In fairness to Tuchel there has been a fairly substantial distraction which may well have affected his players quite a bit

Genuinely my biggest problem with this a sad day

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/27/divisive-champions-league-reform-proposals-back-on-the-table Sigh, this is going to keep coming up till they get their closed shop isn't it? What gets me is they keep complaining about the massive cost of trying to compete for the champions league and then huge financial losses if fail to, and yet financial fair play is made toothless which would combat that significantly. I propose that if they so want everyone and anyone to be able to qualify for champions league fine, but get rid of the group stages, massive knockout tournament the whole way.

It is still sad he is the only one of our footballers I have ever had a close encounter with XD (physical proximity decided not to say hello lol)

I actually think it's perfectly reasonable to not want to worry at all about ownership, who owns us not the decision of any of us fans (tragically) and not our responsibility. I am a lot more concerned about it but I dont want anyone to think I am trying to make anyone feel bad for just enjoying the football, and I think some of the coverage has been condescending and hectoring of normal fans who just want to watch their football team. I do think though fans shouldn't be critican of other fans who do have concerns of the ownership, and I do think unnecessarily cheerleading or defending saudi arabia is kinda tragic.

Dont give a shit how many lawyers say they are seperate it's obviously the state investment arm and its run by the dude in charge. It is obvious and self evident.

I also know people who happily go in and out of prison (come into contact with them in my job) but I'd really struggle to call their lives enviable in any way lol inside or out (reoffending rates may go a bit down if they werent dumped back out into the same situation etc etc etc)

My old boss used to work as a prison officer, he said on his second day in a youth prison a heroin addict came in begging for a razor blade to kill himself, so his supervisor gave him one.

You guys realise he was in a midfield 2 with Sean Longstaff against a midfield feating Jorginho who was number 3 in last years Ballon d'or and Kante? I thought he looked absolutely fine considering lol Look forward to him alongside Joelinton

We don't need to look down I don't think anymore, no way all those clubs climb above us man

Positives Despite the goal being arguably partially his fault (it was just a really good goal tho) Dan Burn is immense We are playing very hard to beat even without Joelinton Think Bruno was really good

Pen was utter stone wall. Just baffling.

Real shocker.

Absolute daylight robbery. Pathetic reffing Still. Very good performance. Glad we are pretty much safe cos if we were still around the relegation zone that would really fucking hurt

Gayle hahaha

Shouldn't be on the pitch.

Of course. FFS

Nearly Schar!

Lucky

Rudiger is an absolute bastard of a defender, why he's been so good

ASM on

I was totally ok with us losing this match reckoning probably a bridge too far, now i really fucking want us to win

Man if Shelvey was in this match he would hve got himself sent off for assaulting someone by now

Of course VAR checks that obvious offside

Jesus what is VAR fucking for then? Just being really pedantic with offsides?
