Mackems losing at home BUT it's Oxford and a shite league so they'll end up winning easily.

The problem as always comes down to a lack of investment, our full backs are largely shite and that's because we've spent next to nowt on them.

 

Enrique was a decent amount of money at the time and he turned out to be class.

 

We would need to spend 10m+ plus to be getting a decent full back.

I thought dodgy touch aside he was good against Spurs BUT awful against Cardiff and tonight.

Howey was superb, absolutely nailed it.

 

As for Bellamy, I think he still wants to crawl up Ashley's arse BUT he's a coward and he didn't have the balls to take on someone that clearly knew what they were talking about. So ended up coming up with that rubbish about him being a brilliant businessman (it's a football show, who gives a shite) and that he needs to sell.

 

Howey should replace Shola for our match day coverage.

How is that not a pen?

Get in, undeserved BUT I'll not complain

That free kick, ffs

That's just typical, waste minutes on that free kick and it just gets wellied over, absolute bullshit. I'd rather not have the free kick and save the time.

Murphy on for Muto, for some reason Atsu still on the pitch

That moment summed the game up for us, Muto thinking the ball is going for a corner, their right back then hitting it off us to get a goal kick

You just know this one's going to penalties.

You think we're going to score? Optimistic

What on earth is Rafa waiting for?

There's so much shite that needs to come off BUT Atsu and Ki for starters would do

Atsu needs to come off for Murphy right away

This is horrific to watch

Atsu wouldn’t get into the Sunderland team on this evidence.

 

Longstaff looks decent.

 

Ki, again is totally shite.

 

Fernandez and Schär growing into it but miles off what Lascelles and Lejeune had going.

 

Think he's looked poor tbh. Not judging him like he's allowed a poor game in his first proper match for us, but he's looked a bit out of his depth so far.

Yep, not been impressed with him so far, could be nerves BUT his touch and awareness haven't been great.

 

 

Looked a blatant dive, though he's taking our players on for fun

They look a better footballing side than us, we're struggling to string a few passes together.

Kenedy got wrecked

Well that's went well

Mourinho defeat is a lush sight, hope this finishes 4 or 5

Quality header that, get in.

The pitch in the Barca game is awful

He signed this contract in 2016 just after we got relegated, he clearly thought Ashley wouldn't be as destructive as he's been in the past and he wasn't alone in thinking that.

 

Having a go at Rafa is not the right thing to do here, he's very much on our side.

 

 

Because leaving now means it will cost him and whilst he probably could have a case of constructive dismissal why should be have to go through all of that when he can just walk away next summer.
