Haha that is phenomenal, I got back from a pub where I was watching the match not too long ago and I am absolutely excited about the result. But as I said is that I feel a lot more confident about this good start than last year's because I think the talent is legitimately there where we are able to consistently be pretty competitive in big matches. Looking at our bench as it is right now, I've very rarely felt a moment of worry when someone comes on like I did when that person was Matty Jarvis.
You guys been hearing any recent rumors about us being acquired? Seems to be some smoke swirling on KUMB.
Rumor has it that Payet, Reid and Moses may all be available for Liverpool TBH though, I'd actually rather have Antonio out there than Moses. Probably been the best player in our attack with since Payet, Lanzini and Sakho got injured. Dude has been creating a lot with his pace, strength and work rate. Would really like to see what he can do with some one like Payet firing through balls to him.
He had a great game on Monday but I still prefer Vic Mo. Antonio is very talented, but very raw still. He's had a couple chances to do something awesome in the final third and lacked the finesse to get it done.
Not trying to throw any hate at Moses, as he's performed very well at times this season. I like Antonio a lot mostly because he reminds me of Sakho a bit, but with a winger's skill set. Both have a very good combination of strength and a high work rate, which opens up a lot of opportunities in the final third. I would like to see what he can do with Payet around him, because a lot opened up in the second half when Lanzini came on in the second half, and his comfort with the ball opened up quite a bit. Antonio also has incredible pace, which is never a bad thing.
Agree with most of what you said. Amazing how much the flow of the game changed when Lanzini came on.
Well done today, lads. Normally I think your club is pretty gay but you brought a smile to my face this fine morning.
Martin Samuelsen on loan at Peterborough scored an incredible winner to beat Sheffield United today. Really excited about him, Oxford and Borg.
I've typically hated Andy Carroll just because his goal scoring record is not that great but god damnit I love him with his new hair. Sucks lanzini is injured but with Collins playing like the best centre back in the world, Tomkins being better than jenko, and payet being back I really think we can challenge for a euro spot. That is awesome considering my preseason ambition was essentially to just stay up. The owners have done a fantastic job and slav has done a fantastic job. Amazing how before Southampton it was winless in 8 and now we're unbeaten in seven. COYI
Signed Sam Byram from Leeds for £3.7 million today. Really like him, seems to be very versatile with a lot ability to get forward from that right back position. Also had 130 league appearances for Leeds at 22. Big fan of this signing, I hope he can emulate a lot of what Cresswell has done since making a similar move. Also Sullivan stated that we're in play for a loan deal with a striker currently in a smaller league with bigger league experience. Emmanuel Emenike sounds like he is most likely person Sullivan was referring to, however Asamoah Gyan, Alexandre Pato, Moussa Sow and our old friend Demba Ba are other names being circulated as the player Sullivan was referring to.
Payet is a god. Really no other way of spinning it. If you can get anything else around that deity it's just straight Rich Homie Tron $$$$. I can't hate him, I just rewind, dream and reflect. Outside my following, he and LC are my favorite parts of the season bar none.
I saw the Batshuayi rumors, a little hesitant about getting optimistic, but not impossible since the board has alluded to a desire to drop major dollars before going into the Olympic Stadium. However, it'd be an absolute robbery if we got both Payet and Batshuayi off of Marseille.
me and Rich Homie Tron are going to see west ham when they play in raleigh in 2 weeks when will a traveling roster possibly be released?
I'm supposed be going too if I can get some people to go with me. I'll probably just end up going by myself though. Still gonna be worth it.
