Elite footballer, made of glass, hope its nothing serious and he's at least back on the bench Sunday. He brings something completely different to the side and puts the opposition on the back foot.

Back to the Sandro we bought, solid performance tonight and only gave the ball away once from my recollection. Was obviously hampered by the looming truth and now he looks like he's playing with the shackles off. Can't wait for him to be up to full speed.

Poor first half performance, some sloppy passes and getting rounded quite easily at times but going forward he was solid and grew into the game defensively late on. Can see he has everything, just still raw, keep playing him and watch him grow he will own that spot for years.

That wasn't a game for the ages, glad we got through but we really need to up our game, 3 distinctly poor performances with spatterings of class, we can see what we can do but it's just not clicking. I thought Tonali and Barnes both shone, Livramento was positive when he came on and Longstaff was actually solid. Bruno wasn't at his best, Joelinton will admit that was a poor one from him and Gordon still looks like he's way off his best too. Hopefully it all starts to click soon.

Next question.....HOW??

My river hath dried up, someone tell me where we are at please.

Just didn't look confident in his walk up there

Bewwww

That deserved a goal from Barnes and Livra, such a good move

This is more like it

This game feels like it's got away from us now, not sure what changes this for us.

How is everyone's passing, movement and pressing so much better than ours so far this season, its so frustrating to watch.

Absolutely pegged back here, we need to turn the tide here

Just gonna mention this, how are we getting consistently outpressed

Such a blatant foul throw, he was way over the line when he let go, but hey ho

I think we've been OK, just nervy, a bit too hasty at times. We'll be fine and I think we'll see this out 2-0 in the end.

Trippier starting to look like his old self, we've missed that

Some of the instinctive passing tonight by us has been sublime

Tonali is such a game changer

Bwahahahahaahahaha

Or sent off!

Such an emotional bunch, why don't we wait until the window SLAMS shut and then see how we get on? Maybe January offers us another route if all is not going to plan. We're 2 games into the season man, it's not quite bed sheet time yet 🤷‍♂️

That Miggy 1-2 with Bruno, over the top caught so many teams cold. Bruno definitely ups Miggys game on that side.

Guess who's back, back again, Sandros back, tell a friend. Like a new signing ™

The subs changed the game for us, all positive contributions but still way off our best. We got away with one there but I'll take it.
