Hatrick from Jesse Lingaard.

Was just about to say this. I think he put in a first half of an actual pl midfielder and had ran himself out. Opposite to McArthur or whoever who had the stamina to last 90 minutes and took the absolute piss second half. We need Shelvey out if we stay up like, hopefully West Ham come in for him or some other daft cunt. I probably just noticed it in the second half so I'm being unfair. Can't really be bothered to watch it back now though.

I agree. Every other team has match winning quality with the exceptions of probably Brighton, Huddersfield and Swansea. It'll be three from us and that lot to go down. Our only hope is Slimani really. So our hope is based on our striker scoring goals? Pretty much like all the teams in the league then. The problem is, we've had some of the shittest strikers even seen in this league playing for us this season. So, teams only score when the striker scores? Pretty sure that's not how it works. Most good teams get plenty of goals from midfield as well. We don't though. At the moment our biggest goal threat is Lascelles because our strikers are awful. We do create chances for them though, so sticking a player up top who can put some of them away will undoubtedly benefit us. Between Joselu and Gayle we've probably missed 20 good chances this season already and most of our games are decided by one goal. So yes, Slimani could make a massive difference. We're not talking about good teams. We're talking about teams battling relegation. Every single one will require their striker to score goals. We've got the worst strikers in the league, so yes Slimani is key. Just saying.... Sigh..... the teams at the top aren't "hoping" to try and avoid relegation. So "all teams in the league" in the sentence with "hope" in it refers to those teams battling relegation. We're in a thread called "relegationmeter". It really didn't need the explanation. Fair enough. Sorry mate, i was just being a picky twat. It is Monday afterall No worries So am I to be fair ;-)

Thought during the game that Shelvey has been found out at this level. They just had someone on him at all times which restricted his passing. If he can't pass he's not really doing much more, so ended up being a complete passenger. Good as his passing is, he clearly needs to play for a much better team so he gets that space, but that'll never happen as he doesn't do anything else.

Really? His use of the ball was appalling. Mind, that goes for all the defence, so probably shouldn't single him out.

Toney?

I can barely remember him even touching the ball

Played with 9 men for the majority of the game so happy with a point.

The shirt pulling by every single player for that last corner man.

This could easily have been 6-1

He’s probably just quicker like.

Gayle gets 90 minutes despite doing fuck all

We’re so shit.

That not a pass back?

He’s hiding.

What was it then?

That was handball

It’s about the player coming on though, when people feel there’s a better option. Hardly a terrible complaint.

Hayden instead of merino? What’s going on?

Needs to happen asap

Any chance Clark can fuck off like?

Ritchie still on and Kenedy off? Weird decision.
