Fair play Jamaal.

Surely lightning doesn't strike twice. Edit: it didn't.

Joelinton picking up a needless yellow.

Why tell Joelinton to shoot

Jesus. Great FK by Sterling tbf.

Almiron is menacing today.

Miley to score a top bins out of the box worldie please.

Fucking get in Isak!

Passing it around quite well here.

Shows how big the injury list is for sure!

We desperately need youth players to step up, be absolutely incredible if Miley can give us 90 min version of some of the good cameos we've had.

Spot on man, totally agree. And he does it really well and comfortably. He's always calm and measured.

Eddie was never going to say "yes, I am looking forward to signing from Saudi league". I think his answer is sensible, we don't know our actual needs until we get there. You could argue Tonali is a known loss, but still, wheter we do or do not bring in someone from Saudi, Howe isn't going to reveal that now.

Aye - would be silly to bring him back and throw him in deep end of the Prem. It's very unlikely he will be anywhere near ready or be able to help. Let him enjoy a full season where he is.

Wasn't this when we all made our avatars your pic in the away end?

Pope has pretty much helped this not be a much heavier defeat.

Just lacking quality and desire. Too many injuries.

I was more commenting on the "never seen it like this" for size of players out over causation.

Surely this was common Ashley era other than Rafa days? - seem to remember we always badly handled fitness, overplayed certain players until they broke and rushed people back all the time etc.

Yes. Wait until see you Joelinton choking out Gabriel while handballing it to a miles offside Gordon.

I really think this particular goal call was possibly the most complicated one for VAR we've seen yet. It's there to prove a wrong was done, it couldn't across 3 elements, so goal stood. I think it should give the benefit of the doubt, not rule out something it can't be sure on. Feel its a harsh situation for VAR to handle, it was for clear and obvious errors, not really uncertain and hard to prove marginals.

Nothing wrong with what he said though, so why waste time trying to act like he is not allowed to comment on it. He is a commentator, it's his job. If people aren't allowed to comment on things because they made mistakes around it themselves in the past then that would wipe out a lot of conversations in football.

He was brilliant in general. Forget how important he is. His return is huge. That goal still needed a lot of effort on the short despite the good run. Love the Gordon run to drag defenders away too. Sweet low hit in to the corner. Lovely stuff.

Wow!!! Hall!!
