Baird of the land

Baz is still bitter we replaced him with an Israeli.

After the Chelsea incident Waiting for the joke punishment.

So in reality a 6.5/10, like the others

Because French football isn’t championship football. also likely to be more space behind when you aren’t a big team in the league.

a very odd game. City wasteful whereas saints were clinical. Win very welcome but lack of control for large parts is concerning.

Isn’t the idea to condense international breaks so there is only one.

Has there been an update on when jander will be back?

You must be confusing him with downes.

Curious to see if tonda persists with him in the more advanced role until jander’s return.

At this point in his career he’s pretty limited and not a good replacement for a mobile midfielder like Charles. As for tonight he was competent, not great, not terrible. difference in the midfield today vs Saturday was downes, who was excellent defensively and getting forward. I don’t think it should be odd to push back on suggestions that he should be in our best xi.

I’m happy with the win but trying to claim that jwp has been virtually flawless is having a laugh.

Jwp is not.

Where was that goal you promised?

Key players turned up azaz, scienza, larin. Interesting to see downes playing further forward. Not sure it’s his ideal position but certainly on today’s evidence more effective at it than the crablike jwp.

I really hope we don't plan on starting those 3 in midfield.
