Ronaldo

Can’t absolve him completely. Maxi gone so we could spend nearly £40m on Harvey Barnes to sit on the bench behind Jacob Murphy? There’s time for it to change but that’s a shitshow.

If he was better than Isak be safe to say he’d have been snapped up by another club long ago.

It’s been tragic all season, call a spade.

I’m not sure re. 2nd paragraph. Isak, Bruno can’t be happy at a club finishing 7th / 8th. Sorry to be so negative.

Is it really bad to say he’s an honest lad with OK basics and good effort but ultimately doesn’t have anywhere near enough influence on games due to the fact he’s not that talented? Either way he’s not the answer and shouldn’t be starting games next season. Loan spell and see.

If he ever starts for us again after Sunday someone should be sacked. Woeful.

Bit harsh, but defensively he’s been a bit of a liability this season and that will only get worse. I’d be pissed off if I was a RB losing out on an England spot this summer in favour of him.

True, mind. Love Eddie, happy for him to him to be in charge next season but he’s got it massively wrong last 2 games and pretty much all season away from home - 17 points from 18 games! He’s not ruthless or clever enough in fixtures like this and he has to improve. Sincerely hope he does.

He doesn’t play one, never has.

Sadly only took them 10-15 mins to suss out we’ve got a lot of players out there incapable of hurting them.

He doesn’t like changing the team, Eddie. But I really wish he had. A lot.

Ey? I thought Botman and Lascelles were both due back by late autumn.

I see what you’re saying but I don’t think a safety net for Europa Conference is worth much.

I don’t see how. We need to win both games most likely or at the very least get 4 points.

Livramento has to play, surely?

Yeah the Carroll departure really drove home what we were and would always be under Ashley. Almost criminal that it was was more than a decade later he finally fucked off.

Could easily see that happening too.

He’s obviously borderline normal human intelligence. Was a ridiculous thing to do.

Europa League I’d love. Conference less so.

Can’t see any hope of us finishing 6th. We’ve been absolutely awful away from home all season.

Potentially but there’s just not enough quality behind him or on the right to get the best out of his ability and today was an example of that. He must have been frustrated as hell.

When has Barnes looked like a world beater? Looks like he’s good for a goal every 3 games but very little else to me.

Because it’s not down to injuries. It’s a conscious decision to play him and failure the properly address the issue of RW.

I meant more in the context of the fact we’ve spent a lot of money to be still starting a player that wouldn’t get a game for anyone outside the bottom 4.

Not sure how anyone can keep defending him at this point. Him as our backup costs us points.
