  1. It's not looking good at all to be honest. But saying we're down already? Piss off!

    Not sure how many goals we've conceded because of ball watching alone. Not looking where all the opposition players are, or their runs. It's ridiculous.
  3. Conte giving mitroperez hugs away. I like him.
  4. Like Conte but hate spurs.

    Don't like the sound of Chris wood at the far post.
  6. That's not the biggest reason I don't like this result, personally.
  7. Don't see Leeds going down anyway. But this is a blow anyway, mentally. Rather have the 17th placed team as close as possible.
  8. Most of their players have been away, no?
  9. Everton players lack the right mentality. And quality.
  10. We didn't make a huge mistake letting him leave. If he had stayed he never would be where he is now. Sometimes a player needs a wake up call and a more permanent environment to develop, and at a lower level if necessary. Getting time on the pitch at a lower level to develop both mentally and technically is vital. Going out on loan after loan doesn't isn't the same thing either. Toney even said it himself that he thought he'd "made it" once at Newcastle. He's been given time and belief to develop, has matured and he's now playing at a much higher level. It's not as simple as "we should have kept him"..

    Really need to get the new players in quicker than quick. Hopefully all but done backstage before the window opens. Imperative that we don't waste time.
  13. Personally, Ritchie will be replaced if he's not up to Howe's standards.
  14. Replace Ritchie with Almiron if we go 3 at the back. Ritchie when they scored their 2nd was absolutely abysmal. Brentford player didn't even move quickly inside and Ritchie still wasn't able to cut him off/press him to a degree so that the player couldn't cross it to the. Far post. Sometimes when the opposition has 1-2 players attacking our central penalty are or the 1st post we are like bees on honey and have all our defenders trying to defend that one area, leaving another opposition player free at the back post. Time and time again ffs. Too mcu ball watching.
  15. Whatever happens next. Get players that can handle the ball and have legs and brain.
  16. Our midfield wasn't even there when Brentford had the ball. They got through as if they were playing against cones, time and time again. Defending was shocking too.all over the place. Willock couldn't do one thing right. Murphy and Ritchie offered nothing but weakness. Joelinton was class. Apart from the miss in the end he was our best player by far. To be honest, people thought the difference was absolutely massive compared to before. Better, yes, but I don't think it was all that. Good performance but still moving the ball too slowly and too many punts forward with the ball. Hopefully with more time we can get better, and most importantly more solid. Like headless chickens at times.

    Joelinton

    People wrote him totally off.. There's a player in him.
  18. This is what happens as a Toon fan when you beg God for a positive result.
