Might benefit from a little Kieron Dyer syndrome where he gets better every game you don't see him because the alternatives are just as chronically useless.

Good movement but ignored by the rest of the side who have either been instructed to, or would rather, randomly ping the ball into the box and pray for a ricochet. Playing him with Woltemade might be interesting but it won't happen in a month of Sundays under the current manager.

"I thought Anthony played well" when asked about his favourite player by the Sky interviewer.

If tonight is your bar of doing very well I'd fucking love to work for you, Rod.

He's total shite, this boy. If we don't send him back to Southampton at the end of the reason we're fucking insane.

We didn't play them off the park they decided to sit back and defend their lead and did it at a relative canter, something we couldn't be accused of this season. I would not call one good chance created in 90+ minutes against a Man U side missing their two best players and by the end half full of FM regens "very good", either. It's basically ping the ball into the box and hope it goes in, otherwise we have absolutely no clue or vision.

"won't or can't impact games in flight with substitutes or changes to the system." Did it impact the game? No, we lost and created basically one chance of note all night. Don't let your inability to read get in the way, though.

A full week to prepare for that and finally got some of that precious training time he's always harping on about, only to serve up more insipid, tentative and predictable shite away from home again. A Man U side missing a bunch of players, including their two best, and allergic to clean sheets all season long, and we barely threatened their goal all night. 13 points pissed away from winning positions and 0 gained from losing positions, the sign of someone who either won't or can't impact games in flight with substitutes or changes to the system. This season has seen a clear and consistent pattern of regression in the mentality, performance and sum of the parts of this side. There's problems everywhere you look and he isn't fixing any of them. Good thing he always learns from his mistakes though, I'm sure the next away game will be totally different.

If only we could play ourselves next time we're holding a lead. Even we would manage to hang on against this drivel.

Dorgu is a cheating little cunt. Fuck off.

This constant loyalty to Gordon come what may will be one of the things that eventually leads to the manager's demise.

Didn't think that one was a pen on another look, looked like it hit him in the chest and bounced onto his arm which by PL rules isn't a pen.

Knew they'd find a reason not to give it.

Unlucky Hall. Best player in black and white by a mile.

Oh look, a second and third proactive substitution by the opposition manager. It'll never catch on.

The fucks happened to Tonali? Awful

Another manager making a proactive half time change there I see. Fancy that.

Far too proactive and early a change, that. Wait til we see 20 more minutes of Man U on top, a second goal and then four lads in toon tops suddenly summoned to the touchline.

These balls into the box are made to measure for Wissa, yet we won't see him til about 84 minutes.

This is painful to watch. Do we not practice passing?

Absolutely chod.

Ramsdale is fucking crap. Another shot whistling straight past his hand.

Oh for fucks sake man.

Feel like they look much sharper than we do early doors.

Highly doubt we're sitting down match fit £55m signings for that reason when there's three untried academy lads making up the numbers, like.
