Away Toon

Sterling is a througholy unlikable individual as are most footballers, and although I'm not sure I've ever seen any other footballer make so many chances by himself, he's a sprinter, he misses most of them as he's an extremely poor finisher. Be ready for major frustration from him in Russia.

Excellent today and definitely deserving of a place in England's 23.

I doubt it. West Ham are currently a more ambitious club than we are and pay way higher wages.

This game was the perfect advertisement for VAR, so many incorrect decisions.

Well we are playing better than we did against Everton if that's any consolation.

Watching this in the States, bit of a realty check for some on here, even WBA have better players than us.

Any forward is going to struggle as we are just so negative and have so little possession.

We might not be going to get relegated but we are a championship team and most of the time not a very good one. The amount of wank at the bottom of the premier league this season is outstanding.

I dont think that Dubravka can be expected to come for that cross.

Awful defending especially by Lascelles.

That's criminal by Perez

I'll never be comfortable with giving the opposition so much possession.

If Rafa leaves because he doesn't get the backing he needs and the new manager turns out to be the idiot they probably will be, unless they are given substantial investment, we'll get relegated and the club will be worth fuck all.

Glorious

Slightly attack minded side picked by Pep this evening.

Maybe what is unacceptable is that he's scored 1 goal in 39 Premier League appearances for us.

Rose, Young, Bertrand, Shaw just for starters. Just because Dummett is looking defensively better doesn't alter the fact that he is an abominable footballer that treats the ball like a grenade.

Whether you agree with Southgate or not he's not picked Smalling because of his limitations on the ball, and Lascelles fits into the same category.

Absolute tripe since we scored

I don't think there is too much wrong with Merino as a player, but there's a lot wrong with him playing in a midfield two. In a 433 or the furthest forward in a diamond I'm sure he'd look better.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd have all looked shit for weeks

Palace deserve to stay up just for the crowd and the noise they make. Best atmosphere in the league.

Well at least we won't have to rebuild for next season if we do go down.

If you lose badly to Swansea, there are no kind or easy games coming up.

I'm still on an 8 and have been all season. It's a good job there is a far higher percentage of shit teams than normal or we would be toast.
