I'm at the point of wondering whether it might actually make Labour *more* popular if they broke the manifesto and said 'we accept we have done this, here's why' rather than the 'technically, if you squint, it's not a breach' stuff.

And a lot of the people who would love to destroy the BBC are also the ones complaining about lack of 'cultural cohesion'

Wish we could drop Trippier too. Had a terrible second half today.

We were one step away from being Greece, I recall

Ah but they bought guys who over perform their xG....

Absolutely wild that final goal isn't overturned either.

We have 4 full backs, 3 of them are RBs and one of them Howe doesn't trust to play in pretty much any circumstances.

We need one more in Jan.

If we are going to do anything in Jan feels like a full back is needed.

If Krafth can't get minutes in these circumstances then maybe time to trade his place in the squad for someone new.

I think Gordon can get more shots but requires rejigging the attack a bit.

Need more shots from midfield too. Ramsey could be part of the solution there when he plays.

To be fair I think a lot of this is about adjustment to his unique and fun style. And also some poor production from the wingers.

But yes, if we had known we were getting Woltemade earlier in the window then you would really buy a RW who shoots a lot more than Elanga does.

Half-formed thought but: I also think Brexit normalised the idea that parties can just disown their own record and go 'we are different now' even though it is just visibly the same people?

At least it did with the media/MPs so there is a lack of shame/accountability around it.

"The successful candidate will offer more than the minimum requirements of this position and must have been raised in a socially appropriate background."

Isn't this literally illegal???

Murphy actually done quite well in his minutes. Everyone else bang out of form.
