Norwich look awful though - just going to ground it bringing players down. When did they get this bad?

That was the wrong ball from gelhart s well

Gonna be playing for us if he keeps finishing like that

Should have been two as well

Winning 1 - 0

You could be right but it would be a shame to Pidgeon hole him into that without giving him a chance to prove otherwise. I’d like us to balance the amount of support / chances players get as some get way too much and some don’t get enough. for me - start isak, target and Murphy

Wait until the match thread

Unfortunately - this is what I think

Think their record this year is won 4 drew 3 lost 3 (very quick count so could be wrong) so I think they’ll be going for the win to be honest.

Man City games always are, then and palace bore the shit out of me

Red Leicester

Need to see this but not watching MOTD

Ignore me as great news, Leeds have equalised

This calendar year, if Brighton win today they’ll be on 14 points from a possible 24. Is that enough to get them fourth (if they keep it up) I wonder?

That’s an old saying - Bruce Willis recorded an album called that meany years ago of him doing covers of his favourite Motown songs. Wasn’t a bad album actually

I think Brighton definitely will but after that i feel it's down to our goal scoring, otherwise we'll be averaging a point a game and i think Fulham will catch us eventually. Sort that out though and i'll be confident of anything up to 4th. This is a season defining moment I feel with next two games and if we do what we did with Leeds and West Ham then 8th, win them then 4th - 6th just because of the confidence boost it will give.

That's fair enough.

it's still Howe's first full season in charge - just because he gave himself such a high target last season doesn't mean any drop off from now will deem it as unsuccessful. If we break top ten and improve on last season then i'll applaud him and all involved at the end, saying that i'll totally understand people who don't and won't be jumping on here causing arguments either.

They pay at least 3 times what we do, win trophies and are currently in all of the top competitions. Why would you be that amazed? Genuine question - my apologies if it sounds arsey

I genuinely believe we’ll finish 8th but that’s still a big leap forward and a success. Think we’ve run out of steam and I read somewhere about how many of our players have played over 2000 minutes of football this season and it’s showing.

I actually also think this will be just a one off and you’ll be back to winning ways from next week but you were lucky to not get Fernandez sent off yesterday - the guy could have had at least 3 yellows, If that was our Bruno he would have walked - I have no doubt about that.

Agreed - he must start fire a decent run of games now, give the lad a proper chance

Agreed but we still have to get this scoring monkey off our backs before we can Turn the corner and imo our front three must just be exhausted and need rotating.

Didn’t miss much really - 7 tap ins

Keanes right about the chances Man U give - Howe needs to be saying to our players “this is what we’ll get with a bit more composure and clinical finishing in front of goal”. As I said earlier though - after seeing how good Liverpool are at the moment gives me a lot of belief for the wolves game.
