I don't really see any point in delaying the Barnes for Murphy sub

lad that's 8 days

Willock being injured would be the only reasonable excuse for his performance so far, like.

Think Willock needs to come off sooner rather than later. So lethargic.

Fantastic from Longstaff there

Not sure what Bruno's doing today. Nowhere near defensively and has managed 6 touches

eeesh, Fabian what are you doing there, man

this is just full on cheating and I love it

oof, Eddie is not happy

tactical injury. Neither of the other keepers even getting warmed up haha.

Murph over Barnes looks like a mistake so far but honestly the whole midfield doesn't exist. Every defender is being overloaded.

Trips fuming

Missing energy in midfield here big time

Murph's head's not screwed on today. Panicking anytime he's anywhere near the ball.

ah, what a guy. Those quotes are the antidote to last night’s disappointment.

I would like to see Willock play in Longstaff’s role. Not just as a right sided player but actually in Longstaff’s deeper/more defensive role. He’s never going to be as defensively aware as Longstaff but I think in terms of receiving the ball deep, offering a legitimate passing option under pressure and being able to progress it either by passing or carrying is something worth trying.

for someone who's not supposed to be involved in general play much I thought he was last night tbh. Most touches in opponent area, second most touches in the attacking third, most progressive passes received, most progressive carries, most carries into the penalty area, most carries into the final third, most key passes and most ball recoveries (loose balls recovered). Replaced Gordon very well imo. Did enough for me to think we should definitely be trying him on the left with Gordon on the right against Full Ham on Saturday.

oof fuck no, nothing this season is anywhere near that. Was on my birthday too . Closest I've come to throwing something through the tv.

Really hope he improves his shooting. Gets plenty of good chances to score from around the box... 3 goals a season doesn't really cut it for someone of his ability.

it's how I saw it at the time tbf. A 1 in 25 chance of scoring sounds right for an edge of the area shot with 4 defenders (iirc) and a keeper to get through. Sorry, I'm gonna stop now

He was shouting and pointing at Bruno for him to press his man inside the opening 10 minutes of the game . I think he has the right mentality, for sure.

thought he was fine and I think people should probably remember he was out injured for well over a year and had only played 140 minutes in the premier league this season before tonight. He's gonna have to play most of the rest of the season now so get used to it

sorry nees

I guess any shot is a chance against Dubs tbf, so I'll concede I'm wrong.

Tarkowski's header after 8 minutes (0.25xg) and Docoure after 43 minutes (0.12xg) were their only shots to register over 0.07xg in the game other than the penalty. The Garner shot which hit the post was a 0.04xg effort generated from very little tbh.
