Play the bairns. Not because we can't beat them, but it's just too many fixtures - and you've still got all about 5 other cartel teams with bye weeks. Got to pick your battles.

Good cross for Barnes header too.

Just don't think he has the mobility needed and he's injured too often. IMO.

I'd sell for what we can get.

Ideally we draw Man City next round, and then also draw them in the knockout stages of the CL and face them seven times this season for the lulz.

That's a Joelinton header without a push in the back

After the club's handling of Isak-gate, even leaking rumours about interest in him will be win-win for the cartel.

Utter lunatics

Weren't we once 3-1 down against Leeds and won 4-3 with Solano leading the way?

I actually liked the commentary. Unsurprising when we win 4-3 in the 102nd minute.

What a wild, wild game. So many incredible momentum shifts. The ref was an utter knob, but I actually thought Leeds deserved such credit for their first half display. Joelinton went through his own odyssey there. From almost getting sent off and murdering the ref in front of 52,000 people - to scoring an amazing header (which if we're honest, knowing him and his hearing ability, was a complete mishit because he was pushed ). At that point, it was clear Leeds/the ref had made a huge mistake. They'd poked the bear, they'd made the crowd angry - and the ball was inevitably going to be sucked into the Leeds net to send us up 3-2. But then poor Schar went down. So - the man for all seasons, for all positions - Lewis Miley went to centre back. And he was low-key the best CB we had today Right old Busquets. And all the inevitability of a NUFC win was lost. And they score. But we climb back in for that finish after a whirlwind of fixtures. To have that effort left in them. To see bodies battered, bruised and broken strewn across the pitch at FT. Bloody hell. What a game. What a win. Can see why Leeds haven't been beat in a while.

Fraction of the price too. I guess Palace will say they got a cup out of keeping Guehi before letting him go for nowt/below market value.

Palace now actively shopping Guehi

Low quality game. Lots of fixtures, so three points are the most important. Bit of a turgid watch.

That selfish shite Gordon only playing well again I see when he's playing against the sovereign state of Crystal Palace. Sell him for peanuts I reckon.

Lovely video. Bellamy vs Villa might be my favourite of that bunch. Thanks for putting it together.

Howe has shown negligible interest in building a side which relies on technical ability. Not in word or deed. He's spent a buttload at this point.

Much needed 3 points. A draw wouldn't have been an unfair result. Burnley really lacked quality apart from their goal which was really well taken. Another troubling performance tbh.

My bigger question is why we're engaging with an energy-sapping basketball match with Burnley. Howe wyud

Gordon misses that Barnes chance and the usuals would be in about his "body language dowing tools for Liverpool" and all that garbage

After this, our league schedule of away games is: Wolves Liverpool Spurs Man City Chelsea Palace Arsenal

Second half is definitely one of those where Howe can only do so much, but can't step over that white line and make the team be able to shoot for toffee.

Shame Miley has had to play at RB. He was looking better in forward areas.

I would frame the problem slightly differently. There aren't enough goalscorers. The keeper has not been worked but there have been good openings created second half. One of our best goalscorers, Murphy, is unfortunately one of our worst players.
