The blame is with the players for me, not Howe. Yes, he made some questionable substitutions, but the majority of the team are consistently underperforming unless it's an international or CL match. He needs to stop his loyalty a bit with Pope, Joelinton, and Gordon, but we had more than enough quality to win today. Desire? No chance. Woltemade looked knackered. Gordon/Bruno/Joelinton looked like they CBA.

Yeah, Ramsdale has earned the right to start now.

He hasn't this season.

Woltemade and Thiaw not included, mind. But yes, Elanga, Wissa, Ramsey - said it before, but spunking that amount when we needed technical and creative quality was horrendous business.

Still think we'll nick a thoroughly undeserved draw

I mean, one of them will, one day. Not today, though.

Gordon, Joelinton, Burn Barnes, Ramsey, Hall Please...

Can we start playing again now? Don't think we have since Murphy scored.

Would like to see Hall at some point to give some attacking width.

ill

This would be a perfect time for Elanga to start to come good

Not giving their RB a yellow for pulling Gordon back in the 5th minute was the bigger gripe for me.

Yes!!

Saving him to start against Fulham perhaps

Gordon has been very good tonight (so far)

Definitely need a second here.

Yeah this ref genuinely hasn't got a Scooby. Doing it from gut feeling alone.

Saved Pope.

Personally I'd be more 7/10.

Pope

Plus ça change

Goodness me.

How was that not a yellow

Agreed. We can't wait 2 years for our marquee RW signing to come good. Sorry, but no way.

Not saying Osula and Wissa are bad players, but we're still playing Burn at LB, crying out for a RW, and have no technical ability to break down a side from midfield. In the PSR world, spending that much on so few players who don't fix fundamental issues with out starting XI is looking foolish. Looking forward to be proven wrong, but don't see it atm.
