Yorkie

More-or-less what I pictured performance-wise. Need to be incredibly careful not to let them get another chance. I expected the team to be disjointed but there's some infuriatingly poor individual performances. Longstaff, Barnes, Trippier all shite.

Longstaff again, man. Is he asleep or what?

Oof, brutal this.

Barnes needs to pick his arse up mind, been so wasteful.

It isn't, really. Plug a gap in the first team with one of these individuals and most won't let you down that badly. Chuck em all in at once against a team set up to defend and they're gonna look rusty and incoherent.

Dear me, Longy. Feel like we'll have to change something at HT.

Feel like we just need to get it wide. Running into traffic centrally every time.

Looking like an uncomfortable afternoon.

Woodman knows about Dubs' right hand side

Looking ragged. That's the problem with playing a load of random together.

There's that shot to the right hand side

What a goal

Ambitious effort there, Barnesy.

Nice hold up play, Willie

Match thread

Miggy.

Correct. Who can name the other starters?

4/5

Who can name the five starters today who also featured in the Cambridge upset?

Joelinton having to go again, man. Bloke is a machine. There should be far too much quality in that side to slip up but we need to make sure we're slick going forward.

Of course. The Man City story has never once appealed to me and teams being prevented from doing what they did is pretty much fine with me. ... But the fact that NUFC is restricted from injecting hundreds of billions of Saudi wealth into buying the Premier League isn't the issue with PSR. The issue is that each competitor has unique restrictions (or lack of) placed upon them.

Looking forward to this but have pretty low expectations. I think we'll win but it'll be fairly ugly, much like that Wimbledon game. Given what Howe said about identifying this weekend as an opportunity to rotate, hopefully the team he intends to put out has been working on patterns in training.

I think he probably hit that height once... Pardew was somewhat to blame as he tried to turn a limited CDM into a playmaker. More a random thought but does anyone know how Palace fans view Cabaye? He actually played for them a fair bit more than us.

Think the Tiote shouts are a bit wild tbh. Was very fond of him but I'm not sure he pulled up any trees for us after his first season.

How boring.
