Much better second half, job done, now on to the bar codes.

Bentancur seems to be finding his best form after the long injury lay off.

And forest should have been down to 10 after the challenge on gio. Romero was red carded for exactly the same against Chelsea. Yet again no consistency with refs
 
First goal was lovely too. Shame it was an own goal.
I thought afterwards I should have said that.

Is it right you don't get an "Assist" stat for OGs? That seems ridiculous to me. You could go on a Maradona 86-type run and see your perfectly weighted pass turned in and you get zilch official credit, yet you do for a two yard tap to the scorer after someone else has done the heavy lifting.

Sarr and bissouma aren't working anymore. I'd start bentancur and PEH who was brilliant when he came on. Both were
 
Eze...looks doable especially if you look at the issues Maddison has had and Locelso very likely sold to Spain Hojbjerg maybe Italy. But its going to take us up to 70 million but with at least 30m back from Gio it becomes a possibility. Eze is a good character well liked and with ECL football to offer sharing Madders mins looks feasible. Then its about the game changing wide forward. Fullback cover and potentially LCB. We need Paratici in full Hesenberg mode.

We need a fully functioning 9 and 6
 
I don't know anything about Gyokeres but I loved Isak at Real Sociedad.

Shame we had Kane and Sonny on fire at the time (nice shame obviously) because it wouldn't have been the best move for him when he left Spain but I'd be fine if we went large on him this summer.
To sum up Gyokeres he is obviously in a ridiculous vain of goalscoring form for Sporting but his all round game is very good. He can play as 9 but very good at linking the play and bringing others into play. He can come off and get turned and play players through albeit not to a Kane level. He’s a big strong boy too and doesn’t get bullied. I thought he was a stand out for Coventry when I saw him and he’s scored in every game I’ve watched him for Sporting. Good penalty taker too. They’d want a crazy fee for him but he’s at that age and fits our profile. I just don’t see us spending £70/£80 million on him.
He has a wee bit of Lewandowski about him if I had to compare him to anybody with his style and even the way he moves.

Yes. That was Timo's goal. I'm very happy to eat my rash words about him. He's been a key asset (like it, Daniel?). I could not have been more wrong about the effect he's had on the team.

Pedro goes from strength to strength too - I love that little guy. He's like Lucas Moura, but with more ability.

As for VdV - I have no words.
 
Couldn't watch the game as had an all-day event I weren't allowed to miss.

How was it? Did we play well? Best vs worst performers?

Ta da!
 
Forest fans were a cocky bunch of idiots. Silence until they scored then it was the usual crap of is this a library then we're never to be heard after 2-1. Another shitty little club having their big day out and thinking they are elite fans. Fuck off back to the silly boys league.

If this and the recent stuff has been all your own work then I am very impressed.
I had no idea that you had any talent at anything.
Especially for you, Sudoku - I've made a picture of you relaxing. Uncanny likeness, huh?
