That’s a sure fire way to lose tbf.

Pretty sure Bruce shouted to go to a 3 in the middle, no change then, Fraser was the only player showing any width anyway.

Fraser got caught in 2 minds with a the 2nd yellow, he knew as soon as he started to go for it he was in trouble

As expected, invite the superior opposition and hope for the best. We can’t even organise a counter attack. I’m not saying we should batter them but minute by minute we are increasing their confidence. No pressure on the ball at all.

Was surprised at his fitness levels tbh. He’ll be gutted he missed those chances

Lascelles done in already. Can’t recover from any run

Shelvey and Wilson withdrawn as a precaution. Let’s hope it’s not positive.

Pretty sure you’d have been in the womb for The Fairs Cup as well. Call yourself a supporter, should have scrambled out, cheered and then popped back in.

Wonder whatever happened to the deposit, was it paid, does it show anywhere and if PIF have “officially” withdrawn would they have to pay it again? Who knows but it’s a huge chunk of money to simply give up on.

I’m waiting for him to give us the thumbs up and slate Ashley........

Just waiting for hairy hands to tweet something now.

Fantastic player rip, loved him as a kid.

Just seen, bloke on Sky News got it wrong then

That's not true? It’s what the bloke on Sky News said and the Govt website is unclear. Says elite sports persons can train and compete but the link is to the Tier rules from Dec which no longer and apply.

Football suspended again under the new lockdown

At this level neither Longstaff is quick enough, certainly not quick enough to form a partnership. Matty looks like he could be a holding player in front of the defence, Sean needs a partner able to make runs; he looks like a player limited to operate 20 either side of the halfway line with the odd foray into the box.

Both Longstaff’s are too slow, once a game opens up they struggle as a pair.

Neither Longstaff has any pace unfortunately

Phil McNulty on BBC Sport having a dig, good to see.

Glad we didn’t ruin Toney, he looks a bit useful. Still, we’ve got Joelinton.....and Carroll.

I’m glad we’re out but feel physically sick over the performance. Walking pace at best, completely incompetent in truth.

Absolutely tragic that.

Piracy always seems to have been at the heart of this, there’s huge sums of money involved, reputation and integrity for the Premier League. If beIN withdraw their objections I don’t see the Big 6 being in any position to stop it. All the PL would need to say is that they recognised PIF as a separate entity and that the test was complete. If beIN remain banned in SA the deals dead, 500m says otherwise and the PL are going to have a hell of a time running piracy cases which would be a very expensive business.

If the 500m includes broadcasting rights in SA then Qatar must be confident that they’ll be able to broadcast there. The deal isn’t worth 500m without that market. IMO this is positive news, if SA now lift the ban then even more so. Both sides could claim victory and in many ways they’d both be right.
