Let's put this to bed first leg. Make second leg a dead rubber.
Early goal and maul them.
0-5.
Next.

Summerville has his talents but is someth8ng of a on trick pony.

Run at defenders feint left, cut in to right and curl one inside far post.

Saints overcame this well in last game by having s3cond defender "trailing" slightly behind the play thus cutting of the inside jig - with no where else to go Summerville was bereft of further ideas.

Reading between lines from earlier in season I also think there are some character traits that are perhaps not helpful. In my view we should cash in during off season regardless of where we are going to be and reinvest in other positions.

He going anyway. Just depends where and for how much. Prem team will pay more than euro clubs.

Don’t forget 1970 Summerville is only 22. I’m not comparing him directly with Sadio Manè but he used to and probably still does score goals in this particular way. I would say it wasn’t until he was about 26 years old that Manè became so explosive for Liverpool with his pace and variety goals and that’s not forgetting his assists.

Jimmy has a long way to go to reach a similar outcome as Manè and I can see him improving a lot more with time. I still believe he can develop further at Leeds United and Farke but Firpo is no Andy Robertson and will need better players around him more and more to develop and hone those skills.

{Ed001's Note - you clearly didn't watch Mane at Southampton or Salzburg if you think that.}

Ed I wouldn’t dare to make any comparisons directly with Manè to our own player, obviously Manè was an exceptional player even when you rightly say in his early twenties at Southampton and Salzburg.
I perhaps shouldn’t have used the greatest African player of all time who I am a great fan of as football fan.
As Summerville is at the moment I see him with a lot more potential in his future and I personally feel that will be at a bigger club than Leeds Utd.
There have been rumours floating about for a while now of his potential transfer to Liverpool. I don’t think he’s good enough for Liverpool at this moment in time but Arnie Slot might know a little more about his compatriot and maybe interested?
I’d be interested in your thoughts and perspective on that, if any?, considering your already wealth of talent on the left with Diaz, Gakpo and Jota.

There’s several posters on here that don’t rate him and feel he has a bad attitude as you may have already read .

{Ed001's Note - Jota is very injury prone and Diaz lacks end product, so it only really leaves Gakpo. I have to say I am not convinced by the little I have seen of your player, but Slot will only have a small say in transfers. It is not going to be like Klopp, with him having the final say.}

Well here we go, let's hope they all get a good nights sleep and are have their heads together for tomorrow

Strap them on - here we go
MOT.

I'll be honest and admit that I have no idea how we are likely to go in the play-off games.

We have been putting in Jekyll and Hyde performances for many seasons now and you can never tell which team will turn up to play on the day.

I do however have a few very confident predictions:

1. There will be a mix of contributors saying "I told you so" or "you were wrong again" after the fat lady has sung.

2. I will be wishing I had a dollar for every time the word intent was used during the transfer window.

3. Regardless of what happens and what division we are in, we will all be back again next season to do it all again.

Long live the hot tub of hope and the prophets of doom but, as always, I will hoping and cheering for my team to win.

Excellent post Jungle 👏🏻👏🏻.

12 May 2024 11:50:36
Bang on Jungle! Here we go!

Just seen an interview with Rutter online re tomorrow's match. Seems calm enough!

11 May 2024 18:49:33
Question. Who shall take a PK against Canaries if Jimmy and Joel on pitch same time?

11 May 2024 19:50:28
Pointless question. A we probably won't get one, B who cares as long as we score.

11 May 2024 20:08:13
Wonder 🤔 what our team selection shall be tomorrow? Who cares 😅 as long as we win!

11 May 2024 21:17:24
Exactly.

11 May 2024 17:15:20
Question, has it ever happened before where a team has beaten top two home and away and not gone up? I’m hoping that if we can see off Norwich and get to Wembley, it will be a totally different game against either the saints or West Brom compared to the league games against them. It is a proper cup final then. I’m hoping it’s not going to be a repeat of the derby county scenario again. When the questions were asked and the players asked to dig in and get results, too many choked and disappeared. Also the supposed disharmony in the team at this crucial time couldn’t have came at a worse time. Get the early goal or a clean sheet is what’s required.

On the bright side the the coming down to championship are no great shakes. If we are still here next year that should help.

11 May 2024 16:49:16
Luton, Burnley, Blades relegated check

Easy corrrct prediction for Sir Baz

But all 3 will be in top 6 next season 1970.

11 May 2024 16:58:20
If we are not top six next year we will be the year after! Take from that what you will,

11 May 2024 17:21:50
1970 Your original post so wrong for following reasons.

1. They'll receive parachute payments.

2. They have no PSR concerns.

3. They all have good coaches.

4. Cumulatively, each one is tailor made to get promoted. Tailor made also for subsequent relegation once promoted but that's a side point. Beware of the yoyo club.

Next season in the Championship will be very tough.

11 May 2024 19:24:18
Every season in the Championship is tough George, but we won't be in it so why worry.

11 May 2024 20:09:52
No worries, just realism.

11 May 2024 21:13:04
GEORGY it must be great to be so confident in being right all the time!

12 May 2024 02:42:05
1970 Actually no. The unpopular opinion tends to offend and create enemies. Honesty isn't always the best policy. I truly hope I don't get to discover how intensely difficult the Championship is next season. Would much prefer 5 nil drubbings most weeks while observing our stadium 🏟️ expansion project begin.

12 May 2024 07:39:03
Guys, guys, I predicted that the 3 clear favourites to get relegated actually got relegated. Please validate how amazing I am at predictions. Lol.

12 May 2024 11:59:03
Lol dill. And no George, you create enemies thro a crass and childish sense of humour, sad attempts to belittle people, mocking individuals and subjects outside of football that people obviously care about, and forever seeking validation for your views which are often outlandish attempts to provoke. Just clarifying.

It is indeed crazy just how bad man utd have been this year ed.
I share in your astonishment.
It looks like you are even going to miss out on Europe. That’s another thorn in your side.
Seeing city probably winning the title again must hurt a lot too.
It’s really unfair when a team is pretty rich and crap too.
As for 10c. Didn’t he recently blame the youth?
