Gakpo is a fantastic player

[lgvkarlos]

Macca will carve up teams with them through pass this season.

He's running the show for us, so good.

[jillcwhomever]

That wasn’t far away from Mc Allister.

[stockdam]

Nice effort by Mac

[Fromola]

The tendency against weaker teams is for everyone to go forwards looking for goals which means that we lose shape.

We'll beat up on a few teams this season but we'll be there for the taking too often if we don't sort the shape out/use the market effectively for another few defensive signings.

We're unbalanced, the system doesn't work or suit the players we have.

We'll have games as well where we play great football but still go in level or behind at half time because someone has simply booted the ball up the pitch.

You going to tell the manager? He's the one who keeps playing it.

Just one player, it's Robbo.

[Haggis36]

OK fine I'll concede - Mac Allister is the best player in the league.

[exiledintheUSA]

Macca will be in the running for Player of the Year.

[disgraced cake]

Mac Allister looking good

The referee however

[RedBec1993]

Mac Allister has been class.

True or false: Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab, and from 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them crab flavoured sticks.

Anyone willing to buy crab smelling sticks from the unidentified man visiting the pub just prior to closing was named the bravest man in the village?

[Fromola]

Then he needs the club to back him with a few more signings to at least give us a chance.

[Clint Eastwood]

Szobo looks a bit rusty on the ball.

What have FSG got to do with the day to day tactics?

Got yourself into a spin there lad.

Can we have one thread where transfers are not mentioned.

[lgvkarlos]

Hornby tapping Salah up fo his shirt

[Cafe De Paris]

I can see us relying a lot on Mac allister this season judging by this half. Just hope we don’t knacker him out as he seems to be doing everything in midfield.

oh look Stan Ogden isn't happy again

[stockdam]

A bit disjointed at times. Mac was good though. Robertson looked a bit short of pace.

[Ghost Town]

Quite right. Propitiate the god of spending. The only answer

[Fromola]

Mac Allister has been class.

He's what we've missed since Gini's peak years in midfield. He is class on the ball.

He gives away a lot of fouls, has been apparent in all his games for us so far.

As night follows day, everything inevitably comes back to transfers.

[Draex]

Honestly a left center half for Robbo and we're cooking, even with Mac as a 6 (he's been excellent).

(sorry jill and Hazell)

[naYoRHa2b]

Mac Allister has been great, winning the ball back with real desire. Robbo doesn't need to get forward, we've got 7 attack minded players on the pitch as it is. I'd try Gomez there.

[robertobaggio37]

MacAllister class above

We look so good in that attack but as a defensive unit we're just miles away still. One long ball and we're in trouble - how come we are still practicing this suicidal tactics?

[Tobelius]

Boring half scored only 2 and let in only 1 

[...]

Mac running the show. Good strength and tackling. Can definitely do a job in that deep role.

[Fromola]

What have FSG got to do with the day to day tactics?

Got yourself into a spin there lad.

Just saying for the system to work it'll take new signings IMO (at least a 6 and a LCB).

You can argue we should try a different approach. I'd rather we took less risks, as we already have the quality going forward.

[shank94]

Need to figure out to use Szobo correctly on Trent and Salah’s side else it will be Henderson issue again,  where the RCM was disappearing for large durations of the game, not knowing where to pick up the ball in which pockets.

Mac and Thiago infront of 6 and we have the Xavi Iniesta Biscuits midfield!

It's pathetic really. Over and over and over again - we lose the ball and one hoof from the opposition and we're in trouble.

[Zimagic]

MacAllister class, Gakpo too.

Feel that we are very open on the counter.
