Christ that was infuriating.

The sinking feeling when we try to play intricate football in the final third and it comes to Longstaff

Reckon we might look alright with Gordon instead of Murphy on the right. Terrible decision making there, so many options.

Ref is fucking useless. Also, coverage seems a bit shite. Did they even give us one replay of that early Barnes chance?

Love the mention of Gouffran scoring five home games in a row. Like it puts Isak in illustrious company

I would let ten of him gangbang me. What a player.

Best student in my class ended up sexually assaulting a young woman some years later.

I'd imagine there's only so much that they can do without having him in the building, discussing plans in detail with everyone. I'm sure there'll be some communication going on but it's not like everyone else at the club will be sitting around just twiddling their thumbs hoping Ashworth spells out the names of transfer targets in his tulips.

The biggest question mark over the signing of Barnes has always been the fact that we seemed to desperately need a RW and instead brought in Barnes, who plays off the left. Given we had Gordon and Joelinton at LW (also the option of using Isak there late in games had proven very effective) and Almiron and Murphy were the options at RW, it's hard to argue that RW wasn't the bigger need. I know there's hope that Gordon will be able to play off the right and be just as effective, but I'm honestly also a little bit wary of moving him away from the position where he's kicked on and taken his game to a whole new level. Ideal world we'd have a really deep and talented squad and we could rotate Barnes and Gordon at LW.

I remember that game, hated that Chargers team and that Patriots team Not the best example to support sending Lascelles back out there, mind you. Rivers did his ACL against the Colts the week before and was pulled from the game, they won with the backup. He went out and played on what they all knew was a torn ACL the following week, after he'd had scans and they all knew what they were dealing with.

Horrible game of football that.

Miggy being badly injured and us not being able to sell him for FFP wiggle room seems the logical next step for this shitshow of a season.

Also not booking players for cynical fouls achieves the opposite of letting it flow, as players can just foul any time to stop a promising attack, knowing nowt will happen.

I mean, maybe I'm wrong but I can't think of many examples of a player trying to play on with what was later revealed to be a fucked ACL?

They actually had him go back out there and try to run off a serious ACL injury

That's a ridiculous penalty and sending off for Burnley.

What does building the team around him look like?

Quality from Toney there.

4 times they've hit the woodwork Wonder what the record is for most times in a game without scoring.

Good to have a few local lads in the squad but with Miley and Anderson there I do feel if we can get any sort of decent fee for Longstaff then we should take it.

The fact that Gordon can play both sides is great. Bring in a top class RW option and let Gordon, Barnes and the new signing rotate the three spots. I think I'd like to see Minteh stay with us next season. Could see him being a cracking option off the bench in the last 20 minutes of games. Will depend on whether we have European football though.

It is/was the biggest weakness of ASM's game, once he got the ball he was electric but his movement without it meant he didn't really tend to receive the ball in great positions.

Penalty nonces

That music after the Bayern goal
