Having watched the highlights now I don't think I've any major beef with anyone on the third goal. It was as perfectly a weighted pass as Woltemade for Barnes for our first goal. Maybe you could argue that Ramsdale should get there or Botman should be stronger, but it's just a fantastic assist. What happened to invite the situation (i.e. not seeing literally a few minutes out) is another matter. This scale of pant-shittery after every time we score absolutely must stop if we're going to achieve anything meaningful this season. Can't argue with our results but it doesn't feel sustainable imo.

Page 359 onwards for evidence of 'out of form for a year.'

He certainly wasn't cooked or finished prior to the injury. Didn't see it today but if he's had a bad game then it's pretty much an anomaly this season.

Where's this?

He was in terrific form at the start of the season so hopefully just needs minutes in his legs.

Borderline irresponsible to have the lead twice and not get it done. Absolutely imperative that they won the shootout given the cost. What are we fucking like man.

Christ almighty

Gordon scores

The straight to pens thing in the League Cup is pretty progressive really. There's no room for ET these days.

because Howe/any manager with any integrity whatsoever was going to do that. Come on, man. The issue is injuries and the inability to rotate. Even Osula is a huge loss.

Best fucking win, like. ET and a defeat is a blummin disaster.

Infuriating to lose from a winning position but cba with extra-time. Just whatever, if we're gonna do CL and go deep in the League Cup then we ain't got the capacity for the FA Cup too. Much bigger game on Tuesday.

We took the lead.

Crackers how we lost the initiative every time we lead.

Would that be us losing our shit as soon as we go ahead, by any chance?

Yippeeeeeeee!

what was it, three days since that snoozefest against Leeds? Every match day with you, man. The irony of calling it boring.

Career Brentford

Can't believe he's started both strikers Feels incredibly risky.

Fair enough. I'd go with 'probably'. Evidence (you'll like this, Bobby): everything about modern football.

There's far more evidence in favour of his argument than against, tbf.

Didn't realise he was the well-read offspring Ange Postecoglou.
