The Prophet

I'll trust Bunce, Howe and the sports scientists call like

Thought it just looked a routine sub?

Tonali should bury that.

Totally lost his head. He's a moron for giving the ref a decision to make, but it did feel like a soft red for what was effectively a shove.

At least it's one position where we have decent depth.

The absolute fucking worst.

I've been quite critical of recent performances like, it's just been a bit of a scrappy game.

Didn't even celebrate, fuck VAR.

The second half performance hasn't been that bad like.

I think we've been better going forward. What a miss.

Nice proactive subs from Howe.

Really poor from Gordon for the goal.

We've not been terrible, but we've been wasteful when we've had the ball.

We're clearly set up to sit in a block and hit them on the counter, but we've not looked very convincing.

Looks like we're set up like we did v Spurs at SJP. Quite deep with two players high up the pitch at all times, usually Isak and Gordon.

Finger crossed it's just a knock.

Completely agree with Baldwards, this is exactly the type of game we've struggled in this season. Everyone needs to be on it.

At least with the current inconsistency you have an idea of how we'll play in the first ten minutes.

A for me. He'd arguably get into any side in the league.

It's a trade off and whether you think a higher percentage of correct decisions is worth the decline in experience as a football fan (re-refing borderline decisions, the length of time to make a decision, the lack of communication, etc). There isn't a right or wrong answer, but in my experience watching and supporting football, I don't think that it is.

I'm massively soiling the sheets for this one.

I understand the fairness element of it, but when VAR starts becoming involved in highly subjective decisions that aren't "clear and obvious" is that fair? Or is it an additional and unnecessary layer of officiating?

I barely celebrate a goal now, it's always in the back of your mind that some dweeb in Stockley Park might chalk it off. The one time I got carried away was when Isak buried it v Arsenal in the Carabao Cup SF second leg

NO's ability to take a game unrelated to NUFC and find things to be absolute fannies about is unmatched.
