This 16-year old spain have on the right is almost as good as Miley. Barca need some cash?

For completely useless information I have repeatedly hired this fella on FM for most of my life so he must be good.

Foden looks like a prime Wayne Routledge.

I'd say this is about the level of a Steve Bruce Newcastle. Schar and Lejeune on the bench as Hayden plays centre half. Willems in midfield.

The game is absolutely crying out for Gordon on the left as well.

Gallagher being the furthest forward midfielder reminds me of us playing Longstaff there. Except we don't have the luxury of having Bellingham, Foden and Cole Palmer in the squad.

I would love it if Manu got Southgate.

Aye I also got refunded last night. Had completely forgotten about this.

It's a big country. Expect some people flew in from different parts and booked accomodation and are taking that into account. Australian fans who wake up at 3 or 5 in the morning sometimes to watch the matches for years are fully right to feel disappointed at seeing the most senior player be Mark Gillespie when they go to watch a newcastle united showmatch.

Anyone else just paid? I've paid and they're still not letting me watch it. just getting redirected to pay again.

We should have had like 3 chances alone with the goalie if our midfielders knew how to pass a ball 5 yards, just knew at that point Manu were gonna get a shit goal. They are terrible but we aren't much better. And their frontline is capable of creating, especially with Fernandes. Won't enjoy having Rashford and Hojlund running at us for the last 20 counter attacking either. I would like Schar on if he can play as soon as possible, and Joelinton/Almiron just for the press. Classic pl ref though. How has Anderson gotten a yellow again for a nothing challenge as the opposition is scything Bruno down at every opportunity from behind? Dont get me started on the pen.

Would agree with scrapping it if I had an ounce of trust in referees. The amount of crap decisions against us are fewer I think than before var.

Wouldnt want any player with a slightly dodgy injury record recently. Has to be main priority for me that they have a long history of being fit. Especially if its a striker. I would like us to have 3 strikers though. Hilariously someone like Chris Wood (not saying we should sign him) who can be 3rd choice would be nice. Not really buying the argument of this and that player wouldnt come here to be 2nd choice either. Buy the best striker you can convince to come. Have him battle it out and play well to get in the team.

Aye wrong thread lol.

That happens on the other end the VAR check after the ref tells the wolves player to get back up takes 3 seconds.

Think i was raging the entire game despite comfortably winning. Without anything happening i think this is comfortably the worst refereeing performance I've seen this season. Different rules depending on which team you play for.

Predict with europe next season and a more tired squad Spurs will finish 8-10th.

Maddison wanker.

Clear push in the back and a free-kick for me. If its shoulder to shoulder its fine but it was from behind. Either way Madueke looks a classic chelsea buy. A bunch of children running to the ref after the whistle for a decision which even if you are a Chelsea fan wasn't that bad. Funny to see what character checks they have over there.

Really liking that Isak and Wilson are passing to eachother instead of just trying to smash it in on this scoreline. Woulda liked Anderson to have stayed on though, theres goals out there and he could really have used one.

Happy with that. Barnes/Wilson to give us something off the bench.

Feels so wrong to watch a match and wanting liverpool to win, oh well.

We havent been good. Most of our players bar Bruno has been pretty crap. He hasn't been great either seeing as he's eventually realised he has to do it himself if we are going to get forward and ends up trying too much, but i guess the alternative is to pass to Longstaff. Not too surprising though and people yelling "eddies's shit" etc seems a bit OTT. We are still starting so many average squad players with all the injuries. Burn, Murphy, Krafth, Longstaff are not great players, so we are relying on a few players to pull something out of the bag and it didnt happen for us tonight. Also that was a pen, and at 1-1 it could have gone anywhere. Commentators going on like Crystal Palace have been Barcelona dominating us is ridiculous, it was pretty even and a couple of bounces the right way we would have won it. Just find it a bit ridiculous the people shouting LONGSTAFF SHOULD NEVER START AGAIN. He's the 6th choice central midfielder, he's limited and short on confidence and i also think he is getting worse every game recently. But if we are playing 3 central midfielders do you bench him and start Joe White? He is what we've got and if Eddie Howe doesn't think he should be thrown to the wolves then he will start the next game which I'd expect him to.

Feel like its quite even. They have most of the posession but we have definitely had the 2 best chances. Shame Barnes couldn't feed Gordon in the start there. Would be nice if some more of our purples were out there. Starting to show the amount of players we have on the pitch now who go into sideways and backwards mode. Feels like Bruno has to feed our front three all by himself. Guessing we will see Hall/Livramento at some stage. A little shout for the ref who hasn't done much wrong so far as well.
