Think it’s more the case that he’s terrified of getting stuck in, either for fear of injury from himself when running or from the other team in challenges. Opposing players basically just need to be on the pitch to win any contested loose ball over him. He still looks class on the ball though at least

2-0 win

Time to really turn it on in the league now. We can’t afford to finish lower than sixth now and need to be in contention for fifth at the least

Didn’t see an issue with his performance today at all. The goals they scored were at the opposite end of the ground as I was in the Gallowgate standing section but it didn’t look like he could have done anything

Was holding or checking his left thigh a lot in the first half. Looked like he was carrying a minor knock

Better going forward, I agree, so far

There are no words to describe how good this lad is. Every single game he puts in an 8/10 or more

Tremendous performance, up there with his very best. This version of Joelinton is the version that is Brazilian National Team starting standard. Just bulldozing people, some lovely touches, runs and then a fantastic finish. Doesn’t get better really

Nothing is more baffling than fans who act like they’re absolute die hards who watch the match with a grimace all game, don’t make a sound other than to criticise the players. What do they think they’re contributing

Great atmosphere, would have gone to another level if we’d managed to hold on

Fantastic approach to this game, would have won if we weren’t shagged mentally and physically

We could get a statue of Isak after he retires modelled on his performance tonight. Love him on the ball but off the ball we can’t play someone who’s not currently capable of running

Great performance, barely put a foot wrong. Excellent touches, great movement and reading of the game. Such a quality player already

Didn’t feel he was a let down, did some amazing defensive work. Sure, you want your wingers to be more clinical. The main issue is the lack of assists really but there’s still a place in the squad for him for a while to come

The biggest bottlers in european football? Nah I realise Dortmund bottled the league last season but can’t see them losing tonight. They might draw but don’t think they’ll lose

Might be worth trusting him given he knows exactly where Dubravka and Karius’s levels are at. It’s not like any of us know where Karius’s game is these days

Shame that leao starts, let’s hope he’s not fully fit. As an aside, surely Reijnders should be getting prepped for official Christmas duties with Rudolph and the rest

The way it’s worded it reads like we’re playing PSG, which is a TBG trademark. This is all on us, I don’t think we need to worry about what happens in the other game

This a TBG attempt?

Getting jiggy with it tonight lads and lasses

Does a lot for the confidence knowing that players aren’t going to be dead at 70 mins having to drop back and mount zero attacks. Having Isak to come off the bench is huge, let’s hope he goes full pelt when he comes on. Miley will come off for Longstaff at 60-70 mins you’d imagine

Looks an absolute tank, is he a target man? Pacy? What kind of player, I’ll look at some highlights but interested if anyone’s watched him closely

Wonder what this means for Ten Hag. Not getting any form of Europe, losing 0-3 to Bournemouth at home. Playing the worst style of football you can imagine. If he doesn’t get the chop soon it’s almost even a worse indictment of where they are, that they just accept this as who they are now

Asleep at the wheel
