Danny

Not surprising that he wants to repay the club, I don't think that was ever going to be in doubt tbh. But it is nice to hear him say it out loud, partly because we want him but also partly because it strengthens our bargaining position be it now or in the Summer.

He was recalled so they could sell? That is brutal. Almost as brutal as us loaning AFC Wimbledon a player who became their best player for half a season, recalled him in the January and then loaned him out to MK Dons…in the same division

That result reminds me of Arsenal United earlier this season, not an own goal but a stroke of luck for Rice’s shot deflecting in and they managed to win a game that had a draw written all over it by two goals catching United on the break. That win gave Arsenal a massive boost, maybe this will give Liverpool one going into Afcon territory.

Lovely from Diaz, real nice finish. This game had a draw written all over it and a bit of luck has swayed it.

Fair play to the ref, quite a few hard but fair challenges and a couple dives we’ve seen from Odegaard and Diaz on soft challenges and he’s kept the game flowing. Great stuff

Shearer said Arsenal should have been 3 or 4 up after about 20 minutes…the half ended with Arsenal having an xg of 1.50. Other than Odegaard hitting the bar and Nelson early on theres not much to say they should have 3 or 4 lol.

Probably but the Daily Mail advertised a podcast of his called Common Sense over Christmas.

I actually think it’s number 2

We were after him in the Summer, though I’m not sure how desperately as we really wanted a winger

Having Toney, Dasilva and Damsgaard back now will be a massive boost.

Should have stayed at Liverpool and accepted the squad role

I think Newcastle’s has more white than usual, I think Sunderland’s was fine tbh.

They play in home kits everytime I think. But it does look confusing.

Interesting move, feel like he could do a job for Spurs under Ange and that's the sort of manager/club he should have moved to instead of Chelsea. With that said he's not having a good season so far...

Yeah I didn’t have high hopes for winning it, both Damsgaard and Dasilva making their first starts in a while, Lewis-Potter at left wing back, Dasilva playing up front with Maupay. And then Norgaard gets injured and so we lose his creativity too. The team is just very disjointed at the moment, I think we’ve played 7 different players at wing-back now this season and played about 5 different centre back partnerships and 6 or so different strike partnerships. We just keep having players return from injury and then instantly have players get injured. If you look at Wolves they’ve been able to play the same 8 or 9 players every match this season so even going down to ten men they still have cohesion and know how they are going to play. I was just happy to see Damsgaard and Dasilva return as it’s desperately needed. We could do with more back and definitely do with Norgaard not being out for long. I’d be happy to exit the Cup and just get the run outs, but now we are another man down and have a replay to contend with.

A studs up stamp down on Norgaards ankle. It sort of starts at the bery bottom of his shin and ends towards the ankle, but I think because of his studs aiming up as he goes in, hes been given a red. I think its a orange card as Gary Neville would say. Wolves were annoyed we didn’t get a red card which I also think is an orange card, but less of a red than Gomes’ as its much more focused on just stepping down onto their players foot/ankle.

Doyle has scored an absolute screamer to level Wolves. That's the second Manchester City loanee this season to score like that against us whilst not playing against Manchester City. The other was McAtee at Sheffield United.

I know people slag him off but if you listen to managers who coach him, they generally love him. I think it was Mourinho that spoke about his commitment, work ethic and desire in training and when he played. There’s clearly something happening there that behind the scenes fans don’t get to view much of.

Thats a man who texts him. The man who texts him says the exact same stuff the man on twitter says

Gomes red card and Norgaard off injured. Last thing we need is another injury. Team is: Maupay - Dasilva Damsgaard - Janelt - Jensen Lewis-Potter - Collins - Zanka - Pinnock - Roerslev Strakosha

ERECTION SELECTION LETS GO. I think this is a 4-3-3 but honestly who the fuck knows because there's three centre backs there. It could be a back three with maybe...Damsgaard at wing back? Who knows. Still, Josh Dasilva being back is sexual. Damsgaard starting is sexual. Dasilva and Damsgaard in the same eleven? Sexual. We might get pumped tonight, this is Dasilva's first game of the season, Damsgaard has barely started and Lewis-Potter and Maupay is not an established forward line. But fuck me it's good to see some players back playing together. Lewis Potter - Maupay - Dasilva Damsgaard - Norgaard - Jensen Collins - Zanka - Pinnock - Roerslev Flekken

I've been watching the highlights of Arsenal games since the Villa loss and I've gotta say Declan Rice has been at fault, or partially to blame alongside another, for about 5 of the 9 goals conceded in that period

Is it going to be quiet or busy? What'd you think you need? Outgoings For Brentford, Thomas Frank came out recently to re-iterate that Toney is unlikely to leave unless a silly bid comes in for him. I can't see anyone making that bid but you never know how desperate Arsenal, United or Chelsea will become come deadline day when they need a goalscorer to try and win the league/qualify for Europe. Incomings It's pretty clear that we need to strengthen our defence, if we can go the rest of the season with Hickey at left back and Ajer at right back then we will be comfortable but we just don't have the cover should they get injured. I think at least one full back that can stay fit would be a good option for us. We're linked with Real Betis' Assane Diao who is a winger that has seriously high defensive stats on FBREF, so maybe he will be brought in to cover both the wing back position and the forward positions. We are about to sign Emre Konak when he turns 18 this month, he looks talented and has played a lot of games in Turkey for such a young player but really I've no idea how that will turn out or where he will play in midfield. The club were pretty set on signing a forward in the Summer and I think we'll carry on with that, likely a winger. It could be Diao, it could be him and another winger or it could be someone else entirely. But with Toney expected to leave in the Summer and it being likely that Wissa/Schade end up playing through the middle at times, and with Bryan Mbeumo being out for 3 months now...I don't think signing 2 wingers this January would overload the squad, if anything it'll take the load off of Keane Lewis-Potter and will stop us from having to play Wissa out-wide as he is a centre forward by trade and has played his best games for us there. Overall If we can end the window with a young and capable wing back I'll be happy. A midfield and wing-back options would be nice, and it maybe that Konak plays more for us than I'd expect, but I wouldn't be that bothered waiting until the Summer to strengthen there. but wing-back is a priority. On Toney I'll be happy if he stays as that's guaranteed goals till the end of the season, but I'll be happy if he leaves as that would only happen with a bid around £80m which seems unlikely.

Funnily enough we’ve only signed one Dane in 4 seasons. I think it was a good market to explore when we were in the Championship and Benham also owned a Danish club then had the coaching staff links too, but we’ve not dipped into that for a while! (obviously he’s Turkish)

Deal getting done for around £4m apparently. Not sure where he plays tbh but glad to see some incoming players. Highlights against Fener show him as a 6, youth team games have him much further forward. He's made 17 appearances this season and turns 18 this month. Think he'll float between the B Team and the first team bench for now. https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1742906472848060447?s=20
