    Double pivot. FFS. Who came up with that bollox, probably the same twat who invented Xg and false 9's.
    😂🌞😂 Quality Tees I don’t like it either, or the XG bollocks, but I do try to speak to ppl using the language they do, especially if they’re swearing 😂

    Not always appreciated and definitely underrated, Curtis Jones’ stats from Friday.
    51/51 passes completed (100%)
    27/27 passes into the final third (100%)
    4/5 Ground Duels won (80%)
    1 shot 1 goal

    Very good squad player, excellent at keeping possession when we need to. Also keeps up home grown quota, should be looking to keep him.

    He is a very good squad player now and he’s homegrown and we’re very short in homegrown numbers so we simply must keep him and Bradley and any other HG of quality we have

    He's definitely a player we should retain. Makes no sense at all to sell him, he wouldn't want to leave anyway.
    We bring in a top class DM and we have what we need in midfield. I don't think Macallister will stay in his slump till next season.

    Agreed we really need him and he’s been consistently good this season and last

    The money gravenberchs now on he's got to be 1st teamer,not sure what that says about buying a DM. gravenberch and szoboszlai have to start in a 2 or 3 man midfield.

    If slots still in charge next season then it will be more of 4 2 3 1,gravenberch & szobo as the 6s.cant understand why we havent seen more of the partnership as macalistair is to slow to be a 6.

    You don’t need to be quick at No6 is you have a good press and counter press
