Yeah.... Imagine letting one of the best CMs in the league, this year, go

Limited space to run into playing for us. We don't sit as a low block and counter. He has no idea what to do with it in the final third, particularly under pressure

Realistically dominated them for 7 minutes and then sat back. 25% possession at HT. Interested to see it at FT.

I wasn't saying you are wrong

So we can't come from behind Nor defend a lead Worrying.

I love this place

I don't want to speak too soon, but what a breathe of fresh air this referee has been He's let the game flow and it has benefitted from it. He's not got a big decision wrong. He spotted the dive and used his cards when needed on both teams (including a yellow in the first 3 mins and set a mark -- not many willing to do that!) Could use him to train some of ours in the UK!

Absolutely. But better to wait and be safe though than be picked off outside when alone or in small groups, by ultras.

It's funny and it's 'soft', but it's a red. "Deliberately strike an opponent or any other person on the head or face with their hand or arm, unless the force used was negligible" It's down to the referee to determine what negligible is. Stupid from Gueye, and he rightly walked.

Maybe Dan Whelan, Packers Punter.

Looks like Daniel Whelan, Packers Punter. But not sure.

Nothing left on his contract when we sold

Could still yet find themselves in trouble. Look at their schedule until mid Jan Bournemouth Liverpool Man City Us Brighton (away, long trip) Leeds (6-pointer IMO) Man City Spurs Brentford (2nd game away in 3 days) Palace They could easily have a disastrous stretch of games

And will spend his entire day's looking over his shoulder for Stormzy coming back (for the 4th time!)

Good shout. What a goal. Tiote Goal Trigger Warning: Scenes of Alan Pardew and Sports Direct ad boards.

Hall and Tino provide much more stability. Thiaw solid as ever. Schar gives a sense of stability. Midfield good, could use an extra CM for Big Joe. Can't wait for Wissa to be fit. Woltemade looks shagged out.

Hall never loses a one on one header. He has springs in his boots

11 more minutes of this shit

You're a curse mate

The gap between our CL performances and PL performances is blatantly obvious. The players are mentally prioritising the CL. It's exactly like when we had a terrible run of games prior to both League Cup semi finals and final across both years.

Was both a dive and a penalty I'd still give him the yellow

We're actually dreadful Woltemade isn't capable of playing as a lone man striker and despite our 4-3-3 formation that's what we're asking him to do Our formation relies on wing backs getting up and down. Burn nor Trippier have the legs. We're missing Tino and Hall badly. Not hugely impressed with Botman, either. Thiaw and Barnes the only light in a very dull performance.

Quite a few actually. Murphy, Barnes, Woltemade. Clearly they've been given a choice.

I notice some really random shit that I probably shouldn't when watching games. For example, Woltemade not wearing a poppy
