Hope we play Ndiaye up top at the weekend and just go at them.

Time to see Mr Dibling let loose. He will give Kerkez or Robertson nightmares. He already has in the league when it comes to Robertson.

19 Sep 2025 07:19:41
Expecting a very similar line up to the last couple of games, maybe Myk coming in.

19 Sep 2025 09:08:26
Would love that BN mate they are not at their best yet time we beat em buddy.

19 Sep 2025 11:45:39
If Garner is at LB again I can see Rohl starting alongside Gana.

I think Beto will start but would like to see Dibbling get a really decent amount of game time, as BN said, maybe moving Ndiaye up top if Beto not doing the biz.

Or dropping Dewsbury-hall back alongside Gana and Starting Dibbling

Great to have really decent options. Alcaraz as well.

18 Sep 2025 16:43:05
Going for w ell deserved 0-1 on Sat, that lot again won in extra time last night making that all five of their last games the same way, Ndiaye to score it.

18 Sep 2025 17:13:52
Beto will score on Saturday.

18 Sep 2025 18:42:59
Hope you are right mate.

18 Sep 2025 19:18:20
0-0 or 1-1.

18 Sep 2025 21:40:02
I'd happily take any positive result and if backed up with a good solid performance even better.

So it looks like JB and Myko could both be back to face the squatters. If so a few election headaches for Moyes. Which way would you go guys, JB back in for Keane? Or for Tarks as Keane has been great. Also if Myko slots back in do you put Jimmy Garner in the middle of the park or give Rohl a starting berth? Interesting choices.

This would be my team for Saturday:-

Pickford

O'Brien/ Keane/ Branthwaite/ Myko

Rohl/ Gana

N'Diaye/ Dewsbury Hall/ Grealish

Beto

Subs:- Travers/ Coleman/ Tarkowski/ Aznou/ / Garner/ Dibling/ Mcneil/ Alcaraz/ Barry

What are your thoughts on selection guys.

{Ed025's Note - for me it would be very harsh to drop Jimmy Col, i think hes been excellent mate..

17 Sep 2025 17:37:22
I would definitely play Myko at left back. He’s the natural choice and has played well against Salah before. I’d actually play Jimmy G right back and I wouldn’t drop Keane (I know) . Rohl should start ahead of Tim.

Pickford
Garner
Keane
Tarks
Myko
Gana
Rohl
KDH
Jack
N’Diaye
Beto.

17 Sep 2025 17:28:33
Yeh I was thinking that myself ED before I posted but this Rohl looks like he’s got something for me, wins duels, looks good with both feet and can cover ground very quickly and is always available for a pass, I just think I might be a better option with Gana to try and stop them dictating in midfield, me personally would be happy with either as Jimmy has definitely stepped up this season. Whoever he starts with I think we can give them a run for their money, we will get chances for sure but we must take them as we are not going to get 20 like we did against villa.

{Ed025's Note - i just think Jimmy knows what to expect in a derby atmosphere Col, im not against Rhol playing a part though as i think he could certainly do a good job for us mate..

17 Sep 2025 20:53:08
With regard Saturday, don't think Moyes will change it apart from replacing Tim.

17 Sep 2025 22:34:16
I think he will start Myko DMS, he’s a natural left back.

18 Sep 2025 12:04:17
Almost the same starting 11 as the villa game with just one change. Tim replaced by Merlin as he impressed. Moyes for me is very much a coach to stick rather than twist.

18 Sep 2025 16:10:02
squatters? do you actually know the reason behind everton leaving?

18 Sep 2025 16:21:45
Hahaha ??.

18 Sep 2025 19:26:37
We left because the rent went up and the landlord threw a hissy fit and tried to set up another team called Everton Athletic. The guy was obsessed with us, a bit like some of their supporters now who have set up accounts on the Everton page and are becoming regular posters….

18 Sep 2025 19:32:15
Seriously I never go on Lpool chat sites I mean why would you? Yet they seem obsessed by ours.

18 Sep 2025 21:00:18
One or two scrape through, bmd. Imagine going on another teams site and having to register just to talk sh*te ? Rd is the worst for it, think after a few beers he just can't help himself!

{Ed025's Note - you dont actually have to register on here to post BP, anyone from other teams can post on any teams pages mate as long as you are registered on Transfer Rumours of course..

19 Sep 2025 01:08:55
I'd not be in a rush to push for either to start after the stop start nature of both their injuries the last 4 mobths. If truly fit then dead cert they play but maybe being on the bench is a sensible start to them getting back to starters. Cup game Tuesday will mean plenty of minutes for Tarks MK JB and Myko. The fixture means we want it badly but JB especially is going to be way off match sharpness. Tarks was getting back to his form last time out and would be poor man management to drop either.

18 Sep 2025 23:03:47
Right you are ed25, thought they would have to register on our pages to post. Still a bit sad mate, why would you bother? Bad enough keeping up with our own issues!

{Ed025's Note - most of it is just a bit of banter between rival supporters BP but you do get the odd dick head mate..

20 Sep 2025 00:03:25
you left because you couldn't afford it.

17 Sep 2025 15:46:38
Hey Ed 025 regards Beto and Barry where do you stand in this debate that has been going on, I'm not convinced with either Beto or Barry but would hope with Barry once he settles in with a few games under his belt he might start scoring, regards Beto no one can say he's not getting the service now with our new players that have been brought in but he let us down in our last game against Villa last week once again by missing two really good chances in the first 8 minutes that looked like it was actually harder to miss than score, we are stuck with both of them till at least Jan, if we have aspirations of Europe next year these missed chances will come to haunt us mate.

{Ed025's Note - im with you GB im not a fan of either of them mate, i watched Vlahovic for Juve last night and thats how you finish, i live in hope that they will both contribute and that the scoring will be spread about a bit with the midfield getting their fair share..

17 Sep 2025 17:40:55
Really hope so mate we have our best Team in years be a great shame to miss out out on Europe, we need strikers who can score.

{Ed025's Note - im not even considering Europe at this stage GB, lets secure our safety first then see where where we end up from there mate..

17 Sep 2025 18:40:25
Only 35 more points to go Ed….

{Ed025's Note - it may be a lot less than that BR, i want us to be top half by January and then make a couple of signings and see if we can push on from there mate..

17 Sep 2025 20:01:28
Would hope for top 10 at least mate.

17 Sep 2025 20:51:17
Lets learn to walk first eh!

18 Sep 2025 12:47:01
We have a very realistic chance of finishing top 10 we now have a Team that are capable of that, just the striker issue to resolve.

19 Sep 2025 01:13:13
Just enjoy to evolution and save the expectations of lofty Europe qualifications for down the road, unless we find a striker and RB in January of course. But realistically I'm just enjoying the football and the future being brighter.

16 Sep 2025 16:14:02
Burnley should be suing man city the premiership not Everton If ever man city get away with 115 charges it's a joke.

17 Sep 2025 13:30:41
Burnley need to concentrate on trying to compete in this league instead of getting pumped every time there in the premier league hood winking their supporters and they haven't got many looks like their preparing for relegation yet again yoyo club.

16 Sep 2025 13:08:38
Hi Ed's what's the chances that Burnley will get £50m from us that they want for them getting relegated.

{Ed025's Note - i would like to say no chance Penysarn, but i dont really know mate..

16 Sep 2025 14:13:01
Thanks mate it’s just that it’s raised it’s head again ?.

{Ed025's Note - i would fight it tooth and nail mate..

16 Sep 2025 18:23:17
On what grounds, where did it raise its' head. Load of dangles anyway no chance.

16 Sep 2025 19:01:05
It won't happen but I would go down the Chelsea route and say it happened under previous owners.

16 Sep 2025 20:16:51
Was reading Burnley can expect £0 to £10 million in compensation, can’t see how they can ever prove it myself.

16 Sep 2025 22:21:50
The previous case around West Ham and Sheffield Utd ended up with a settlement so a precedent was set then. I expect the same to happen to us.

The City and Chelsea situations will be interesting though as whatever happens to us should happen to them. I can see a whole lot of clubs mounting legal challenges if that is the case and it will all become a mess. We could even make a bit of whatever we pay Burnley back through that avenue.

However, this is the Premier League and it is a brand. They will not want to see two of their biggest names dragged through mud as it will hurt their image. Because of this, I have the feeling nothing will happen to them which could imply nothing happens to us. The West Ham situation could have a line drawn under it as the players were ineligible rather than the finances.

Who knows? Answers on a postcard.

Give it a few years and the league will no longer exist as it does due to the Euro superleague that is on its way.

Does anyone remember a time when football was an equal playing field and any club could challenge for glory rather than become selling clubs? The modern game is full of greed and the inequality seen in clubs income and expenditures is ruining the game.

17 Sep 2025 15:08:31
I watched talk sport, the chap they had on there said it would be from 0 to the very highest 10 million so probs more like 5 to 6 mill which they would of already had in place if punished when the take over was done, so we don't need to panick as half of the rubbish they write is again click bait to I don't open any and it shouldn't have any effect going forward.

17 Sep 2025 19:19:39
As they are saying that the point deduction should have been in the season they were relegated then we should pay them compensation. We are putting forward that we didn't choose when the points should be deducted then we can't be held accountable for this charge and we will probably get away with it. They were going to sue the EPL on this charge first, as they would likely lose this point by suing us as it wasn't nothing to do with our decision.

The other part of it relates to the sporting advantage of us spending more. However, our issue related to interest payments not allowed to be removed. We are arguing that we found this out in the December and not at the start of the reporting period and it was included the season before. The EPL won this against us stating we could have sold players in January.

On the second charge we will probably win as the oversight was nothing to do with player purchases so no sporting advantage was gained.

I doubt it will get to court and a settlement will be paid. If it goes to court and they lose then they'll have to pay millions in court costs and solicitors.

16 Sep 2025 08:50:21
Beto will start sat if fit, Barry needs time, loads of players need time especially if young. Some people need to remember that. I agree that Vardy on 1 year deal would've been good, bit who said he wanted to come here? He has a tidy deal in a lovely part of Italy.

Im not against Ndiaye up front as Dibbling or Alcaraz fit nicely into the attacking 3 behind.

I'd definitely start with Rohl on Sat, especially if Garner is at LB again.

16 Sep 2025 12:46:09
Would disagree with Beto we kept saying if Beto DCL etc had the service they would improve, well Beto certainly now gets the service but he has not improved, myself I would give one of our up and coming talents in the under21s a chance can’t do any worse surely, we have such a good Team now and playing excellent footy, but with the final cog missing a duff striker that we need to change even if it means we go with a false no 9,just my opinion mate.

16 Sep 2025 13:39:19
WTF is a false 9 anyway, can someone explain. If it is a player coming in from deep or the flanks we already have that happening. What position does a BETO not No9 occupy.

16 Sep 2025 15:50:32
The way I see it a false no9 is a Centre Forward who drops deep into midfield getting defenders out of position and then this makes space for the rest of the team to exploit.

16 Sep 2025 18:28:29
Guernsey, which u21? Who has been so good they cannot be ignored? How many have played top flight or senior lower level football?

16 Sep 2025 18:29:04
What kind of football have you false 9 advocates been playing. Because it happens all the time and always has. It is just another midfielder.

16 Sep 2025 18:44:04
Braiden Graham he’s been getting some very good accolades on his play, it’s only my opinion Bunkbeds but we can’t keep putting Beto in while he can’t even hit a barn door mate.

16 Sep 2025 20:29:49
This "false 9" Davey said this and that came from a NewsNow article, where "Davey" hasn't said anything yet again a load of tripe and posted on here as gossip! . The article and suggestion was made by another reporter due to Russell Martin ex Southampton manager being quoted over 12 months ago that Dibling could play as a false 9 as done it in training. Really is embarrassing what people read and repost and gets lapped up and made out our manager " Davey" has said such.

16 Sep 2025 20:34:21
So throw a untried kid in against the world's best defender GB and have the guy that gave him his hardest game last season on bench?

16 Sep 2025 21:19:03
Yep what a stage for the lad.

16 Sep 2025 22:31:33
Guernsey, I get that Beto isn't the answer but neither is playing a youngster like Brandon Graham. If so it would happen a lot more than it does, across most top flight teams.

Jan or next summer i'd expect change but until then hopefully Beto can get us some goals.

17 Sep 2025 07:50:40
Hope you are right Bunkbeds mate.

17 Sep 2025 12:44:22
Worlds best defender?

17 Sep 2025 13:49:56
Me too GB Bud.

17 Sep 2025 14:10:45
Fans often use Rooney as an example of a young player that was thrown in. He was an exceptional talent. Who put him in? Moyes. If Moyes thought we had an equivalent talent, I’m sure he’d put him in. The fact that Graham doesn’t even make the bench should suggest he’s not ready. Expect Beto to start and occupy the CBs as he has done before. Free up space for Grealish and Ndayie.

17 Sep 2025 19:26:22
Probably because he was the last kid to come through and have any impact, jb. The young lad Graham looks very promising, maybe he isn't ready for first team but just putting him on the bench could be a kick up the arse for the other two. We had a great summer window in terms of getting in players of better quality than we had last season, it's just a shame that we couldn't get a new forward in as well. Especially with selling Chermiti, it has left us a bit light in that department which means there isn't too much pressure on the two up top to perform week in week out. Really hope we address this in January, along with a RB as well. Maybe a bit greedy of me but I think that will help us attack the top end of the table in the new year rather than hovering in the lower reaches of the league like the last few seasons.

{Ed025's Note - amen to that BP..

17 Sep 2025 20:02:40
With you on that be mate.

18 Sep 2025 10:27:06
Putting Graham on the bench is massively different to starting him in a Derby.

16 Sep 2025 07:39:03
{Ed's Note - Danny Pughnited has posted a new article entitled, If It's Broke At Manchester United - Fix It

17 Sep 2025 22:47:17
Having just announced a record profit after all that noise about cutting lowly paid staff, I feel Utd are more of a mess than I realised. Seems like a poorly run club these days.

{Ed001's Note - I thought they made a £33m loss not a profit? Revenue is what was at record levels.}

18 Sep 2025 06:09:49
Sorry Ed, I must have misread the article.

There seems to be something massively wrong going on with United at the moment. If their revenue has increased to the highest it has been, how are they in such dire straights. It reminds me of Moshiri trying to spend his way out of trouble on average players and managers. Their cost cutting strategy targeting the community of employees not on big bucks and announcing plans for a new stadium whilst suggesting tax payers should pay for it is far from the powerhouse of the 90s or 00s.

{Ed001's Note - they have been trying to cut the players' salary bill as well, but that takes time when you have dross that no one will buy.}

18 Sep 2025 19:28:26
We know that situation all too well. I can only hope those days are behind us now.
