I'd hope we are exploring options, at the very least. If Howe/the team genuinely thinks none of them are viable and / or good enough to displace Dubravka then fine, but it makes me feel a lot better that they're at least investigating what's out there.

Every single time I've ever lost a corners bet by one team, it's always a team who scores more than the number of corners they've got. A team will happily knock in 6 or 7 goals and somehow come up with 2 corners in the match to wreck my longlist of 3+ per team. Happens every time!!

Really hope Longstaff can give us 60-70 mins here. Think it's going to be a tight game, hopefully we can edge it and Dortmund do us a favour. Gonna be a nervy day at work Wednesday!!

I'm sympathetic about today, he's totally strung with what we have in the cupboard. It was shit to watch but they all just looked absolutely spent, and the step down from Pope to Dubravka is a yawning chasm. Unless he tells us otherwise afterwards we didn't get any more injuries, which is good, and we got Longstaff and Wilson back into the action. Hopefully the crowd can get them through Milan and as the days trundle on we get more options back. It's painful watching at the moment but there's not loads that I think could be done massively different, other than maybe using the admittedly crap bench options a bit sooner when the game is done and saving key legs. Some of them were crap today but we were on a hiding to nothing really.

would sir like some Chapstick after he's finished kissing arse?

You attacked me first and I'm a pathetic internet warrior righteo. I've admitted plenty times when I've been wrong before, I'm right about Dubravka, live with it.

I've always said Dubravka was crap, I've never said any different, turns out I was right. You're a thick bastard at the best of times anyway but clearly having an especially divvy day today.

Hip hip hooray 4-1

Eddie will probably have him doing shuttle runs down the side of the pitch for 90+ minutes during the game just to make sure he doesn't get a break.

I hate him. He's an absolute joke, he's shit.

Useless jug eared gormless cunt Dubravka is. Sick of the fucking useless bastard already.

That should be a red, not that it'll affect the outcome

Still flogging Tripps for another 90 mins

Totally agree, but he'll continue to flog a dead horse. Said this at Everton too, just getting some of the bodies off for a breather when the game is dead was a no brainer and he chose not to. Don't get it at all.

Fucking crap. He's absolutely finished.

Dubravka is a fucking useless cunt. What the hell was he doing there?

Great to see a nice balanced Sky panel - Michael Dawson and Jamie Redknapp. Surprised they don't just go the whole hog and have Darren Anderton and Alan Sugar doing the commentary.

Worst thing about this is despite being absolutely fucking dump we've had two golden chances and could easily be 2-2 here.

Please take him off, Eddie. He's fucking shattered.

Trippier AGAIN for fucks sake. This is fucking shite.

Pathetic powderpuff finish from Almiron. We're such a fucking chore to watch at the minute, can't even take chances that the opposition gift to us.

Fuck off Bruno. What a lazy, shit, brainless touch that was.

Been coming that. We've been fucking shite.

How the fuck did we waste that situation? Fucks sake.

Just please, please - no more injuries today.
