Dandy Man

League of Ireland decider tonight, Damien Duff's Shelbourne favs to win the league as it stands EDIT: Just read the above - wasn't expecting the LoI chat lol, bit more trivia then - former Liverpool and England U21 defender Andre Wisdom be starting for Derry City against Duff's Shels

Much more like the man I want to love last night, oozes class when he's playing like that

We've been a bit better than at Stamford Bridge which is good but Chelsea have been a lot worse and we still look one step away from a crisis at the back, they've also gifted us both our goals

Bruno and Sandro situation a bit like the old Demba and Papiss conundrum but in midfield instead of up front?

No prob with the idea that Longstaff improves us in intangible ways, but surely there's someone out there who can do his hard yards and also have a bit more general quality too

Apparently

As long as we don't get Darren Ambrose on comms again I'll take it tbh

Always remembered Ambrose fairly fondly for scoring a few screamers when he played for us, he's pissing all over that with his monologues here though

Apart from swingin' Todd B, I can't truly hate Chelsea until they're consistently good and Maresca has accumulated enough bad will in the bank, probably not far off sadly

10/10 would Vakhtang

Was probably first time that I really doubted Howe a bit today, too many obvious issues that aren't being rectified. Still think anyone calling for sack is on the crazy side, barring an absolute capitulation he deserves until the end of the season at the very least

Still think a player of his quality and skill set should be able to adapt to a different role and make more of an impact than he has thus far. Too early to make much judgement either way really, just bit underwhelmed, appreciate it's difficult for anyone to look great in this team currently

Tonali is a bit of an enigma for me, want to love him and he seems capable of doing it all but still feels like he might be causing more problems than he's solving

Hard to know round here tbf

Clocks have gone back tbf

Meh. When Chelsea are good they're very good but they're still very shaky. We just look shaky

Should be a yellow for simulation in a sensible world

All upset we sold Minteh

Saved us the pain on a dodgy VAR decision

I don't want him on either but if Longstaff has contributed what Tonali has he'd be getting pelters tbf

Murphy and Longy coming on to boost morale on here

I get Barnes specialty is sticking it in the corner after cutting inside but he has to play in big Joe there (unless he actually does stick it in corner)

Think we can definitely create a chance or two but also think we can definitely concede a few more too

"right lads, let's go out in the second half, take it easy, give them all the space they need in the middle and let's play like we've never met each other before"

He's an easy scapegoat but Burn really needs hooking here
