Dodged a bullet with Phillips...he's finished.

Crap player and looks disinterested

 

[johnjoeefc]

yes and a CF is to score
goals you ballon

Are we staying up this season matty?

 

[brownmola]

With his left foot too

Not even joking when saying that there are very few strikers who would have hit that any better with their weak foot.

Had the Bayern game in the back of their mind as well. Still not an excuse but remember watching the game and they took their foot off the gas a little second half and let Ipswich back in thinking they would just cruise it.

Well we did that as we always do . This time we wernt punished as they were very bad .

No lie, during the Euros the pundits were saying our system wasn't working because we didn't have a replacement for him. Think Southgate also said it himself.

Shows you just how much some of these pundits know about the game.

Keane scored and kept clean sheet. Oliver disallowed a pen. Blimey

Certainly enjoying my Saturday night beer again tonight. Sounded like a really professional performance, albeit some bad finishing by both teams in all fairness. Ndaiye seems a brilliant signing. In years gone by, the 'exciting' signings have been rubbish (Walcott, Iwobi,Siggi etc) but this lad looks quality.

Pleased we won but it was Ipswich who were as dire as Ed Sheeran….

….what a composed performance from Michael Keane, obviously a terrific finish but some vital headed clearances in those last 20mins gives him my MoM.

The fact Dyche picks him ahead of O’Brien is not because he’s a ‘pet’ or a ‘favourite’, it’s solely down to judgement. It’s a results business and Managers select what they believe is their best X1 available. Most of us would select differently but Keane justified his managers decision today.

Key for me was the CM partnership of Gueye/Doucoure. Dyche has tried to find the right formula, ironic that arguably the best we’ve looked is with the two old fella’s today. I was pleasantly surprised at how decent they were in possession, Gueye played well I thought.

Lots of very decent performances today, not many poor ones. Everybody seems to be very much playing for the cause, can enjoy a few rums tonight and a delightful Chinese takeaway to celebrate Mrs Eggs birthday.

Can see you are made up with today mate and yeah the three points are great to get.

But Ipswich looked every bit as bad as the promoted sides looked last year, saw them play west ham and they were terrible, same today.

I'm not gonna start doing cartwheels over Michael Keane having a good game v a championship calibre group of players.

If the centre mid didn't look decent v these then we are in serious trouble, we still had the same old issue of the last twenty playing to hold on, given the nature of the game before that, why? No subs besides the one predictable one.

Happy birthday to the Mrs though mate have a great night.

Before this match I saw Leif Davies and thought he was decent and heard good things about Jack Clarke. But, they got dominated by Young and Harrison today.

 

[overkill]

Young played fairly well again

….as you well know, I’m Keane’s worst critic but he was very composed today and certainly justified his Managers judgement.

I’m always wary of players who show improved form when their contracts are about to expire, I wouldn’t be offering him anything but seeing as though Davies was offered a new deal I can see it happening here.

I’m always chuffed when the Blues win. It’s daft for a 68 year old but it makes me feel chipper and the rum taste better. No easy games in this league as Ipswich showed at home to Villa, you still have to overcome the opposition.

I'm just glad Shears was there to witness it.

Gana and Doucoure playing deep filled me with dread before the game but they were both good! Doucoure was showing for the ball AND completing passes
