His time here is now done I think, at the age he is combined with all his injuries. No longer good enough to be back up to Isak and I feel bad saying that, but that's football. As it is, I think the club will offer him a new 1 year 'pay as you play deal' - because of PSR.

I don't get why we never try Barnes on the left when Gordon is playing. Gordon was having a really poor game even before the mistake and yet still plays 90 mins yet Barnes is probably our 2nd most dangerous attacker after Isak gets zero minutes on the left. So strange. Worse yet he brings him off for Willock who then plays wide left even though he's not a winger. I'd be really frustrated if I was Barnes.

Stinker.

Not necessarily. I don't think folk are saying he's shite, just that he needs to get his head out his arse and show the same attitude as previous seasons *and not the attitude he had when he first arrived - which he is now displaying again).

But he never plays

We played well, then they scored and it got difficult with us chasing the game and out of options.

Too slow to offer much threat.

Hopefully Howe will consider starting Gordon up top, he is good at pressing the centre backs and can play off the shoulder using his pace

If you had the Murphy commitment with the Gorden talent you would have one of the best wingers in the world .

He's one of those that's a way better player when he doesn't play than when he does

Ran out of juice without the prime citrus fruit to work with.

Very impressed with how we played on the whole, bossed them

Well it’s not as simple as that. We could’ve scored 2+ goals today for example. Of course we’ve got a much better chance if he’s ready. Assume that’s why he was rested today.

Really? I wouldn't say that. Maybe we don't deserve to win but a draw seems fair to me. If Tino had an end product we would be flying.

Dunno - switched off

Goes missing too often. Absolutely sick of him going down all the time as well. His head-loss ahead of the cup final was shambolic as well. The manager, a senior player or coach at the club needs to have a word with him, because he can’t go into next season with the same petulant attitude that he has had this season.

They did create first half but we were the better team. But we didn't act like we wanted to win after the break, looked more like we where defending a one goal lead.

Seems he did the same at Everton as well which is why they all hate him.

Rotten this afternoon.

100% - Barnes has to start on the left / Murph on the right.

What a weird thing to post. He had the ball about twice and did nothing wrong before being moved to the wing. Agree we need another striker of course.

We aren’t beating anyone with Wilson starting. He’s absolutely done.

No disgrace in the defeat or performance. Worth remembering that they are still a very good side. What it does highlight though as that we are really lacking quality strength in depth and Callum Wilson's time at the club is done. He's too past it to be support to Isak. All on Everton next week then, which is what we thought it would be.

Let him dive to the fucking bench!

hahahahahahaha
