Think that’s about as bad as refereeing gets

Outstanding finish

Fuck you Man U, you turds

This game has been really lacking in quality in the first ten mins

That’s the Jonjo we know and love

There’s no way he stays if they don’t get promoted. Hopefully he comes here

They should create a new variant to the scoring system where it remains as it is for everything, included score draws but 0-0 ends with both sides getting 0 points. Would be amazing to root for 0-0 in this sort of match and would produce more attacking football* *not entirely serious but also not entirely joking

It’s definitely a priority

Aye, can’t be fucked with it just being a jolly for some when there are / will be thousands who are desperate to be in the ground every other week

Howe doing his part yet again

What on earth was Doucoure doing with that second challenge that got him sent off, was a red in itself

Think it’s caveman if it’s a blanket ‘no women for men’s games’ but if it’s ‘I don’t like the women who currently comment on men’s games’ it’s a bit different. I think we can all agree that most commentators, male or female, are shite

He has the potential to play in multiple positions which will give us a lot of flexibility but for now it’s identifying a position where he’s dangerous. We’ll find out a lot more next week as this game was never going to be easy for a new player to come into, especially when he’s supported by Burn on that side

Da Joelinton too, get in

He’s not going to be starting every game for the next 3.5 years. He always gives everything, he’s been our top scorer this season, he does a huge amount to help our overall play and he’ll continue to do so. Hopefully we’ll get a fantastic right winger in this season who is more direct and has more technical ability and then Miggy becomes a great alternative option, especially if we’re in Europe. Let’s not get on the back of a player who deserves pretty much the least criticism this season after Pope, Bruno and Jow

And also, criticism is totally fine always. It’s just overblown criticism or knee jerk nonsense that’s an issue. Criticising a manager for making poor decisions tactically or with player selection is always fair game. Doesn’t change the fact he’s a great manager and has worked wonders, but does mean he can look to improve and that’s to be expected. The longer it isn’t rectified the more criticism is merited and it would become worrying if he doesn’t make this change next week

Yes

I don’t really mind him losing the ball with passes in the opposition half but the amount of stray passes in our half is mounting and that’s what’s worrying

Agree that in the games where he gets less time on the ball it always happens. I think he’s shown signs of improving this part of his game in 2023 but it remains a weakness and one which we can’t really afford if we want to cement ourselves as a top 6 side going forward. Hopefully he can improve further

He had a poor game today for sure, his number one problem of taking too long on the ball was a fault in several moments, especially for the chance from 8 yards and one where it got nicked off him and they broke on us. The best thing about his game is his movement, he does read the game extremely well

There are changes I’d like to see, Burn <> Targett Miggy <> Murphy (I actually wouldn’t expect much from Murphy but Almiron could do with a rest and Murphy’s sub performances recently have shown he offers something different and that he’s in form Trippier <> Manquillo (if only to give Trippier a breather) All of the above changes are arguable, especially as Targett is coming back after a long injury lay-off. If he’d been match fit I’ve have played Targett weeks ago though. What’s not arguable and hasn’t been for weeks is: Wilson <> Isak It absolutely has to happen next week

Fairly anonymous, not particularly noteworthy for anything other than some very safe passing sideways

Massive game for determining where we finish this season. Win it and we’re back on track. Draw and the rot sets in a little bit more. Lose and our form could falter even more

This ref’s been so weak. Blows for anything, mainly for them

His last five games at least coming on as a sub have been impressive. I’ve been really critical of him for over a year but he’s actually been really direct and has shown some quality too. I don’t think it would translate if he started but I feel he actually deserves more time than he’s getting
