I obviously don’t know the offside rule.

This fucking ref, man.

The fuck is that not a fucking pen??!!

Ffs. Ramsdale , man. Edit: harsh tbf, hit the post and in.

Need a Wolte hat-trick here. Could easily have had one already.

Amazing ball by Gordon there. Big Nick should score!

So overhated, man.

Did we lose against Sunderland? Commentators aren’t mentioning it enough, I feel.

I think it’s an expectation issue here though … if Gordon had Cherki’s technical chops on top of his pace and pressing, he wouldn’t even be here.

That’s fair and yes he’s been fairly up and down (injuries playing a part too) but goals and assists aren’t the full story imo; stats show he’s regularly creating key passes, stretching defences with his pace, and opening space for teammates. His expected goals and assists show he’s still generating chances, and his UCL performances prove he can deliver against top opposition too. My weird take? He’s got one of those faces that people just seem to find easier to hate.

I like Ramsdale’s kicking, but I really dislike goalkeepers who make straightforward saves look spectacular, and he’s firmly in that category for me. By contrast, Pope (clangers aside) consistently makes ridiculous saves look routine. There were a few games where Ramsdale barely faced a shot on target and still ended up conceding. Pope is massively underrated in my opinion; as a pure goalie, he’s among the best in the league. If he had better distribution, he’d have attracted far bigger offers than us at the time.

He looked pretty tidy on the ball last night- maybe played it a bit safe at times- but you can definitely see the quality that’s there. Just need him to stay fit and get a run going.

The criticism aimed at Gordon feels harsh and unwarranted for the most part imo. He’s actually delivered several solid performances this season, yet fans seem quick to get on his back without offering the same patience or grace others receive. On top of that, the idea that he’s pushing for a move is pure fiction; there’s no real basis for it all, just noise being repeated until it sounds true.

We’ve literally only made maybe 3 bad signings. Bit of an overreaction imo.

Let’s humble these orcs.

100 per cent. He may not be any good with his feet but he’s an amazing goalkeeper and super underrated imo.

I know this is a bit of a wet post but being an NUFC fan right now is funny- we’re doing well for the most part, expectations keep shooting up, and everyone’s either buzzing or stressing. And fair enough, wanting more is part of the ride. Just a tiny reminder (and sorry if this sounds a bit preachy); we’ve actually got a club we can kinda be proud of again. I’m not saying we should settle for slightly more than mediocre but once in a while it’s important to reflect on how far we’ve come that a draw away to a good side in the UCL is considered a bad result.

Besides Liverpool, obviously.

Worst set of fans going imo.

Like clockwork.

Would love to see Ramsdale make a save for once.

Stupid thread but probably close to challenging, 3rd-6th or something like that.

Great if you’re ambition is to be like Forest and Brighton.

We haven’t been shite all season ffs.

Insane goal
