Craig

Whole team looks completely fed up, there's no effort nothing, something's proper wrong with this squad at the moment.

Just can't defend, we use to be hard to score against now it's so easy

He's missing the aggression and determination to win his duels for me, thinks he's better with his feet than he is so doesn't have to put himself about.

Worst I've seen under Howe, thought getting spanked like this was a thing of the past.

#1 Keegan #2 Howe #3 Sir Bobby Howe moves to top spot when he gets us involved in a title challenge.

Doesn't help his overall game that refs have decided he's impossible to foul giving defenders the license to manhandle him.

I mean where is he supposed to put his arms if he's been bundled over. But remember it's ok to have your arms outstretched if you're tussling with a player if you play for Man U.

Miley looks a bit special

Thing that frustrates me the most is he doesn't seem to have the intelligence to know when to take a risk and when not to so constantly seems to give the ball away in dangerous positions where the defenders behind him have already gone forward. The shrugging or the diving as part of losing the ball doesn't help either.

For me it's not the VAR decision that was the problem yesterday, we were so dominant and then for some reason the referee decided to suddenly give everything to them, it felt unbelievable fixed, commentators were saying how do Chelsea get back into this game as we were outplaying them completely, then suddenly every time there was any contact they got a freekick while the referee waved away everything that should have gone our way. If the challenge on Palmer was a freekick we should have had at least 3 penalties, no wonder Barnes was throwing himself to the ground so much, the referee had been given free kicks to Chelsea all game for similar. I'm at the point where there is little doubt in my mind referees are deciding to influence games, who knows why and for what reason but no one can convince me otherwise. If Chelsea had done something to get back into that game, then oh well that's football, but they didn't, they were handed it. I'm done with it, this and the number of games being played is too much for me. I'm taking a break from football, who knows if I'll be assed to watch a game again. Who would have thought it I'ld make it through the Mike Ashley era for this to break me. Controversy and constant noise gets views and clicks, but not mine anymore.

Makes u want to give up football, no one can convince me that wasn't about influencing a result.

Corrupt as hell, destroying them and the ref decides to give them absolutely everything.

Officials have completely reversed the momentum in this game disgusting

This ref

Don't think Eddie Howe can manage a team that plays so much football, he seems to need more time on the training ground than he can get.

Needs to start booking players for kicking the ball away.

Hate Gordon at times, his lack of effort seems to filter down to the rest of the team

Clear pen but they love throwing themselves to the ground

Worst performance so far this season. Like Eddie has told the team to play at 50%

Joelinton doesn't look fit making us look light in midfield

This ref giving them everything

Anyone have any idea what the actual rules for a handball are? All I hear is if it deflects of a leg and then hits the arm it doesn't count that just doesn't make sense, might as well swing an arm at the ball once you've blocked it. All I can find is a change in 2024/2025 https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4079558 A very clear deflection that results in a significant change in the trajectory of the ball should carry greater weight than arm position when considering a handball offence. However, touching another body part before contact with the arm does not automatically mean a handball cannot be penalised.

From my point of view the hardest part of the Isak saga wasn't losing a top player but having to sit here reading all the Liverpool pumped out narrative and it's felt like there was no fight back from our side, felt like no one was on our side as the fans, not even the owners. We've been made to feel put in our place, all along I hoped we would hold out for a massive fee and make Liverpool overpay just like we did with Wissa so we could feel we stood up to it, but we didn't. Wish there had been a defiant message given out from the owners, a modern Keegan on the steps type message.

Did any Brentford players wish him all the best for his move?

I mean if you were going to put money on another player doing what Isak has done it's pretty obvious who it would be, he needs to stop reading his self-help books, believing his own hype and start producing on the pitch. Wonder whether we are starting to see the generation of footballers that have grown up with the constant media narrative that the only clubs that matter are the sly six.
