Also wtf is with this and a few others using "made 100% of successfull tackles" I mean 100% of my successfull tackles are successful, unfortnately i have made 0 of them.

So I, a glutton for punishment, put on the guardian's football weekly podcast on this for my drive home for work with Phillippe Auclaire. Now i have a lot more sympathy for their pov on our 'glorious' ownership than a lot on here (but am not going to have the joy of watching us taken away just yet even if I have issues), but anyway on comes Auclaire and i'm bracing for lots of vitriol at the fans for being at fault for diminishing the apparently otherwise saintly world of football, and then what actually infuriates me, when talking about surprising performances from players of ours who are playing above themselves he mentions he was shocked to see Schar play well implying he has largely seen Schar as a comical bad defender. How many fucking years does this guy have to be an absolute rock before any single fucking pundit recognizes him? If we were a Manchester club or Liverpool he would be being fucking touted for the ballon d'or by now

He's won a champions league as manager, and I know Roberto Di Matteo has too but he is better than that. He maybe had a very beneficial setup at Barca, and wouldn't shock me if he could never quite replicate that he's no mug, but was strange. PSG are a clownshow who churn through good managers

yep the 4-2-4 seemed what you'd do against a team you expect to roll over, and I would think that would be a bit presumptuous against most teams that have qualified for the champions league tbh. Would expect that naivite more from a new coach like Howe than someone with his experience...

Tripps got Mbappe's shirt for his kid hah

What a night for the lad

that erectile dysfunction ad a bit unnecessary tonight TNT

Pope 10 Burn 10 Schar 10 Lascelles 10 Trippier 10 Longstaff 10 Bruno 10 Tonali 10 Miggy 10 Isak 10 (ok this one maybe bit of a stretch) Gordon 10 (edit: lol beaten to it)

One of the best halfs of football i have seen as a toon fan

ffs yellow for bruno for nothing

pretty hard to lose this with a clean sheet yes lol

Backup for miggy?

are they man u in disguise?

Not allowed to tackle these cunts at all like

So close Schar!

Miggy come on

WTF REF NOTHING IN THAT

They are very composed passing, they are shock, very good. Got to take advantage of any chances we do get

ooof close for them

If they take that sodding eyesore of a building back to Paris with them they can have Haymarket

Love if they replayed it and half the team got season ending injuries in it. Well that sounds harsh, but absolutely ludicrous, no chance it'll be replayed, imagine if it did and then they had to replay every game where a ref made an error from then on, the 23/24 season would go on for years!

Eeer isn't a 'Human Drone' just a helicopter in this case? The only reason they're called Drones is they're unmanned!

Incidentally I crashed my car on Redheugh bridge after we lost to West Ham a few years ago. Fortunately at very low speed but was my own stupid fault. Try and avoid it now if I can because of it...

I am half worried about Lascelles starting but also a bit of me feels really pleased for him, considering his time with us through relegation, through being captain under the moderate times under Rafa, then through the absolute turboshit era that he gets to lead us out against PSG in the champions league. Botman will get to do this again for us plenty of times but I reckon Lascelles probably assumed he would see out his career with us for a while battling relegation year on year then get sold to a championship club one day.
