Hahahhaha. Fuck off you French ninja turtle prick.

He’s only just doing this now? Not after all the other constant stream of injuries he got?! I hope for our sake he stays fit until the end of the season and weighs in with some big goals. But he’s been fucked from injuries since before Howe joined.

I don’t think it’s been a bad game at all. A bit short on goal action and chances. But been some right pinball stuff and played at a decent pace.

Had just come in here to say similar. Camavinga has been outstanding.

Nah. He’s learnt from the best. The apprentice has become the master. He’ll be biting and all sorts soon enough.

Because they all thought they were signing him and be chose RM? Or maybe because of their ‘Scouse not English’ thing? Fuck knows

New manager bounce for our game then.

He is the most Uruguayan player of all time.

Bought Salah first, didn’t they? But yeah, Alisson and VVD were pretty much the missing pieces that won them the league.

Swap deal for Raphinia, Olmo and Pedri, I heard.

Not only one left winger, but two in two windows. That's not a massive dig, as I actually really like Barnes and probably saw it as a deal worth getting involved with. But now seems like we're reluctant to play Gordon right/he's reluctant to play there. So we've spent the best part of £100m for two LW's. Yet after all this time, we still have no guile or creativity at the business end of the pitch and we still don't have a RW/attacking mid type.

I don't want to exaggerate. But after Andy Hinchcliffe. That Rory bloke is possibly the worst person involved with football. I heard him on Talksport once. Just sounded like a Simon Jordan Junior. So much nonsense and complete waffle to arrive at a very basic and boring point or opinion. Shoehorning in as many big words and buzz words as possible.

I'm still fuming about West Ham, mind That second half performance is up there with the worst half we've seen under Howe at SJP, I reckon and we can't be repeating that again when chasing a game. The first half was actually very good in lots of ways. Now I can look at it a bit more objectively.

Fulham have just been beaten 4-1 at home by Wolves. Brighton have put in some good performances and beat the likes of us and City and just won at Bournemouth which is a tough place to go. All by the odd goal and had large spells of those games where they were lucky to stay level or ahead. Our game in particular. The mighty Man City lost 5 in a row before last night and then blew a 3 goal lead to go 6 without a win. Even Chelsea who are much improved, have been a bit up and down with their performances and some of their results. I get consistency is an issue with Howe and it is a concern that we seem to be repeating some of the same mistakes as previous seasons. But you're making out like we're the only team in the chasing pack behind the usual top 3 with performance and consistency issues. I'd imagine there is a reason the league is so tight this year.

He started against Spurs and I seem to remember he looked sharp even before scoring. He hasn’t been good from the off overall, I agree. It does seem like the game can pass him by at times. But what’s his longest run of starts for us? 3-4 at most? Seems hard to properly judge him. Like I’ve said numerous times on here. I’m not having Murphy or Almiron starting ahead of him at all like they were earlier in the season and at times last season. Plus it’s not like Gordon has really done much this season, either.

That confirmed? Sounds like he's back this weekend the bit I read this morning.

I'd drop him for Saturday. He's been poor all season bar the odd game, I don't think he's played that well for England, either. I know we lose some of our defensive ability taking him out. But we can't score for shit and we keep leaving Barnes on the bench. Whose goals and assists have been consistently high for the last however many years. I don't understand why he isn't deserving of a bit of a run of games and just gets the odd cameo. When the player/players ahead of him are not contributing at the attacking end of the pitch. I get the impression the injury he is seemingly playing through might be limiting him, a bit. So it's not even like it's dropping him. It's giving him a chance to rest before the Liverpool game. Where I think he'd get a lot more joy than Palace away. He's played for NUFC, England or at least been involved with international squads non-stop since the U21 Euros, hasn't he?

Pep signing a new deal to make sure he gets a bit of compo when he gets the Spanish Archer.

101 in 125 CL games now isn’t it? Outrageous behaviour.

My word. Whatever is going on at City.

I don’t think he’s what he used to be at all and the game has now evolved past what he brings. Not a chance he’s this automatic trophy manager now, either. Didn’t manage it at Spurs and they’re less cursed than us, for example. He’d fuck off all the fans and everyone else involved with the club in no time. The football would be woeful. The transfer dealings terrible and it would set us back long term, not help us. If we are planning on getting rid of Howe should results and the league position not improve from last season. Then I’d hope to fuck we have a better plan than appointing this cunt.

Goonbags running riot. Sporting equally as shit that half as they were against City in the first half. But no let up from Arsenal and they’ll actually defend, unlike City.

Nah. I don't think so. I think maybe he got his angles wrong for the goal, mind. Just another error to cap off the catalogue of fuck ups that proceeded it. I thought he was pretty good otherwise and his kicking was decent (by his standards). I thought Joelinton, Hall and Pope were the only ones to come out with much credit from the game. Despite all making mistakes and having some shaky moments.

Haven’t we drawn 1-1, 0-0 and lost 2-0 under Howe at their placr, though? Playing pretty shit and looking toothless in all 3? Yes squads and managers change. But I can understand people being a bit down on our chances. Especially after the shit show last night fresh in the memory and some pretty tame away performances this season.
