Tomaszk

We'd be bottom on about 2 points. He's well beyond Milner mate. There's only God and Yorkie in his league I've seen, and he's probably gone past Yorke as well. Fecking get him in the middle of the pitch Dean. Centre mid, sat in front of the other two.

Possibly slower than Hourihane. So unfit. Thought he showed for the ball a bit and tried to use it, can't be easy playing with Nakamba. Damning of the squad he's being picked ahead of so many. Luiz played himself out and has probably just played himself back in.

He looked a bit broken. Definitely didn't have usual zip. My MOTM. Magnificent effort always, leads the press, goes and effing tackles people, doesn't stand off.

How funny is Hause to watch as well. He's cheering me up.

We've got two central midfielders who are not fit for Premier League football, it's embarrassing. Drinkwater is actually unfit, and Nakamba is doing the Reo-Coker thing of stopping the ball dead and moving himself round it because he's got no technique. Get Grealish in the middle of the pitch. Now.

Tottenham no doubt saving themselves to suddenly click into form against us.

Another one to keep an eye on then. Seen a lot of Tonali, he's absolutely fantastic.

Good.

I like Troy Deeney and I think he's exactly what we need as a personality and footballer. Poster boy for prison reform.

I'll try again. Neither Pearson or Sam would keep us up TRO. You think they would make these poor players better? You think Hourihane would be flying into tackles and offering himself for passes? You think Taylor will suddenly become a footballer? We'll suddenly have a striker to play? I'm afraid not. Summer recruitment has made this an almost impossible task. Smith has made errors along the way though.

Do you think it's too late to change now? I do. I'd have been sad but accepted it the turn of the year, too late now. Things could get really bad if we're taking whippings every week and the manager is sat on a new contract. People want someone to blame and Suso is out of reach for Joe Bloggs sat in the Holte. Start the recovery and bring us 3 points tomorrow Deano! I think the best case scenario is he works another miracle, keeps us up, and we can amicably part ways in the summer. (Desperate to be eating those words when he fires us up to 8th this half of the season)

Watford who have been in the PL for 5 years, have a top-flight squad and Troy Deeney as captain. Watford who were underperforming horribly and sat bottom, yes he's made them better. It would have been tough to make them worse. Sam would absolutely not keep us up TRO, you think he's going to make these poor players better? You think the usuals will stop being afraid of the ball and tackling? I'm afraid not. Summer signings were not enough and I think we're going down as well yes. How on earth we're only just signing striker now is mind-blowing. If the money is there why didn't we get another one in the summer? Why didn't we get ready and have one ready January 1st? Amateur hour. Smith will have to take his share of the blame for picking out of form players and formations that weren't working but I don't think there's anyone who could do much better with this crop. He's the only man who can keep us up now, it'll have to mean his methods get through to the players. It'll be a miracle and take something superhuman from Jack. Let's start tomorrow with 3 points.

Tonali would be such a sickeningly good signing for Liverpool it hurts. Kid lacks nothing except maybe height. Unbelievable player. Doesn't turn 20 until May ffs.

Smith said in the presser "We've had 18...20 outfielders training today so it's looking good" Why they didn't ask him specially about Targett I don't know. Taking Kodj out, we've only got 21 senior outfielders including McGinn, Wes and Davis. So surely he's in good shape? We will lose with Neil Taylor.

He's better than Wes, but he's still not a striker. Samatta will be done by Watford surely.

The options in that poll are so funny. Mods take it down before someone sees ffs. No point replacing him now, too late. Was a tiny option if we'd done it early Jan. Just getting in ahead of tomorrow 5pm

This says he's very likely leaving because they're not going to register him to play after January, but he doesn't want to go to MLS.

Surely to Christ we tried to include him in this deal?!

Yes please. I believe Brahim has refused to go out on loan recently.

Mooy back for them is massive. Can't see anything but a heavy defeat.

3m Euros says here. Don't think it'll be that much, unreal money.

What is the no-no part of it? Advertising anything thru socials?

Dude on reddit summed it up better than I... Being in PL may humble him a bit? Good player definitely if they can stop him moaning.

He's a good player but a right little bellend. Short loan is good move for Norwich, have a look at him.
