Yeah I would have had here in an instant. I think he’s proving to be really good value right now

I’d rather we beat Bournemouth away anyways - I want to win the league

That was a clear foul mate, just don’t get penalties for that

Big learning experience against this side in both games. We dominated the game in large spells, but they have just got that European knowledge of how to manage a game

What a poor free kick

I actually thought Adeyemi was class the odd time I’ve seen him, but he’s just pace and nothing else

Love the tactical time out there from Pope

I’d bring on Lewis Hall right now and play a 4-6-0 formation

Someone said on here the other day that this would happen to Murphy’s shoulder. He’ll try and avoid surgery and then it will just pop out again

I really think he needs to start this game or Dortmund. My preference would be Dortmund because they seemed to work out our right side in the first game. Tino changes things up a bit and also stops the breaks on the right to some extent

I just love Joe Willock

Loved how Tino was so happy for Lewis and was straightaway celebrating with him

I think we made the right signings with the financial manoeuvring we had to do. Tonali’s issues came out of the blue and Barnes getting a freak injury so early is very frustrating. I’m not fussed about a champions league finish this year. Obviously I want to be in the competition next season and it helps financially, but we need to be in Europe again to build up the coefficient. We can’t keep being lumbered with the group we got this time. If we had one ‘winnable’ team in out group now, we’d get through no doubt and then who knows how far we could go

Definitely gets rested on Wednesday and I’m happy that’s the case because we need him for the big games coming up - he’s a colossus and vital to the team

Yes!!!

Nerves of steal needed here from Callum - come on lad!

Not a penalty, but is it an obvious error when there’s a million replays?

Yeah Trippier been so bad both defensively and offensive, very much unlike what we’re used to seeing

I’m just trying to defend the indefensible I guess. My frustration is just coming out here given that we’ve lost three important players last night for a lengthy time in a game we also didn’t deserve to lose

I accept the point. Do we actually know if he bet on games with his involvement though? A 10 game ban would seem more than enough to me for a first offence

Best we could have hoped for but I’m just gutted for him. I’d much prefer in these situations that there’s a hefty fine and then the player has to do all the rehabilitation and community service work. I don’t see why a ban from playing should be a punishment

We didn’t deserve to lose that at all, but that’s what happens when you play quality opponents. Callum puts in that chance in the six yard box and we could be talking about another win tonight

That’s because we are mate

Well worth that lead at half time - fantastic performance all round

I’d rest him because I’d want him playing the next four games coming in quick succession and that’s such a big workload. Although we’ll probably need him in the second half if he doesn’t start and he’s got the possibility of a suspension coming anyways
