I think Nunez is a dilemma for Slot.

Work rate and passion 10/10
Finishing 2/10

But his main job is to score goals.
He gets chances but he’s not up to it .imo

He's like the keeper who is great with the ball at his feet but can't stop a shot. Ultimately, what is their role in the team

 

[Lord Tyrion]

@Bazz I'm watching some of the Leicester game. Surely, surely you can finish higher than them. They really are poor, Brentford have walked through them a couple of times already. You guys comfortably look better than them (although I appreciate that needs to convert to points)

Agree with this.

And is there a crapper centre back in the Premier League than Wout Faes?

What’s the dilemma? 2/10 from your own support is damning, get rid simple.

Watching this game, getting more confident Man Utd will at least finish above Leicester in league

 

[Don Barzini]

Leicester really, really, really should not have sacked Cooper.

 

[Billysboots]

I’m delighted to see Van Nistelrooy doing such a fine job of keeping United in the Premier League. Nobody said he had to actually be at United to do it, did they?

 

[Swango1980]

Wow. A footballer who scores with his arm, and doesn't actually celebrate. At least there is one who knows the rules

 

[Don Barzini]

Has a manager ever been sacked at half time before…?

Martin Jol at Spurs was

Okoli. The new worst defender in the PL.

Just shows the gulf between Championship and Premier League, I thought he looked class last season.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Burnley not conceded a goal in last 13 games in league

 

[3 jabber]

You've not watched any Southampton games then?

I so want him to come good, he ssems to scare defences with his pace and power but his finishing is so hit and miss. I can't help but feel he's like Origi was. Had momenets but overall just didnt cut it. The problem is, those moments are so important.

We should be sent straight to league 2 if we don't finish above them.

 

[Fade and Die]

Todays pearl of wisdom.

Regardless of the actual scoreline Arsenal are 11/8 with Ladbrokes to score 3 goals or more .
A licence to print money if ever I saw one.

It’s a bit of a mess tbh.
They are trying to have an exclusion zone for traffic but the way it’s been built there’s a lot of small buisnesses on one side within 500yds of the stadium.
It’s where PXG have their fittings.

Far to many roadworks and a alternative one way system.
Needs a lot of sorting out.
But from Everton park it looks awesome .

Interview on BBC website with local business owners near the ground, which anyone who knows the area will know there are many. A traffic exclusion zone around the stadium would be a death blow to customers using these businesses. It's not far out from city centre but far enough to need a car to get to.
This hasn't been thought through at all.

I'm going 2-0 Everton.
