Hope in 10 years when their owners are gone we go and buy their best player and loan his to Marseille.

at the people complaining about us not being able to keep up our pressing and attacking play. Just take up watching a different sport if you're too thick to understand this one on even the most basic level.

Just told my father in law to shut up and now I'm the dickhead it seems.

Fucking gutted like. Had we had any subs to bring on we'd have thumped the wankers. Isak was dead on his feet after 60 minutes and a complete passenger.

Christ, just absolutely robbed.

He should never be a sub again.

Fuck, the second half is gonna be torture. Can't wait. Thought for so long we may never see nights like this again. Gonna need a monumental half.

Remember enjoying how he reffed the WC final, didn't give soft fouls and let it flow where he could.

Depends on if we have European football and our outlook in the domestic cups. We're very light on players who can play in the front three, especially when you factor in our style of play and the injury record of Wilson and Isak in particular. Would be pretty disappointing to just repeat the exact same mistake we made going into the season by not adding anyone again.

Can't stop laughing at the goal. He just hits it so unnecessarily hard Not enough laughing at the keeper IMO. Obviously the mistake is Silva but once it happens then the keeper surely has to come charging out and narrow the angle and make Joe beat him? Instead he retreats and kind of lies down cowering on his line and makes himself as small as possible.

Horrific keeping there btw, had to come out and narrow the angle at the very least. Just stood on the line cowering

Big Joe hit that like the net shagged his lass

Hoping to fuck for an influx of players in January and them being bedded in by the start of next season. Definitely taking some of the joy out of watching us this season when hoping players don't get hurt is one of the main parts of the game. As for today's line-up, will be interesting to see how Bruno and Miley line up. Miley looked good against Bournemouth, hopefully stays in that spot and we give Bruno more license to get forward.

I'm basically a male version of this Far better at 5 a side and such. Got a nickname for life out of my goalkeeping escapades but generally preferred being outfield. In retrospect, my best position for 11 a side was probably CB but never played there as I was a reasonable CF.

I mean, it's not even a foul by Joelinton IMO. Surely he has a right to push him off?

Wilson should essentially be third choice CF and used exclusively as an impact substitute. He'd be excellent in that role and can't be trusted in any other one. Not sure whether he earns too much for that to be decent value for money for us but it'd be great if he could be.

Reckon if you put him in Bruno's position with something close to our strongest eleven otherwise he'd very much hold his own. Tend to agree that the best thing for him would probably be a year on loan somewhere but it's a bit like the situation with Elliot Anderson last summer. And in retrospect possibly even Minteh. We just don't have the squad depth to send players away yet.

Christ Froggy, this is grim even for you.

One of those games that we're best served just pretending never happened and moving on. Exceptional circumstances today that are unlikely to be repeated often of at all in the coming years. Pretend it never happened, commit to being positive and try to get everyone rested and ready to go after the two weeks.

I'd say these are possibly Willock's and Joelinton's worst performances for us in the Howe era? Anyone else?

Livramento being the best player on the pitch every time he plays RB but sticking him at LB so Tripps can continue his recent bad form seems is infuriating.

Fucking shite goal that, what an awful game.

Fuck me this is bleak enough, knew when the window closed we were pretty light on numbers but we've been punished far worse than could have been reasonably expected. Just need to spawn a shitty 1-0 out of this and get to the international break with some positive vibes.

Good half that IMO, we look sharp.

Ritchie man, what a shit pass to Trippier that was.
