What a day! Was hugging with strangers after the 3rd and 4th, absolute carnage. Read through the whole thread and thought Burn wasn’t getting enough praise, think he misplaced one pass all game and was pretty much perfect for the rest of it. Hall looked really good too but West Ham just giving up on attacking probably helped him. Both penalties looked soft on highlights but Gordon is so fucking good at getting his feet in there right in time to to get those penalties. Can’t blame him for taking advantage of the rules.

I had a great view of the first goal and he was pretty much standing on the spot where Antonio took his first touch when the pass was played but for some reason he backed off meaning it was a simple finish for Antonio. Pretty confident Pope saves the second goal too. Pope is a massive miss right now, the back up for next season has to be someone who is confident sweeping those through balls.

GET THE FUCK IN!!!!

Yeah, there’s no logic in thinking that an addict would just stop betting after getting a move to another club and country. IMO it would be more likely it just gets worse with all the changes in life and added stress.

Shame I'll miss this but will be in Newcastle between 28th of March and 3rd of April. Would be interested in any meet up as I'm coming alone once again and don't have really any plans outside the West Ham and Everton matches..

Is it fuck?

He changed the fucking formation for this game ffs.

We are playing away against the best team in the world ffs. Was a fine half, just incredibly unlucky with the deflections.

0.71xG (majority of that after 2-0 down) isn’t bad against Man City and we had one good chance and some promising attacks ourselves too. No idea how someone can criticise Howe for this. Willock closes down Silva properly and Botman keeps his head away from the ball and it’s 0-0.

Hilarious stuff from you.

Go away.

Willock gave him way too much space to just walk in to the box, wrongly positioned.

Leverkusen through.

No idea how Thuram wasn’t sent off in the age of VAR.

Yeah, I would be happy if he gets chosen as a reward for his form over the season. He’s not going to play 2 full 90 minutes in any case and there wouldn’t really be that much more strain put on his body compared to if he stays with our group. Just the mental boost he would gain would IMO make it worth it.

It’s definitely genetic, some people just don’t get injured no matter how much load they put on their bodies. We are lucky that some of our most important players like Bruno, Gordon and Schär seem to be like that. I know Bruno had ankle problems but that was just bad luck.

Think Pope saves the first two goals. First one Dubs is ridiculously slow to get down and on second one he's guessing far corner for some reason.

It's way better than hiring fucking Jose Mourinho in 2024.

Nee way.

Decent ratings but 6.5 to Willock seems really generous compared to the others.

Aye, good spot.

Nah. Stay focused.
