. Weird to see Jurgen give up that quickly. 

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

It has to be something we aren't seeing in practice / attitude. You don't loan a 26 year old unless you are dumping them.

[pied 252]

Good news, the City game is on NBCSN this Sunday.

[mdmost 43045]

Officially official. Build Michael Edwards a statue already. 

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

How many CB's did we sign today???

 

 

[mdmost 43045]

Those guys will definitely get their time in now.
