isn't he first choice striker because he moves into channels, which he doesn't do last 3 games He's been free in the box at least twice when Yedlin has crossed it straight to the keeper.

Yep straight into the keepers hands every time.

To be fair to Joselu he hasn't had much to get on the end of like.

Rafa wanted a Table and they bought him a Lampshade.

Exactly the kind of game we would have lost under previous Managers.

Some of his kicks were worse than terrible, should have done alot better for their first goal.

Just a daft tackle away from a win.

Cheers, good watch.

Colback still terrible, even playing against kids.

They are similar like. I was surprised the ref didn't give Ritchie a red I suppose because Ritchie didn't kick Mawson in the face he got a yellow, was very high like. Amazing how something like this happens the day after what happened yesterday. Even more amazing the fact it happened only a few weeks after Mbembas head was almost kicked out of the atmosphere resulting in not even a card. No scrutiny on that one.

Mane's were both off too. You'd want to be some f***ing athlete to have your foot that high without your other foot off the ground

Mane's were both off too. Even more to be fair.

Classic clueless Pardew tbf, Hope he slips on a banana skin and lands on his knees in a vat of thinly laid Lego blocks.

To be fair to the absolute weapon he says he doesn't think either should have been red cards. He says that they were both very very similar but Ritchies was far worse despite him not kicking the other guys chin off?

Hope Rafa shakes Hughes's hand at the end.

Did fine when he came on, not my favourite player like but can't understand people are thinking he was crap today.

His awareness of whats going on in the game is excellent. Calm and composed, puts himself about. Looks like a great find.

I just hope he thinks the squad is good enough and he can build next year, if not I'm actually done after 30 years.

I think if Rafa now walks that will be the final straw for most.

I dunno what people were watching but for me he was the only player looking for the ball and doing anything, bring back pass back Jack then? Please.

Poor defensively, gifted a goal away, poor passing, lost possession too many times, slow at times to get the pass away resulting in him being tackled and created absolutely nothing. There is definitely an argument for him being poor today. I disagree, thought he was our best player today.

I've no idea how anyone could think he was poor today? Thought he did fine for his first PL game, he was one of the only players who wanted the ball. Broke up their attacks quite a few times and switched defence into attack.

He seemed to wander out of position quite often, pretty sure Rafa can sort that out though.
