Schoolboy stuff there.

Get Trips practicing crosses. It's like he's forgotten that was one of his main strengths.

What the fuck was that Dan Burn. Jesus.

Don't think anyone has been enjoying this

Isak looks like he'd rather be anywhere but on the pitch.

Oh dear. Joelinton-esque finish there.

Wilson has a hamstring issue but nothing too serious, see you in May then Callum.

Think it's harsh for anyone to have a go at Maxi whilst Burn is playing behind him. He gets no help from him in attacking terms.

There's no way we can be as bad in the second half. Please tell me we can't be as bad as that in the second half?

Quite undeserved but you take them all day!

Was just about to post this. It's not by design so can only assume they are all just running around like headless chickens. Idiots.

Are we allowed to mention that we have been pretty shit so far yet? We don't really look able to break down a defence without Bruno on the pitch. There is nobody in midfield comfortable linking the play.

If that was Isak rather than Wilson the defender isn't catching up...or was that what was said last week?

The main part of his game that he needs to improve on from all accounts seems to be his end product. He looked fast, sharp, confident and lively, as well as a good passer of the ball in his brief cameo which was great to see. He also should have had an assist so that's a good sign. It may all just click into place immediately in this team with our players around him. However he's still so young that a bit of patience may be required for his end product to become more consistent.

Nope.

Man City seem to love letting us down. At this rate I'll end up disliking Pep

With the signings we made, or didn't make, in January, top 4 has to be looked on as a bonus rather than a likelihood. The main benefit of really going for it and strengthening last month is the likelihood that Liverpool and Chelsea surely can't be so inconsistent next season, so top 4 may be all the more difficult even with a much stronger squad. We will also likely be playing in Europe so will need more options just to stand still. We have to avoid injuries and suspensions from now until the end of the season though and anything is possible still.

I miss Bruno so much already. As do we as a team.

Swear there's only ever as little as 3 minutes added when we look the better team and are going for a goal.

Somehow our passing just gets worse and worse. That's quite the achievement.

Taking it in turns to see who can do the shittest pass now

They've gained confidence since the break and are looking to press high and attack us, after realising we aren't really offering much of a threat. Our passing is poor, and on top of that we don't have many options for the man on the ball either. Time for a change, lets see what Gordon can offer.

Yep. Bruno's passing is world class, whereas our other midfielders' passing ability are all below average. Something we can't do anything about until the summer, but it absolutely does need addressing.

Yeah it's gonna take more than a football to concuss Botman like.
