Trippier? He basically ran the first half against Milan 7 days ago along with Bruno.

We had a winger on the bench. You were seemingly happy Ritchie came on instead.

There’s a tonne of daylight between not working out as planned, and being behind Matt Ritchie in the pecking order.

Feel bad for him. Not a coincidence that these errors seem to happen away from home when we forget how to keep the ball, the front 6 go into their shells and he’s got no one to exchange with. Also it’s blatantly obvious and has been for a while he doesn’t like playing next to Lascelles.

With 40+ minutes left.

No one is saying it’s his fault that he’s shit. Or that he was chiefly to blame. The decision to give him a full half of football is indefensible thought. He literally can’t contribute.

At his very best he had no business being anywhere a team with our ambitions. To be getting minutes every game 7 years later is a disgrace. And yes, it does set a tone.

Fitting. 40 minutes of him with Hall - who can actually run and contribute - sitting doing nothing as per. Pathetic decision. We’re effectively down to 10 men with zero pace on the break all half.

To when, Burton Albion at home?

Hall must be utter shit in training. Matt fucking Ritchie ffs.

It’s a symptom of their squad as much as it Hodgson’s style of play. To call him the most boring by a solid margin is harsh.

You might want to look at how many goals Palace scored before they appointed him.

81 points is outrageous, mind. That’s super impressive, especially when considering the hard work Stevie ‘I’m hard’ Gerrard did to set them back.

Every time there’s a bad game between the ‘big’ sides someone comes out with a carbon copy of this post. Every league has shit games. Get over it.

Decent coach? Have a word. I don’t like Villa but Emery is superb. Easily the league’s most accomplished manager behind Pep and Klopp.

Have the 3 promoted clubs ever been as shit as this in PL history? They’re all just utter rubbish.

Was superb, as usual.

The guy’s a thick nonce whoever he is. Gets it wrong every time.

If we ever get enough players fit, obvs.

Anderson needs to go on loan and prove he’s up to it at PL level. Miley’s already shown enough. What a talent.

Not for a year he hasn’t.

100% brother.

Anyone still saying this is freak luck?

We get some good fortune against Fulham, mind. Silva with his marvellous hair must hate playing us.

I would hope he still dives in training even when not starting for the team mind. This ‘rust’ shit is tedious.
