The problem with Buendia is he's tiny. You could tell just how small he looked compared to everybody else in the team when they were lined up for penalties. He's got skill of course, but whether that'll be enough at our level remains to be seen. From what I've seen so far this season, the youngsters coming through could well overtake him in the first team reckoning. Ramsey already looks better than him.
Yes - he looks good, but it feels like he could be the least important signing we made this summer

Think the fact we were shooting penalties towards the home fans didn’t help too. But maybe that’s just making an excuse.
Wasn't Ashley raging when the ref did the toss-up for ends? I think he did a best of three,bizarrely

I thought it looked fishy.

Regardless of outcome that is exactly what we need from streetwise senior pros. We have been too placid for decades

Doesn't help that he's being played at 10, on the right he's less likely to be crowded out.

Lacks pace for the right in our formation I think 🤔

Didn't he score in his last league game for us, bit of patience maybe. But after Sanson's performance tonight and even Traore, competition is hotting up.

Sat in the Caddogan Arms on the Kings Road nursing a £6.50 bottle of beer feeling very pleased with what I've seen tonight, despite losing the lottery at the end.

We have some seriously good kids.

How much!? I'd make that last all night.

How did JPB and Chucky do, please?

Chucky was a bit lost early on. Mount came on at half time and we were struggling in midfield until after they scored really. He came into it then. Very comfortable with ball at his feet. JPB similar enough, fearless with ball. Took a bit of a kick off Barkley and didn't really see much of him afterwards.

Bit harsh on JPB.He was sublime I thought.

Mix it with Carabao energy drink if you really want to throw up.

Most lagers and beers are vegan. The other press release for it was it was exclusively English ingredients and made with both pressed and steamed barley. So all English and costs alot more. Sounds like they are aiming for a certain crowd really.

The non-vegan bit is usually finings. I don't know how many modern beers use a non-aquatic substitute because modern life is rubbish.
