If we get a pen let pope take it for shits and giggles

Bruno!

Get in Miggy!

That was embarrassing from Gordon like

There are an absolute rabble premier league should sue them for damaging the quality of the league. I have huge sympathy for Luton considering there resources, these fuckers have been in the league before and stayed up recently

You'd say they're a championship team but you'd expect a championship team to at least defend well from crosses

I was really gutted by liverpool for teh record but i do have a little fear creeping in. I don;t like the ownership, well on record, have been trying to just enjoy but a little bit of me does really worry that the most fun we will ever have was last season, bit of an underdog feel still, likeable players, lots of goals punching above our weight. I kinda dread us becoming a super slick mega club and all teh players being mainly interested in their instagram followers and own 'brand' and then us all raging about losing the odd game and finishing second. I still just want to enjoy not having to worry about relegation and giving games a good go, i don;t want to be that furious fan of a top 4 club that is really angry that they only reached 1 final or something...and that;s before the concerns about an ownership that wants to execute me if i lived in their country, i do worry that last season was maybe the best it will be and by the time we win the league i will be numb to it...

Well done, timely reminder of how far short we still are. Some really frustrated at some of our play but overall good point, but also a reminder we will really struggle to get out of the group, but that is to be expected.

Finding we are sooo impatient in attack we try something overambitious that immediatelyh gives them back the ball, rather than letting more players join attack and trying ot draw a mistake

they are so good on the break. We need to keep the ball for longer when we get the ball, and not just zoom up and give it back to them quickly.draw them out a bit.

ffs longstaff just wanting to fall over there

lads it turns out last season's semi finalists ac milan might be quite good. Yes we are struggling but this wasn't going to be a walkover lol

yeah just too impatient when we have the ball and a bit lost without it, if they beat the first line of press they have free run at the defense.

just passing through our midfield too easily

Pope's keeping us in this

ooof they are cutting us apart at the moment. we are going to concede imminently if we don't sort this out

well done pope lucky not to be punished

my everton mate was openly wishing for the club to fold at weekend just to have it over with. Doesn't help that Everton is actually his second team and his main one is Morecambe that lurch from one financial disaster to the next and are forever on verge of dropping out the football league

Attack isn't functioning quite yet but there are good elements. Still confident it will click.

That'll do, wins a win and all that

Easy

Honestly think Moyes would have been good for him but yes. Potter would be rubbish imo, you dont have time as an international manager to institute how Brighton play, and you can't really afford to tinker endlessly with players which is what he got stuck doing at chelsea.

Yeah I think Southgate has run his course, starting to make some baffling decisions more out of stubboness than anything else. He likes Maguire because none of the other defenders are a physical unit to threaten at set pieces and in defense but at a point he's not good enough so you have to adapt. Maguire deserves space to rebuild his confidence out of the limelight, he was mad not to go to west ham and if it costs him ever getting a good premier league move and ending up like phil jones then that's to be honest entirely on him now. I still think Southgate has transformed England hugely and deserves to leave on his own terms, he deserves not to be hounded out if he really wants to have one last go at the Euros, but hope he can be talked out of it. Equally if there was an option he could be kept around for the vibes, he clearly is well respected by the players. He really could do with a proper modern thinker doing the tactics though. I fucking hate his persistence with a double fucking pivot. (i hate it not cos of terminology I just think it's negative and outdated now)

Divide and rule populism in government and press since brexit has done a lot of damage
