Lush Vlad

I think I’m his biggest fan on here after you. But that is a wild take. I’m not sure he should be dropped off the back of one shit game. Or you’d play a totally different 11 next game. But he was all over the shop today and we already struggle at times because of his distribution. So taking emotion and my own personal connections out of it. I can understand those wanting Ramsdale in.

Changed the system slightly and Tonali went deeper. Not sure what he’ll do now. But it would need to be fairly drastic to turn our away form around. Ramsey and Ramsdale getting a go from the start? Gordon benched? Dunno.

Think he has been mostly brilliant since Ramsdale signed and I’m one of his biggest supporters. But if he doesn’t bounce back with a run of solid performances. He’ll be on the bench soon enough. They were all shit today. But Pope and Bruno were particularly shite.

You’d think after making the save. He might show some urgency to try and get hold of the ball

Guessing something must be up with him? Load, injury or illness? No other reason to take him off. Even more baffling when we saw so much of the ball second half. But had Osula up there who is useless unless he has space to run into.

Had 10-15 mins at the start of the half. Bur just a disjointed mess now. The subs have been poor. Guessing Woltemade is injured/ill/been playing too much. As Osula makes no sense with the game state and other subs we made.

Midfield looks miles better with Ramsey in it. Joelinton also doing fairly well out wide in retaining possession. Still creating absolutely fuck all.

We are one of the worst teams around when we have a 1-0 lead. I know the other team will come onto us a bit more and take risks. But we’re always so passive and just drop right off. Considering how good Howe is at almost everything else. It is baffling that it seems to happen almost every time we get the first goal.

Bar the first 5 minutes. Words cannot describe how shit this has been. Worst half under Howe in forever.

Such a weird player. Looks world class one week. Then pub league the next. Been the worst player on the pitch.

All from Bruno losing it yet again. Been the worst player on the pitch.

Murphy with his customary left foot swinger from miles out that is never going in

Paqueta looks crap most the time. Turns into Rivaldo against us. Wilson rolling back the years and suddenly seems to be able to move about the pitch.

Yep. Krafth and Burn as full backs and Pope in nets. No chance of playing round the press and seem incapable of playing over it. Not Woltemade’s game at all.

Been coming. Absolute shit. Pope has looked shaky from the start. Crap punch and then should be saving that

We are dreadful away from home.

Poor this. Pope looks shaky. Midfield all over the place. Bruno and Gordon miles off it. Yet again. We get a goal and seem to go extremely passive. Only 4-5 minutes. But we started really well.

Gordon has had loads of space first 15. Fucked the attack up almost every time. So infuriating to watch him.

How in the fuck has that taken so long. Needed all of about 30 seconds to get to the right decision FFS.

FFS, why? Seems like we always have to wear our away kit. Even when there is no clash.

The Thiaw song has already been ruined. Bella Ciao (Makina remix).

Just seen we are the only prem game on Boxing Day and it’s at 8pm. What a load of shite. Yet again, nobody gives a fuck about the fans. I’m sure transport will be easy…. Saturday 8pm seems to be becoming the norm and all. Second week in a row there has been no 12:30. But a 5:30 and an 8 game. I think we’ve had some later games on Sunday too in the last season or so.

Another thread topic. But when people talk about hardest footballers. Big Dunc must be up there. Absolute lunatic and a big bastad too.

Late to the party here. But fucking LOL

What bollocks the bloke is in his 30s. Has he just not been trying hard enough to improve up until this point? You reckon him and the coaches watch him spooning it about and think ‘nah. He doesn’t need to work harder and improve that. It’s fine.’
