Didn't really get going, but still won. Need to improve against better teams and we still need a good few upgrades if we want to full control games against dross like this.

Get longstaff and Murphy off,  put shelvey and Anderson on, drop three into the middle and Anderson behind wilson, need to get the midfield under control 

I know Joe was on a yellow but they seem to be getting a lot more space in the middle 

T rex kicking off at half time, gimpy twat

Horrible cunts, the yellow cards are going to build up and fuck us over at some point all because fat frank can't coach a team to play football and just roll around 

A lot better, and the crowd have woken up

Miggy!!!!, still shit at creating chances though ?

A bit of a borefest this, we are too weak out wide against their defence

I just felt he could have tried something different. Put Almiron on the left and Fraser on the right to try and stretch it a bit.

 

Just felt like 96 mins of the same stuff

Possibly because we have zero options and Eddie knows that, as we get better players I am confident we will see more in game management and adapting to the opposition, but hand on heat I don't think any of our bench or some of the players who started are up to changing the formation mid game.

We aren't going to become champions league contenders in a season and the takeover happened less than a year ago.

Yes I am frustrated that we keep drawing games, yes maybe my expectations have been raised a bit higher than they should be, yes I still think we will finish in the top eight.

This is just a long bump in the road that I am sure we will overcome,  there is some talent in the squad but there is also some dross, 'boro from the ravinelli years springs to mind, we are light years away from Bruce's side but we still have a long way to go, January will see more investment and I am sure we will improve year on year, when was the last time we could say that?.

Games like this when you realise that despite all the improvements etc half the squad is still shite 

Happy enough with this, if the guy can sort his confidence and head out he could be a good asset and push Pope which will keep him sharp. My concern is that all that stuff with Liverpool was a few years ago and he does seem to have struggled since, are the mental scars too deep?.

I hope not as we could have picked up a good player for nowt, and if he does get his form back and Eddie sorts him out then you would expect him to become quite loyal to the club and be a good long term player for us.

I would laugh my cock off if he dropped that fullback they paid millions for

Actual window 8.5/10

Newly minted self entitled, delusion fantasy fan window, 6/10 

Gutted at the end but on the plus side we have had some hard games in the first 5, September fixtures look a lot better and we have a good base to build on and a good team ethic. I can see us going on a run of wins and moving back up the table.

That Haaland is shite mind, only 7 goals now

Triple captained him tonight, I hope he hits another hat trick!

I think he has started to come round to Eddie's way of thinking, team before individual, and he is starting to look better for it. He was given too much leeway under Bruce and it has taken him a while to adjust to not been the loose cannon, match winning main man. 

I think if he continues this could be a really good season for him and if he keeps it up he could be an outside bet for a world Cup place.

Deserved equaliser, not a great game and once again highlights our lack of squad depth but don't think we deserve to loose this

Frustrating game, the whole team is playing at about 6/10 and mainly controlling the game, but they are missing the obvious quality of the lads not in the team to take advantage of it.

Who else can he play today ?

That's the problem at the moment no other option, it won't always be like that, just impatient for the upgrades

Longstaff is donky bollocks, not sure what Eddie sees in him, passes are rubbish, doesn't take any ownership on the pitch.

Pedro, a young CM and an out of the blue back up keeper from Germany ?
