Love the lad, great CB that can be relied on when needed. Most definitely not a LB that has any attacking ability and really weakens us when getting involved in attack.

Get this shit out the way and fast

@Boycott Saudi Most of your fans couldn't care less either lad. You keep fighting the good fight though, sure you'll be off to Qatar demonstrating how you really feel if they buy yous, just like billy big balling it on message boards. https://www.facebook.com/www.JOE.co.uk/videos/597336001726465/

Thought ASM was decent today - obviously with the exception of the occasion he fluffed the ball and it went out for a GK. There are other upgrades we need to be making far more important than replacing him to be honest anyway. As mentioned in weeks previous, it does not help having to play with Burn on that flank as his partner attacking back up.

The frustrating thing is teams know exactly how to play against us now and we do not have quality in depth for a Plan B Everyone knows Almiron/Trippier link-up, everyone knows Dan Burn is the weak link and has nothing to contribute in terms of attack on that side, everyone knows if you nullify Bruno then that massively stops our attacking pulse. I do feel for Howe because I can't fully state he should be rotating more or have alternative solutions as he was simply overachieving with the best he had at his disposal and even manage to get a tune out of some other very mediocre players. January was a month we really should have done a lot better with. If its really to do with FFP for us to go all out again in the summer then that's great but this massively relies on us finishing in a European position.

Teams have figured out we struggle to break down teams that defend in numbers as we don't have the quality for it. The amount of draws we have had speaks volumes for that fact. Will be a tense second half of the season just hoping there is no fall off.

Looking forward to the day Dan Burn is not playing for us at fullback anymore Seriously.

Neither are glaring goalkeeper errors. Felt the foul for their first goal was soft as fuck in a bad place to give it.

There is a circular debate on here at the moment that anyone claiming we had not taken the best chance at consolidating a top 4 position at this point to the very end as "season over" Top 7 is great but there's been more than a couple of missed opportunities this season despite how great it has been so far. Acknowledging both is not bed-wetting.

Shame really as Top 4 was ours to lose - draws against the likes of Leeds and Bournemouth (x2) has come back to bite us. Spurs are still choke artists.

Hope he's worked with a Psychologist to fully get over what happened against Madrid

Not gutted at that performance tbh considering it's only our second league defeat of the season and a red card to a goalkeeper 20 mins in. Trippier has been well below average (pure crap tonight) the last two months. Nick Pope with the brain fart to end all brain farts. Didn't see us winning the final next week even with our best 11. Feel Man United hitting form and their squad being better (and more expensive anyway) was going to just edge it. Still, it is a final so anything can happen. Priority either way after next weekend is a top 7 finish please, hope we do not go on to fully implode.

Had enough chances to nick a point here

Trippier's form has fallen off a cliff, really need a competent challenger for his place. Shame really as solid and reliable his free kicks and deliveries are as well as his general play - the last 2 months he has been piss poor.

If there was ever a time to redeem your career as a Goalkeeper, this is it lad

Trippier fucking hell

Fuck me Chelsea are absolutely hopeless

I guess Howe is planning to bring on Gordon and Wilson as impact subs

How incredibly sad. Had a soft spot for him as he was reliable in large patches of our Championship season and clearly a very humble as well as decent lad. RIP Christian

5th place finish was a corn kernel in the massive dung heap that was the rest of his time here The man who single handedly gave the mackems a leg to fucking stand on again with that diabolical derby record. Thanks for the Europa league quarter final and 5th place finish. No thanks for some seriously seriously bad runs and stats as well as some dogshit PR. I even assosciate that clown Carver with him, it's hard not to. When we won, he would find a way to aim a dig at the fans that this is all in spite of us. When we lost it was all about accepting the situation, managing expectations and what we should accept being. He would never come out with anything about ambition or take any blame for his shortcomings and incapabilities. Alan "we was tired" Pardew. Still I dislike Bruce, McLaren and Kinnear more than him. But that's like saying you're the King of the Toilet and not the Emperor of the sewers.

His worst game for us today Not really sure what he was playing but he was hardly central considering he was starting as what was supposed to be the spearhead of our attack.

Lol, Bournemouth player with a great rendition of play dead there. Glass cunts.

Bournemouth sub sniffing the poppers before coming on. Wild.

Yes I watch our games... Clearly I meant when Targett was on the bench even after returning from injury prior to his current one. Burn was kept in because we were winning not because of him being outstanding as a whole at fullback.

100% - Burn is a competent physical towering defender, absolutely nothing more. Felt bad for Targett losing his place as he is far more effective offensively
