This. I think I have PTSD of seeing them mess with the stripes' width/location/alignment from that era. Every year, someone mocks up something crisp, clean and simple that it makes you wonder why they don't do it. Keeps wacky designers in jobs, I guess?

No. Just no.

Get Willock, Elanga and Wissa sold. The first two carry the ball out of play all the time and the latter still isn't deemed good enough to be ahead of Osula?

Howay the lads, don't make regret choosing this over picking up all the leaves in the garden again!

Not enough pressure on the ball which leads to that corner. Unnecessary.

Did Willock want that? Looked a bit miffed

Was thinking this would happen when the teams came out. So yeah, surprised they didn't try it more. Wouldn't like to see BDB in that position vs any decent opposition.

Annoyingly he gets wrestled/pushed too easily so really isn't much good unless we're counter attacking. He's trying at least.

These players look flogged and we've not added any quality with transfers. Gone backwards if anything.

How much for Callum Wilson? If we can get him on the cheap for a year it might help while Wissa settles and picks up game time/sharpness.

Have to agree sadly. If we go there needing a win we'll probably end up spanked 3-0, so better to get the win at home and frustrate them away (best bet, but probably also unlikely).

Cheeky bid for Thiago? At the very least might turn his head and disrupt Brentford.

Has there been any talk of playing both Nick and Wissa? Big man/Little man combo? Couple of deft touches from Nick occupying defenders and send Wissa through. Sacrifices a midfielder of course, which I imagine is why it won't be entertained.

I'm clutching at straws for reasons we'll capitulate already. I'll give my head a wobble. Let's smash these bastards.

Can't tell whether them missing Fernandes is a good thing or not. He bails them out, but he's also why their midfield doesn't work - so without him, will they actually get a sensible midfield by accident?

Am I going mad? Why do we now play a 12.30 kickoff saturday whereas Fulham get to play monday? Our next game after that is Man U on the 26th, so Sunday would have made more sense? Or is this over-analysing/bed wetting?

We even seem to purposely slow down and wait for everyone to catch up or overlap. By then it's too late, they're too organised. At one point Tonali could have bombed on into space to make the option but instead he stopped and waited...

That was generally infuriating to watch.

I should have spent this time raking the leafs on my lawn.

Happens to the best of us!

And you didn't tell Eddie???!

What are Thiaw and Botman doing on that first goal? Only just seeing these highlights now so forgive if it's not them, but Welbeck seems to just go between the two and neither of them gets close to him - free run through the middle, so much time to pick what he wants to do.

This. Some injuries for them, hopefully, and a day less to train.

Is the long throw thing working? Doesn't seem like it, we always just end up handing them possession it seems...
