Good to see the knee jerk reactions are kept to a minimum after a dissapointing result on wednesday. Nothing wrong with what he's said. Still a class player and vital for us on and off the pitch.

Looking back at the replay from the Almiron chance I think it's a bit harsh to blame him. Gordon went for goal with a shot which went wide and was too hard for Miggy to reach in time. Looked like he would have timed his run pretty well if it had been a pass.

Isak fluffing his big chance, Longstaff boinking the ball in the head of Onananan 1v1, Gordons penalty call, Casemiros head being 3cm bigger than a normal head thus clearing the ball off the line....we win this game 9/10 times even when we're not at our best like today. Almiron waking up 0,5 seconds late for the ball from Gordon too.

ARE YOU FRENCH!?

SHUT UP AND LET ME BE MAD AT THE CURRENT N-O™ SCAPEGOAT

bah

We're creating chances. Just need someone to finish them. Barnes on please.

Gordon a victim of his penalty winning actions earlier this season. This one was fairly clear. He's right though. We keep the ball too long between the defenders, inviting a Man Utd press onto us that we aren't able to play past and end up hoofing it to their defence.

Need him on to bulldoze and assert himself against Amrabat so he crawls back into the shell he's been playing from within since he arrived at Man Utd.

So Casemiro and Amrabat are at the top of their game again? How annoying is that? With the exception of a ~10 minute period I think we've been the better and more dangerous team. Think we'll continue to be that in the second half, but we really don't look like we want to score today.

Would love for Trippier to stop calling players to come deep to get the ball or point to pass the ball backwards all the time Work harder to make yourselves available in space and play the ball towards their goal please.

Trippier entering the field hopping on one leg. Worrying.

I have no statistics to back this claim up, but I am certain the number of incorrect decisions without and with VAR aren't even remotely comparable.

I almost want them to scrap VAR just to see the reactions of some of the people on here who are so opposed to it when we conceede yet another incorrectly judged offside, or a blatant handball leading to goal against us. VAR isn't the issue. It's a really good tool used by cunts and imbeciles.

Think it's more a case of shouldn't play yet, but can in case of emergency.

Pope wasn't fit to dive for the ball just a couple of weeks ago guys Lets throw him in for arguably the most important game of the season with 0 match sharpness sure.

Wow Howe so unexpected you nearly had us with Isak there

It was against Blyth Town, but he was one of those "head and shoulder above anyone else" type of player yesterday. He's not playing at a level that is truly challenging to him unless yesterday was him having a particularly good day.

Alfie playing like Foden on speed against this lot.

Excellent work by Alfie to create that goal. Finding space to receive the pass, perfect weighted pass to play through our striker.

Scary how ginger their #3 is

There's just no way, NO WAY, that Isak doesn't start tomorrow. Despite all our injury woes this season I can't believe people are starting to fall for this ruse by Howe If it had been a new injury rather than a continuation of his illness, which he's already played through once, I'd believe it...but there's just no way for such an important game that he doesn't start unless he's absolutely shattered. He's already played through injuries multiple times. A sniffle doesn't stop him.

Since Isak was ill but still started against Brighton I am certain he will start against Man Utd regardless of whether he's in condition to train today or not. Not even ETH will fall for that one

Fantastic talent ruined by injuries. He's only had one (recorded) injury since then, but he was basically out with major injuries from 3rd November 2014 to 30th June 2017. Was not aware he was at the club up until January 2021.
