Can Ashby play on the left? Can Ashby play?

Willock was quite poor. We did look better with Gordon, but I wouldn’t describe him as a creative force or attacking outlet. Really meh when we needed something from someone. Isak, ASM, Gordon, all meh. Miggy put away the opportunity that fell to him — fell to his left foot fortunately, but otherwise…

Didn’t offer much today.

Wow, ASM doing his best to make Joelinton look better as a forward.

Liverpool will oblige soon enough.

Brutal, but mostly accurate. Too high for Gordon, Trippier, and ASM. Burn really was poor.

Dreadful

Holding my breath for a VAR check. Thank god

Can we agree to restrict this discussion to the Grammar subforum? BTW your opinion on the Oxford comma is shit.

Whatever we do, I want to see Isak and Gordon on the pitch together. If we’re starting Wilson, give him and ASM a half to get their rhythm.

Look forward to watching Kuol score for you against Chelsea next year then.

Saw some discussion of Kuol staying on at Hearts next season and the possibility of playing next season. Wikipedia says 1st and 2nd place qualify for Champions League (or rather qualifiers for CL) and 3rd and 4th for Europa Conference qualifiers. Scotland does go in for Europa League?

Originally read this as a response to Rafalove about Lavia. Yes, Rice will be expensive.

I thought that was the reason Burn missed the header. Haven’t rewatched.

He’s quite good. I don’t think he’s as good as Schaar though. Poor choice of words from King Arthur. Not uncomfortable, just not as fluid and aggressive as Fab.

Yep

We were too slow switching play. He immediately changed that with his first touch. (My thought at that second: oh, I was wrong he’s good. Here’s hoping…)

Motm today. Many were off today — if only for a half. Not him.

Saw him play in an extremely poor side. Looked alright in a just slightly poor side.

This this this

Wilson has a career in punditry ahead of him. Camera loves him. Has a brain.

This. I expect that some might wish to reasses their January window ratings. We’re guaranteed to drop points if Bruno is out especially. Lucky that West Ham don’t offer much going forward. They owned the midfield. Rice is worth a fortune.

First half so poor that second half was an improvement.

We’re going to struggle without Bruno and Isak. Rice is a very good. West Ham a decent side.

Gordon’s alright. That through ball — if it had been to Isak instead of Wilson.
