Fucking state of that defending.

Think it was hard to get a free midweek slot in. As they are both in Europe. So brought it forward from the cup final weekend.

Merino was better up top than Havertz all along the injury has done them a favour.

Mavididi always looks lively when I see him. Surprised he wasn’t starting.

We’ve been like this on here pre-game plenty of times when Howe changes it. We’re usually wrong.

Bench is starting to look better this season. Some options to change it going forward and also to try and tighten it up in midfield and at the back.

What has happened to us as fans? We used to be one of the worst in the league for being all bitter and twisted about ex-players. Booing them, the lot. Now we’re crying in here, the Anderson thread and even re-writing history regarding Chris Wood’s time here

Good start for John Eustace at Derby.

Shades of Joelinton on that shot.

Colwill is always complaining about shit and looking for soft fouls. Moans more than a ghost having an orgasm that cunt.

This is class.

It’s not irrational. He’s one of the most annoying players in the league

Yeah. Quite looking forward to it. Draw possibly the best result for us?

I’m leaning more towards this than the system we used against Arsenal, for this game. Is Burn isn’t fit. Then we don’t even have that option tomorrow.

Sunday is good from a recovery point of view. Liverpool on the Wednesday.

Just getting all the quotes in from the Sky Sports app this morning. Doesn’t sound particularly promising regarding the timeframe.

I’m not. We don’t have any quick CB’s. He is quicker into tackles and still holds up better going up against fast players than Schar or Burn. I think they all can be aggressive. But I would say he is less likely to get rolled and exposed than the other two. Hope Burn plays. Can match up with Haaland physically, at least.

Maybe in comparison to other areas that need strengthening. So the first line of my post still sort of applies here. Even as a massive, biased fan of Pope. If we had money to spend. Then I would imagine Howe would want better and more complete goalkeepers than him and Dubravka.

Either we really are struggling badly with PSR and Pope and Dubravka might both stay. Or we are selling Pope whilst he has some value and looking to bring in Trafford/a new keeper. If Dubravka is our number one to start next season. It would be pretty uninspiring.

Sounds like Burn might play. Botman will be March based on that and Howe’s usual doublespeak. A shame if Botman misses the next 3. Just the sort of defender we needed in these games. Forest and Liverpool in particular with the pace they have going forward.

No issue with Jones getting stuck into Doucore. If that was a mackem/anyone running to our away end to give it large and cup their ear. I’d imagine quite a few of ours would go flying in. Joelinton would probably get a 10 game ban Quality scenes at the end. Enjoyed seeing all the carnage from the goal onwards.

He proper grabbed his hand all aggressive like and pulled him in. Like the Tuchel-Conte one Probably moaning about the time added on or the foul on Konate. Don’t think he has too much of a case with either.

Slot doing himself no favours here. Could derail their season a result like this and he’s just made it worse reacting like that.

Wow. What a way to end it.
