Every touch of the ball is so smart and always a step ahead of any other player, it's no wonder they've taken to just hacking him down.

I hope Mainoo gets some minutes here, Gallagher has been poor on and off the ball, can't be any worse

What was that Chilwell?

He deserves the goal, hope one of them goes in

Maguire rick AGAIN

Odds on Paquetta to get sent off in a friendly

And that attack came from Chilwell chickening out of a 50/50

FINALLY he gets the yellow

Gordon looking really good

MBappe is probably the most important part though

Well done Gordon, fully deserved!

The difference is 14 years of the media and politicians stoking division, never has there been such a divide between people, somehow everything is now binary and there's no nuance to beliefs. If this were to happen now it would probably cause the same uproar because the slightest change is seen by an attack and that goes both ways, everyone is so highly strung these days. People are split down the middle about this, but the truth is it was a misguided position and has just caused more anger and division over what, a ridiculously priced shirt that most of us can't afford anyway.

Regardless of whether its a fresh injury or unforseen, there was a feeling of inevitability on this one. I was sure he would end up under the knife at the end of the season and was playing through something, but all that's from nothing but a gut feeling. Lascelles will do a job in the mean time, hopefully summer brings some fresh legs in this area.

Postecoglu is getting relegated then

A better RW in the summer and Tonali back in the team and he'll be an absolute beast next season if he can keep the injuries at bay.

Nice 2 week break, warm weather training, some more players back, some better rested and a semi-reset. We've still got a lot to play for in the league and he'll have us coming back fighting for it. Actually think we'll see a completely different NUFC next season, more akin to last season. So many mitigating circumstances can't just be passed off, could Howe have done better this season? Probably, but he doesn't deserve the sack for failing to swim after having both arms and legs removed.

Can hardly blame Isak for not being more accurate having to take a shot by putting his boot over a half volley Been pretty unlucky with 2 deflected goals but not sure what anyone was expecting against Man City, most of you were predicting 4 or 5 - 0 in the prematch thread, then it's all fume and bluster when we're 2-0 down in the first half?

Perfect tackle, cleanly takes the ball, of course it's a yellow

The same people moaning about a change in formation are the same one moaning about us not changing it up with our poor defensive record. People crying all over twitter, Howe on a hiding to nothing no matter what he does.

Ok he's injured, I think it was obvious he's not 100% and carrying something, but that doesn't explain why he's getting 90+ minutes when others around him are subbed off, that's the only head scratcher for me.

I don't get why everyone is laying into the physio for a standard ROM test, the only thing you could possibly say is that he was probably a bit aggressive with his test which is why Gordon flinched so hard.

It'll be the sponsorships that close the gap, their new rules around FMV won't stand up in court, individual challenges on a case by case basis is what will bring this tumbling down.
