Joelinton MOTM?

I'm gonna give Schar th benefit of the doubt there with fatigue but come on.

FFS. My stream is behind this.

At least hopefully today Howe has learned who his defenders are and that Clark, Lascelles, and Ritchie have all got themselves suspended out of the team.

These lot really are shit.

That on the other hand is a stonewaller.

That's never a penalty. He launched himself into the defender.

We've still got a 27% chance of winning at least.

That was embarrassing from shelvey.

Put Dummet in the team (assuming match fitness which obvs isn't a given) and I think he's quite low on our list of problems for the time being whilst being a clear upgrade on whatever else is going on.

Response seemed fine. What do you expect him to say? "The squad is shit, and the Bruce effect can't be underestimated. We will do the best we can with them before the transfer window." ?

Was thinking this myself. He fit?

Ah, no

Don't know what you lot are on about. Topic says 0-0 so I'm going with that.

Fuck me, he made 41 appearances for us in his latest stint!?

I wasn't a fan of the way 5 live worded this. "Breaking news. There were due to be 3 new managers starting tomorrow but that is no longer the case. Eddie Howe... Has tested positive for covid 19". Fucks sake. Don't do that to me.

David Moyes at West Ham at the moment?

1,000 games under his belt. Must be good.

I mean I'll believe it when I see it but fuck off timing this so shortly after Rafa takes another job.

Fuck me that defending. Don't even want to be there.

Surprised Sky let Neville and Carragher on really. Not on script at all.

He has one: Charnley. "Give Rafa what be needs and let him run my football club. Don't ever talk to me again." Literally all he needed to do.

This. His whole leg is over the line.

Didn't they spend most of their promotion season and most of PL season with half their first choice defenders injured too?

I can't help but feel that as far as the football side of things are concerned that he's done ok but no more than that. As you say the draws for both the WC and Euros were very favourable to us. In the WC especially given the draw the semi final is the very least we would have been expected to reach. That was probably as perfect a draw as you could ask for.
