Dreadful game. England are soone paced

I always felt that Gini hid, both here and at Liverpool. For a player with so much ability he just didn't hurt the opposition as much as he was capable of doing

Pep got rid of Joe Hart of Joe Hart because of his weakness with the ball at his feet and I think Hart was England number 1 at the time. Modern day managers don't want to see the ball hoofed up the field, they want it passed out from the back

The only thing he's consistent with is getting booked

Fantastic volley by him which was unfortunately blocked. Great technique

As soon as Maxi gets the bal he's closed down by three players. Because he doesn't normally move the ball quickly it's too easy for them.

Viera doesn't hasn't had much success in management

I said during the time that Liverpool were chasing Man City for the title that I thought that they might burn themselves out and watching them now they certainly don't press like they used to do. I agree that we try to play in a similar way and with our small squad it asks a lot of the players

Definitely looked like Popes ball to me and he must surely have called it.

When Wilson came on he looked like an old man compared to how Isak played in the first half and that's a compliment to Isak

He did look very jittery today but he still made a couple of good saves

Burn must have been reading the comments on here about him and he's really got his finger out today

I'd like for us to finish in the top four but don't want to play in the CL,.............yet

I don't think that qualifying for CL this year would be a good idea. Yes it would be a great achievement but I don't believe that we are ready for that standard.

Liverpool were a long way from fourth place a month ago and have shot up the table. We can do the same

Howe said in the week that Isak was close but not quite there yet which is probably why he didn't start today. Any players signed by Howe have been introduced over several games, Gordon hasn't really had that luxury and I think he'll get better. Some of our players have played nearly every game so something had to give

If Schar is out put Burn back in the middle and Targett LB

Need ASM to play like the last time we played against them. He destroyed Walker in that game

Everyone shouted for Bruno to start when he first came here but Eddie bedded him in very slowly and it paid off. He's doing the same with Isak and bearing in mind the injury that Isak had he seems to be taking real care over it. PL will be a big step up physically for him but I like what I've seen so far

I can't understand people criticizing the team after the effort they put in. We were up against a side in top form with plenty options to choose from which we don't......yet

Happy for him and happy for us

Isn't a straight red an automatic 3 match ban?

Bit worried about this one today

I'm thrilled that we've got there but can't say that I'm confident. If we lose I won't take it badly because I know that it's just one of many steps forward

I much prefer Targett
