McCormick

Missing a striker that can hold the ball tbh. At least Wood could do that.

Ref’s been shocking.

Yikes Isak. Muscled off way too easily there.

We look understandably leggy and seemed to have lost our early season swagger. Not much on the bench to change things unfortunately.

Yessssssssssssss

We’re showing a bit more intent now, at least. Still doubt we’ll score. There’s not much technical quality in the middle. Longstaff is not a PL no. 6.

First massive mistake from the board imo.

Now Willock off injured. Could probably have done with a cm in the window.

First team practically picks itself with our paper thin squad. Gordon aside, there isn’t much we can bring in to change things.

We’re an ordinary team without Bruno. Shows how weak our squad is.

We don’t win this now.

Fuckkkkk

Such a harsh VAR offside ffs.

Ah. Even better?

Bentancur looks fucked. Awful to say, but that’s seemingly good news for us. Bissouma isn’t a bad replacement tbf.

Remi Savage.

Taking into account age and injury history I wouldn’t be far from agreeing with Rio tbh.

Mass hysteria?

A mediocre window has cost us here. Won’t be another opportunity like this for a while, unfortunately. We’ll finish 5th.

We’re ordinary in midfield without Bruno.

Of course Paqueta

Got to be a 5. We’ve weakened ourselves (in terms of squad depth) in a position where we needed to strengthen/add to but added some quality young talent. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that we didn’t “go for it” with a CL spot up for grabs but I’m sure we have our reasons for not doing so.

I worry about him playing as a 6 for 3 games tbh but can’t deny he’s been so important for us this season.

I’m a mess .

by me or in general ? Happy to die on this hill. We’ve had worse players get less heat than Shelvey did. The dislike for him is disproportionate, I feel. I’m convinced it’s due, in large part, to his appearance.
