Fenwicks in town had decent stock of last year's release in the downstairs bit even a few days after release. Might be worth a shot for anyone who missed out

Classic

For the 95/96 home shirt that was released last year, Fenwicks had decent stock of it so could be worth a shot if people miss out today/tomorrow

Given our injury problems in defence and our general shakiness at the back, it's hard to see past a beating by a couple of goals here imo

Can't beat a net that the ball properly nestles in. Either these ones or the really baggy black and white ones from the mid 90s were the best. These shallow modern ones where the ball bounces out are shit

Mad that he only took our 8th penalty considering he's probably the best finisher we have

A month or so ago people were saying him and Thiaw would be our centre back pairing for the next 5 years, but now he's had a couple of dodgy appearances after injury he's finished? This place is mental

Are we not going to be limited by squad places? Thought we maxed that out in the summer, so guess we only bring a senior player in if someone like Lascelles or Willock leaves. Can still bring in some young uns though I guess

Give the fuckers a 10 second countdown like they're (supposedly) doing when the keeper has the ball in hand

Feel like there really needs to be something done about the time every team takes over these shitty long throws. Pretty much every time the ball goes out in the final third there's a 30-60 second stop in play whilst some cunt slowly trots over from the opposite side of the pitch, wipes the ball 8 times on his shirt, walks back to the advertising boards and then eventually launches it back in. Utter shit to watch

DCL always seems to cause us problems, even when he was going through long goal droughts at Everton. Think it's mainly due to his mobility and physicality and Schar struggling with that - hopefully Thiaw is better suited to marking him and can do a job on him

What the fuck is this? His foot on the actual image is beyond the dark stripe of grass, yet on the computer image it isn't. How on earth can that be?

They're in poor form, fair few players missing, not able to rotate, and we've got an extra 2 days rest. 0-1

Feels like it goes under the radar how good he is. Doesn't often get a mention from commentators or pundits as he just casually puts in another 9/10 performance

Thought it was a mistake to take him off to be honest. Would have backed him to land a cross on someone's head in the last 20 mins

As soon as we go behind away from home it's pretty much game over. We have absolutely no idea how to break down a deep block away from home. We had the ball pretty much the entire second half and didn't really create any clear-cut chances. Really, really poor

To be showing that level of performance, against one of the better teams in the league, playing out of position, at the age of 19, is pretty fucking special. I think people overlook how incredibly difficult it is to play in the premier league aged 19 and not look out of place, and Miley has been doing that since he was 17. The lad is a special talent and he's only going to get better

Players go in and out of form. Tonali has been mostly class for the last season and a half, and has been poor for the last 3-4 games. Not everything has to be an overreaction

Why the fuck was he not immediately brought off. Looked like he could barely breathe and was constantly holding his ribs for the few minutes he came back on, it was madness

Been embarrassingly bad the last couple of games. Don't think a single one has been delivered anywhere near any of our players

The block in the first half followed by the loud celebration was embarrassing today I thought. Focus on not being part of a shit team performance before doing that shit please

It's just so predictable that when we go behind the opposition will drop into a low block and we have absolutely no idea how to break it down. Just happens again and again. Slow, ponderous passing from side to side and no incisiveness

Really pisses me off that he's been throwing in these performances for the best part of a year and then claims to have this super mentality. He's never going to the very top of the game because he isn't good enough, and he hid today

The lack of urgency in our play is really concerning. We just can't seem to play 3 games a week with any sort of intensity. It's like we can only do it once a week and then the other 2 performances will just be abject dross

The amount of respect we gave them with the whole 10 men behind the ball thing was absolutely pathetic. Baffling tactical decision, it just meant we never ever got going and Howe has to take a large part of the blame. Also the decision to start Elanga was poor
