After one game? Just feel we need more pace out wide. Atsu's pace was our biggest threat today, and we lacked it down the right

Hate to suggest it because I really like him but I feel Ritchie might need to be dropped.

Has it ever really been suggested he and Shelvey are particularly mates though?

This forum's irrational dislike of him?

Thoughts on him then? I thought that despite clearly not being 100% yet the movement was still good and he could have had a penalty if He'd ran a split second later. Think just like last season the more he plays the better he'll get.

There's still another 2 in front of Colback. Heck after his training ground shite Saivet's probably in front of him too. Colback's finished, today doesn't change that.

A bit kneejerk to suggest we've already lost the next two like.

Gallows would be so proud of how far he's come.

Sore ones can often heal faster though, we'll know more this week. From a rational point of view, the fact he walked off and wasn't carried off is good for an impact injury.

That's only for bans in the same season. Cisse got that 7 game ban for spitting instead of 6 because he'd already been banned for Violent Conduct earlier in the season. Lovely guy though.

Rafa usually got a good response to defeats last year.

I suspect you might just be high on emotion right now but I thought Gayle still did well with his movement and would have had a penalty if he'd held his run a split second longer. Clearly wasn't 100% and those minutes will do him the world of good.

Howay man. Don't talk wet.

Could be anything, but this is us. He's guaranteed to miss the whole season.

His ban for kicking El-Abd was stupid.

Anyone wanting him to never play again might be going a bit far like. He's hardly the first to do this. People accepted Barton and Cabaye after worse.

Well that's shite.

Was a shame he had to go off because the way he'd just rinsed Kane before that mong halved him was great.

I think we sat too deep in the first half. Thought Gayle still made good runs despite clearly needing the minutes. Ritchie's not at it though.

For some reason its reminded me of the time Cabaye booted that brighton defender in the face in the FA Cup and got himself a 3 match ban. Was livid with that at the time.

If Wilshere really is getting better with his injuries, I'd give him a go. Probably would want a loan with it being permanent based on an certain number of games being played, to make sure he's over it.

Jesus, did you miss the draft or something? Both were my last picks for their positions - both are cheap and I expect you to do reasonably well... Barcelona has destroyed your expectations. You have a winnable set of starting fixtures - which I was betting on - that both players will now miss. Eh. You might get some Salvage out of Lejeune. Might end up not being too bad of an injury.

Kane's just "Not that sort of player"

Why us man? What did we do to deserve this curse?
