I agree, both times it was just an instinctual flick away. I guess it‘s there as a form of conditioning, they’ll very quickly stop doing it when it leads to cards. I get that a stance needed to be taken as some people were taking the piss but it does feel weird seeing it lead to a sending off which was so mild

Does sound extremely concerning, don’t beat Man U 5-0 and that’s that, do we think?

That cross yesterday was fantastic, if he can add quality crossing to his game consistently then he’s pretty much a complete player. He doesn’t need elite dribbling on the wing as he beats his man so easily for pace

I agree with @bobbydazzla in terms of there being too many areas of the ground where it’s almost impossible to sing consistently as no one around you joins in. The solution is to make more singing sections in each stand. That way, you reduce the risk of the ballot landing you in a dead zone

I mean, the Jury will be out on Hall until midway through next season and deservedly so. He’s a great prospect but his development was never close to what Tino’s was pre-injury. Expect them both to be great for us but Tino is on a different level, good chance he becomes one of our best three players for years

Absolutely love finished like Gordon’s

Wouldn’t call it a soulless experience like. The Dortmund game was a real low point for me but there have been some decent home crowds so far this season. Looking forward to Man U and Milan coming up where I think the atmosphere should be class in both. Needs to be absolutely bouncing for both games and I’ll be gutted if it isnt

He’s arrived at that level, a bit like Bruno last season where he’s putting in faultless performances every single game

We’ve heard what Splinter has to say, but what about Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo?

Tonali not in that victory picture? Too busy at Grosvenor’s was he?

Aye, I’d love them to stay up. Perhaps they have the best chance of the promoted three. Sheff Utd will end up bottom I’m sure

Never want to see this lad on the bench again

Hard to see past him being a top five left wing player in the league for the next decade. That’s unless he starts playing other positions more regularly as he clearly has the versatility to play very well in other roles too

Pretty embarrassing result for Chelsea. Enormous credit to Howe for an exceptional result but Poch should really be starting to answer some questions about how he hasn’t fashioned a side out of the hundreds of players he has

Guaranteed WUM at this stage

Give them each a run out, 2 mins each until full time

It’s so bizarre how adversarial Ando is with Razor at times even while Razor is so chill

Radio Newcastle lads kept saying it was Isak who scored rather than Space Jam

It’s weird that his kicking is somehow getting worse. His baseline was probably the worst or bottom three in the league but he’s now definitely the worst kicker in the league

Really need some of our senior lads to step up this half, looking at you Jow, Bruno and Trippier

Didn’t rivière miss one from 2 yards? Can’t remember it clearly but remember the sickness that followed it

Joelinton has one type of goal that he can reliably score. It’s the goal where he’s basically played in with decent space with just the keeper to beat. If you expect him to score striker’s goals (e.g. instinct finishes, cute finishes, finds himself some space with good movement and places it neatly into the corner) it’s not going to happen. And I love the guy

Well done VAR, got yourself front billing again, top marks

Fuck off, honestly

Doku’s beaten his man completely almost every time
