Lush Vlad

Nobody has ever looked as impressed with themselves. As that cunt does every time he appears on Sky. Smug prick.

Not a criticism of him per se and like I said. No issues if it is unchanged. I just thought he was very bad (who wasn’t) defending space and against any kind of movement last week and again down at Fulham. Certain games suit certain players. Like today. Botman was never going to start over him when they have an 8ft striker Burn has been brilliant this season. He still has his strengths and weaknesses and Botman is clearly the long term choice at LCB.

11 in 29 (first season in the Prem and spent a lot of it injured) 25 in 40 *19 in 25 and counting Ridiculous numbers.

Was Veltman the one who got away with the handball at SJP in our game this season? If so, no such luck today.

Sels back to his NUFC form today. Awful for the 4th and could have got to the 5th.

Hopefully going to this. Fulham have been decent this season and whilst we weren’t in form. They beat us with ease down there. Assuming it will be unchanged again and no issues with that. Although Joelinton isn’t performing well at the minute. But I wouldn’t be against Botman coming in for Burn. He had a mare in the away game from memory and their movement and pace in their attack could maybe cause him issues again.

I feel like loads of people decided it was given as a professional foul and denying a goalscoring opportunity. When there is no way that would happen from that position on the pitch. And/or the first angle and the real time decision. Then with all the evidence, new angles and the fact it’s confirmed as serious foul play. People have just doubled down and can’t accept it. I don’t even think it’s particularly contentious.

Not on set pieces and wasn’t really starting regularly until Liverpool onwards. Impressive.

Howe said in his post-match interview that Bruno and Isak has been ill this week and implied they did well to even play. Not seen today. But he looked really sluggish last week and back to his old self with some of his bad habits. His lack of athleticism has always been apparent and isn’t going to go away. But I still think he has set the bar so high with his performances. That anything below a 7 and he looks terrible.

He has his flaws, no player is perfect. But what a season he is having. To reemphasise my point from the other day. I want us to go after a right footer to play RW and that is based on watching him for us this season. The balance of the team is much better and Isak clearly loves playing with him/a more natural winger on that side.

Nah. I can see both sides of the argument. But absolutely no issue with that being a red. Players do that going for the ball and can get a red card because of where the studs are and a raking, stamping motion. Whether he means it or not. The ball is nowhere near and it’s clumsy as fuck if all he was trying to do was trip him. I saw some comments going on like it was the softest red of all time. Then I saw it and couldn’t understand what the problem was?!

Only seen the 3 minute Sky highlights. Horrendous for the first goal. But looks like we should have had 4-5 at least and were unlucky not to bag more. That monotone twat on co-comms for the penalty BTW….. Must have been Mr Magoo. Blind cunt.

“Would you do me?” ”Absolutely not Baldwards. You creepy, annoying fucker.”

That second goal was a beaut and massive for him. I feel like he has been in that position loads this season and oddly, his first touch has often let him down. At other times, he just hasn’t been as clinical as he usually is and wasted the chance. If he was scoring those one on ones like last season. He’d probably have 25-30 goals already What a player, man. Need to try and keep hold of him at all costs.

This lad’s having a hell of a debut. Woodgate’esque

Our result last week not looking quite so horrendous now

The way Arsenal fans were going on. I thought it was going to be a howler. But in the modern game. That is a red, for me. Even though I think it is a bit soft. Gone to trip him and ended up raking down his leg onto his ankle. Hardly a terrible decision.

How we looking now?

Not watching thankfully. Back to conceding early goals like earlier in the season. Going to fuck us up unless we reply straight away like Spurs.

The hooped kit would have been better, no?

it’s somehow managed to leave the atmosphere.

Well yeah, exactly my point. It was almost more noticeable than listening to Carragher or Neville on comms. When they're invariably on their club's games.

I don't think he's back until next weekend.

McCoist being so overly critical of every Rangers chance. Quite jarring with how positive he usually is. “He should be lacing that on the volley, back across goal into the top corner.” ”Don’t lean back. Get over it on the half volley and get it on target.” ”What’s he doing there?! Should have killed it dead on his chest, lobbed it over the defender’s head and volleyed it in from 40 yards.” Lol. Butland
