I do not understand hand ball rules.

Argh man. That early blitz in that match - thats the team I thought we'd be seeing barnstorming the legue this season with that cunt of a stirker leading the line (obv playing far better than he did this day!). Fucking go for leather, Eddie man.

Tigz was massively popular in the dressing room if I recall too. Didn’t he randomly play right back for us too as a sub?

Love this for Miley and the club. another semifinal!!!

he's too young to be this fragile

i have genuine questions of our owns after having sat thru all the shit years that they do not have any bit of patience of rocky periods during a clearly talented manager's tenure and not look at the circumstances that got us here and the impact of those incidents. You don't just chop and change things for the sake of it based on short term thinking, and yes, that includes being upset about away form for 12 months. The body of Howe's work has been top 7 in the league; league cup has been quaterfinal 4 seasons in a row, 2 ending up with final appearances and 1 trophy, 2 CL births, countless memories and such. I prefer stability and trusting the man to put in the time and work to get it right over the medium and long term.

league cup quaterfinal tomrorow night and we've got a great tie at home, bring the noise and back the boys.

If our own fanbase that clamors and hoots and hollers over ticket allocations, etc cant be up for a cup quaterfinal under the lights at home, then they need serious looking in the mirror like. Its not a night out midweek like, give the ticket to someone who is going to bring the noise and support the team.

meant to be is one thing, performing is the other. Barnes is doing it to some extent right now. We need the performing week in and out.

I don't even care about having all this possession like City, i do not care if we play pressing and intense football where we go for leather and put teams out of sight and then play proper defensive shapes and kill games off. I just think there a ton of players who have seriously let the manager down. If you're incapable of keeping the ball in play on a dribble, receiving the ball to lay off, making a run and completing a pass, tracking a man, etc. and you're a professional footballer making a ton of money you can get in the sea, like.

Yep, been saying this for a while. Our wingers work with an Isak type, maybe a Wissa. But they won't work with Woltemade. They have to be dynamos that carry their own threat every single match and can't just be anonymous. Barnes works for now with Nick as he links up play and is a goal threat. But eventually our 2 starting wingers need to be a Semenyo, Raphinha, Rafa Leao type.

I expect a great response by the squad on Wednesday, Saturday and boxing day like. Those who didn't "show up" for the match on the pitch will know very well the hurt that it caused and i back our leaders in Howe, JT, Jones and the leadership group to right that.

Yep you don’t really know until you try and move on it and it not just be an impact injury. I really thought that tackle speed and angle Nordi came in was fucking dangerous like. And pulling out by using your knees made it even worse

It’s not uncommon to miss or not play that cross field pass. The issue is it was as clear and easy chance we’re gonna get and a player of his ball playing ability has to make that pass in a fine margin game. I feel for him today as he’s a good young lad who will be hurting about today. He has to up his intensity and be more aware of the stakes in derby matches.

Nordi is a fucking cunt like. Absolute dickhead.

More scum asking for cards

How often is Ballard going to dive?

That tackle was fucking dangerous like.

Im crazy but I think he’s good enough to do this from the right.

Fine margins is a term used a lot these days but we’re a club defined by it at the moment. 15 seconds of madness combined over 2 CL games an we’re 3rd and likey as likely to auto qualify as you get. Some achievement for a squad that’s been gasping for new signings having dealt with a sucker punch from Alex Isak over the summer and constant upheaval in the club that has been no fault of the players.

you just wish a keeper of his supposed experience makes that late save though you know?

Tonali, our def and Ramsdale for their equalizer. Totally avoidable.

Nobody tracked Grimaldo. Ramsdale should have made that save.

I don't see how we would have pushed out and kept them at bay, they were chasing the game.

i said recently, not last season.
