SUPERTOON

Absolutely nothing so far since the takeover suggests PIF are going to be ruthless, itchy trigger finger types. Everything so far suggests the opposite in fact. (Rightly so)

Why Karius ?

He’s been ill the last week or so (flu type illness), Edwards did an article on it, still hasn’t missed a day of training. Probably a bit run down.

I’d lose interest if Jose ever gets the job here.

Rice is so good

Did VVD just ask the ref if he’s been drinking ?

Don’t think that’s the point he’s making, more that you can judge or sack a manager based on one game

You said he’s done it quicker than Howe, Howe did it in his first full season. We had a worse squad and were in a far worse position than Villa when Emery took over. It’s not even debatable.

Has to be a pen that

He’s not done either of those things btw.

Still think what we are seeing currently is a result of the summer window. Obviously not the clubs fault not having Tonali and Barnes for the majority of the season, but I’d still argue we didn’t do enough to strengthen the starting 11. I’d imagine it’s a lesson they have learned and it won’t be repeated.

Still think that was a major failing of the summer window when it wasn’t addressed. Expect that to be rectified in the summer.

Maybe expecting to not have a pathetic performance?

I’d pinpoint injuries, fatigue and in hindsight a poor summer window as main reasons for our poor form.

And rightfully so.

No excuse to not make some changes here.

Not almost, we are bottom 3 on away form.

Liveprool, City, Sunderland and Villa in a row is brutal ?

I don’t think there will be one.

The original decision was offside though

Worst thing about this is that these are absolutely shit.

Offside unfortunately

We couldn’t argue if we where 4-0 down here.

Players look like they don’t want to be out there

Aye, we look hopeless.
