He's dangerous when running at pace but fuck me this guy's technique is O'Nien levels.

Ramsay but all 3 have been fair decent and Nick has the assist. Talbi/Rigg in space is the problem and Brobbey is a unit. General poor to average quality game but we're up and have to solidify that, the right subs can do it for us.

Big yikes.

I'd guess his selection is twofold, Tino probably isn't ready and looked at max rust level against Barca as well as Trippier's balls releasing Elanga are probably one of the few weapons we might have to bypass their defence effectively...saying that we're getting low blocked to fuck here so hope others have their creative boots on...

Fucking win.

Maybe he just hates Scotland and/or ICE. Top lad either way.

That ship sailed when PIF bought us tbf. Got a cup win out of it at least. Agree to the broader point of not just buying the league and the triumph of properly building something over the past 4 years. Shame Yasir, this new CEO and Staveley set expectations that were always unlikely given restrictions and owner pragmatism. Enjoy the ride, but I'm under no illusion we're owned by scum, overpromising scum.

Probably be the size of one at the rate he's packing away those pasties. Fat cunt.

I can find 1 with 4 in matchday squad; https://www.englandstats.com/matches.php?mid=717 Copilot suggests Rob Lee and Batty were in 22 player full squad list. Have to imagine we had a few more instances like this in that 95-97 period.

Players should be embarrassed and/or annoyed at their performance second half, loser mentality to find that amount of self-harm and mental lapses acceptable, whether there's some mitigating factors or not. I'm sure Eddie and the gang know this and are dealing with it accordingly though.

I agree and hope for the same but we absolutely could shit the bed and lose, got about 7 months evidence of that given our season so far.

There's plenty of reasons. They have to Partridge bounce back from that howking last night against a feisty blood and thunder low block, recipe for disaster unless we're mentally on it.

Aye that's what I said after the part you quoted tbf I think Tino/Tonali combo is what we're facing. The agedness of our defence is a big concern though. Hope Shahar and Neave start getting minutes and look a fret so they can be squad players without splurging on transfers come next season...(doubt).

Nailed it. This is another big reason as to why he looks even smaller than he is, which isn't particularly tall for a GK.

Woltemade hattrick...of own goals.

Think this squad is getting blown up this summer if any of the rumours ring true, potentially losing Tino, Tonali, Bruno, Willock and Hall, while Pope, Burn, Schar and Trippier are on the decline, Lascelles and Krafth gone, Wissa being left in Istanbul and Woltemade getting marched back to Germany. In saying that, I doubt we sell more than 2 of the big guns (Tino/Tonali), but we're left in a tricky situation regarding any rebuild. The League Cup winners and that 3-4 year window of a settled squad is coming to an end. Can't wait to see how we navigate the transfer market come summer...Saudi decisiveness is what we need...Ross Wilson gardening leave is what we'll get.

We conceded 7 goals, mostly of our own making, that second half was pish and not good enough irrespective of opponent.

Cheerleader Bruno didn't work.

Scored 7/12 on target, really poor 2nd half.

Rosenior-esque.

Dan Burn picking this game to go full clown show. Come on lad.

Done by the wet grass...FML.

See you on the other side people. Whatever happens we're still fucking class.

That new team individuality pressing working well there for the ball respecters. Top job Liam.
