Isak just dominant.

Do you think we could keep a clean sheet with just Botman on the pitch? I'd put a bit of cash on it.

I forgot that we don't have a kit that doesn't clash with a blue and white opponent. Such a farce.

Gonna be "illness" if the rumors of the bust-up are true.

Plus it sounds like he's gone and broke the no dickheads rule.

I think he has to try really, really hard to play the correct way. And even then, he breaks down in phases, losing concentration and positional discipline. Think I'm revelling a bit in this, which will piss people off. I've said for a long time that we could be a better side without him. Obviously, it has taken a Howe revelation and £200m worth of players, but I think we are definitely at the point where him not being available is not an issue. Under Bruce, yeah, we needed his bit of magic. And yes, he absolutely has the ability to take teams apart - like the Man City game - but he is nowhere near consistent enough.

Isak hatty ofc.

Really looking forward to this. A few fresh faces. Low stakes. Should just be a bit of fun.

Wouldn't be surprised if ASM has thrown his toys out. He's completely disposable now.

floored

Do we still have that rapid lb in the u23s? He could do a job.

God, the bitterness on twitter is magical. Hook it to my veins.

So 5 or 6 minutes added time takes it to the average.

Two games without a win or goal as well. Things are proper worrying.

Dunno if I can split them. Both have been outrageous.

Nick Pope.

He's definitely put a bit on

Volvo V40 CROSSCOUNTRY of a man.

Arteta is in pieces. Bless.

Mega result. Eddie Howe performing miracles.

Murphy, man.

ASM isn't gonna be trusted to defend.

There is one that shows he is tripped. It isn't the arm/body contact to look for.

That was a bit of a shitty insult. Think, not you necessarily, there can be a general trend where people put players in categories of good or shit and then use that to heavily weight what they think can or can't be said about a player. So I think it is fair for people to say Trippier was shit - cos they're basing it on a certain series of things he did badly in the game- but also for some to say, "hang on, he also did some solid stuff." It's actually been a solid, non-rawk, discussion overall and we've sort of landed in the same region.

Bit of an overreaction here. Think criticism of some of his game yesterday is valid. That's the crux of it. You don't need to have some rawkish narrative control. Like, I get that he is a really good player and by default did a lot of good work yesterday. But he also served up some notable shit. I do like the weather excuse. Think that's valid. Their tiny winger being given yellow card immunity also didn't help.
