Shadow Puppets

Very poor half. Midfield has been non existent, weirdly, considering it’s arguably our strongest 3. Gordon’s been poor. Murphy ok (one great cross). Everyone else just not reacting anywhere near fast enough.

We need Man Utd to beat Spurs mind

I love big Jo and Willock but I do understand people’s frustrations with Willock from time to time. For me he’s so close to being an excellent player, but I find myself, at least 2 or 3 times per game getting wound up because he appears to be needing an extra touch on the ball, or doesn’t react to a situation fast enough. Also needs to seriously work on his finishing to be a true top player. Big Jo is the more enjoyable player to watch IMO. But I do love them both.

I maintain… and I’ve messed with the predictors 5 or 6 times now… that if we draw with spurs and win 3 more games no one will catch us. Pretty much all scenarios I’ve worked, and I’ve tried to be really downbeat on our results, still lead to us finishing 4th on between 68 and 72 points.

Kind of hope Man Utd get moving again. If we avoid defeat to Spurs and Man Utd can beat them away, then we are almost a shoe-in for top 4. Done 3 predictors and we can get away with only winning 3 more games.

I have us finishing 4th on 69 points, 5 points ahead of Spurs. That includes us only winning against Brighton (h), Leicester (h), Southampton (h)… draws with Spurs (h), Villa (a), Everton (a), Leeds (a), and losses to Arsenal (h) and Chelsea (a). Also includes Man Utd beating Spurs away though.

I’m currently at a 9. Win 4 more games, with one of them being the Spurs game, and I think that we’ll do it. Seems very doable providing we don’t get any big injuries / red cards / suspensions to key players.

No, no it’s not. Else players would be screaming physical abuse 20 times every game. It’s stupid what he did because everyone knows you can’t touch the ref, but no it’s not “abuse”.

It wasn’t really physical abuse though was it. A tiny pull/shove.

I agree but sadly I think it would possibly have been chalked off for offside in the build up. Centimetres off I think.

He might have just had a falling out with his best mate ?‍♂️

Weird game that… don’t think we played that well at all, but were so so clinical. Interesting to see how we do at Brentford now.

Those last 20 mins were really impressive from Everton ? Spurs shite!

Class… wasn’t that on the edge of our area too? ?

What a fucking performance that was! Every man outstanding!

I don’t even understand what the picture is supposed to show / what incident they’re referring to.

Bruno Fernandes well and truly shown up for the prick he is today…

Errr, Isak has been available for selection for 9 games since he returned from injury. He started 3 of them. It’s not like he’s been banished… just working his way in.

Shame that… overall we didn’t perform badly really… it’s the missed chances that are a real worry. We were looking decent until Trips gave the ball away for the second goal. Fancied us to get back into it before that. Nevermind…anything here would have been a bonus.

The only issue I have with the lineup is I'd prefer to see Isak start. The rest is fine.

I couldn’t give two fucks about Man Utd fans. Every club has a high percentage of absolute whoppers. We certainly do, as evidenced at Wembley.

? I can only go off my own experience, in Block 133 towards the front, and it was really good where we were. I think it's all location dependent.

I just think you're being completely unrealistic man. Man Utd fans had a wave of support after they scored their second, and another for the last 10 mins of the game. Other than that, they weren't involved. We were incredible until the second goal, and then most of the second half was pretty loud too... not 100% of the time, but in large patches. It's just completely unrealistic to think that fans will be singing for 90 mins... it doesn't happen anywhere in the country. Some fans won't want to sing at all, and that's also fine, and doesn't make them any less of a fan than the radgies who scream obscenities for 90 mins. There's more than one way to show support. In my experience, a lot of times the more vocal fans are also the ones to piss and moan when things aren't going to plan. The quieter fans are generally supportive all the way through the game, but quieter. Really think it's a weird thing to criticise us for on Sunday. It was largely incredible, as most neutrals will testify.

Anyone but Miggy? Anyone but our most hard working top scorer?

We have a tonne of brain dead angry twats in our fanbase… that’s basically it.
