I presume with it being away there won't be VAR?

We have Liverpool away (Monday) and City at home (Saturday) either side of this game but at least there is a slightly normal amount of break

Wow, finally happened Preferred a home draw but we'll take it

Yeah, I'm not sure about him playing further forward. He absolutely could do it at a decent level but he's clearly so good at being a full back I don't see the reason for him to push forward. There's usually two reasons a full back ends up further forward, their attacking game (shooting, passing, crossing) is elite and/or their defensive game isn't that good. That doesn't apply to Livramento. I think he remains a full back and a bloody class one at that.

There was one in particular where he spun Maguire, he left him in no man's land I thought he was really good when dropping deep, either retained possession well and dragged their defenders out or managed to turn them He's brilliant, just hope he can stay injury free

Yeah, noticed this too Had a quick check and tonight he had 52 touches, completing 36 out of 40 passes Against Chelsea he had 38 touches, completing 25 out of 29 passes As a team we had similar amount of possession (416 passes Vs Chelsea and 432 Vs Man U) So the stats show he's on the ball a bit more, which supports the eye test that he's being trusted more and rightly so, as he's mostly making the right choice when he gets it

He was brilliant today (I mean he's always brilliant) but the way he just kept carving them open Gutted he didn't quite have his shooting boots on

That was his best game for us, so composed, excited to see how far he can really go He's always played with confidence but when you more than hold your own away to PSG then it's bound to have given him an extra boost and that was evident tonight

Been the better side by some distance, played some lovely stuff but unfortunately we haven't taken the lead And the longer it stays like this they'll come into it more with their options off the bench

Heckingbottom was seemingly under pressure a month or so back, has done nothing since The result today was awful, be surprised if he's still in a job come Monday afternoon

Yeah, got a horrible feeling I can't shake that we'll not get a positive result At full strength with options off the bench I'd be confident we smash them

It will be Alex, they obviously aren't aware we have another Murphy

Finishing 3rd and there still being a decent chance of qualifying has taken a lot of jeopardy out of the group stages

Group D looking canny

Surely that will be Heckingbottom getting the sack

Players like Murphy are difficult to replace, not necessarily based on ability but he's versatile and more importantly he's a positive character, I've never seen a sub being subbed that was as happy as him Having said that due to FFP we do need to sell players from time to time and a fee of £20-25m is pretty good Guess Howe will have to weigh up whether the fee is worth losing such a valuable member of the squad

I ordered 4 nufc tops back in July (2 adults, home and away, 2 kids, home and away) There was two issues with the order, firstly only 2 of them arrived (one and one kid) and secondly they were Celtic tops Opened up a dispute with DHGate, the seller offered a resolution of £0.01 and he also messaged asking to allow him to sort it but I declined the resolution and full refund was authorised. They didn't ask me to return the 2 the arrived (they were personalised so not sure if that was a factor)

By the time January arrives we should have Barnes back, maybe Murphy too and as others have said he'll be away to AFCON, by the time that's done the above two along with Anderson/Willock will be back Him staying at Feyenoord is absolutely the right thing to do for the remainder of the season, especially as he's getting regular minutes In the summer it will be interesting to see what we do, if he stays there is the luxury of him not taking a squad space and Howe can take a closer look at him Though I'm sure for 2025-26 he still doesn't take a squad space so even another season long loan could be a good idea

They've got a solution for dissent already, they just need to enforce it Sin bins will just become an inconsistent farce They should focus on ensuring everyone knows what is covered under dissent (should know already) and then be firm and consistent in applying it How often do we see players clearly swearing at the referee and absolutely nothing happens, especially if it's the bigger players at the "bigger" clubs

We are just lucky that teams don't turn up against us whereas because they play carpet football they are seen as a scalp so everyone raises their game

Can't see him going out on loan, Howe had made it clear he's part of the first team squad, he'll get enough minutes here and continues to be around Howe/players Don't really see what value a loan would offer, especially if it's at a lower level

Fair play, she's done the right thing Why wasn't she the ref yesterday?

Ref being sent to the monitor, let's see if it's overturned No idea who this commentator is but that's never a penalty

That's never a penalty man, ridiculous

Joke penalty against Copenhagen at first viewing
