Decent performance away against a decent team, got done by individual errors and Palmer. We easily could’ve got something out of that. Only Man City can go there and be in complete control all match. Feel bad for Howe, backlash is unwarranted after that performance. He was once again let down by his players.

Hooper hasn’t given those at all today. Well done VAR, not hiding behind the the minimal contact.

No.

Would expect Pope to save that.

What the fuck Isak?

He’s extremely tidy and rarely loses possession, will not get caught out like Murphy often does.

He’s been fine and hard to blame him for the goal either, it’s just brilliance from Palmer. Tino takes one step to cut the likelier pass to Neto and Palmer launches it behind him inch-perfectly.

Hooper is not going to give us anything.

I really don’t think we’ve played badly at any point. They’ve had some dangerous counters but that will always happen. Same people crying about the high line would be asking ’where’s the press’ if we sat back.

TOO EAsY

This is his first bad half in ages, give it a break man.

What a ball that is by Palmer, Tino makes one wrong move and is out of it.

Weaker foot, damn.

Did you have working eyes between January 2022 and January 2023, Bobby?

I'm from the 'he did his job here' school but he was absolutely wank at NUFC and getting our money back was amazing business. His non-existent hold-up play was the biggest disappointment, expected that to be one of his strengths but all he could do was get his head on long balls without any controlled direction.

Lovely ball from ASM

If VAR worked like it should they could play on and the ref could give the foul later if necessary. All this ’respect the original call’, high threshold to intervene and having two separate referees (on-pitch and VAR) means no one knows anymore when VAR should intervene and 99% of the time everything depends on the original call. Which is hilarious considering the reason VAR even exists.

We were too big a club for him and he never had any self-confidence. It’s pretty clear based on his time at Burnley and Nottingham that he’s not as bad a footballer as he looked here.

I think there’s a reason why no team uses orthodox wingers anymore, there’s data available that shows inverted wingers is better. Murphy playing right is actually weird in the modern game.

They didn’t really create much though, the second half chances were there due to us pushing up and individual howlers from mostly Tino. Think it very much was a ”if he had scored” match, if we go up 1-0 we IMO batter them.

First reply says it’s actually €6000 which is still a lot less tbf. I think the biggest problem is the English obsession of big name players getting big managerial gigs almost instantly and obviously failing. That then taints the reputation of English coaches who have actually done their licenses but fail to get any big jobs.

Has Elon broken embedding again?

Goal was a massive blunder by Nathan Collins.

Why wouldn’t he get a new contract? It’s an absolute no-brainer as his transfer value is close to nothing, low wages, local lad who is a leader and still performing on the pitch. Edit. Should’ve probably quoted Sibierski.

Should've been Schär tbh. Schär scored a brilliant modern pen against Wimbledon and if Pickford does that stealing against him he scores 100/100. Not a fan of Isak's pens either, wish we addressed that and make them learn the patient technique and not just hoping the goalie jumps the other way.
