Agree on Barnes, cause he wasnt playing with NT. Gordon hasnt been as good as last year. Barnes earns a place.

Yes, but there might be 100 reasons that we don't know behind this. "Playing your best players" meant for example with Pardew that he played Ba as a left winger, which didn't really work defensively at all. His changes turned the game, and he made them early. Great job. Overall our performances have been poor, especially attacking-wise. Right side is dead at the moment. Livramento and Murphy doesn't work at all, and centrebacks cannot play to midfield if Bruno is marked.

This. Both are able to make runs that especially Longstaff does not make.

People might not realize, that Howe might just want to have options at the bench? Bringing in Murphy and Longstaff against tired legs does nothing. Bringing Harvey and Tonali does. I am pretty sure Tonali starts the next one. Isak is again wandering nowhere to be seen for a long while. Not his fault, but I like it when he drops deep and turns. Our system especially in away games isolates him way too much. He is not a target man to hold up the play. This is really something Howe should fix. Maybe Trippier starting away could be one answer. He adds pace to our play with his passing. Tino is more of a dribbler. Burn is horrible. I mean he blocks and wins headers, but he is so slow and poor 1v1 that it is ridiculous.

Hall to CM?

Hopefully Isak is not out for long

Longstaff and Burn awful.

Longstaff has had a rest. Tonali has been playing a lot after 10 months abcence. Strong bench. Understand Howe in this case.

Bournemouth are running themselves to the ground in 60 minutes with that style. They have had enough of chances to win it

That high with that speed is dangerous nonetheless

Studs first to knee? Yea it is.

Lol. They are awful

Howe said he thinks players signed before were good and we love them to bits. That is exactly sort of diplomatic answer Howe can give. He knows Wood and Targett were not great deals, but of course manager is not going to single anyone out. He cannot answer any other way.

Too easy. But Carsley’s England is a lot better than Southgate’s

but great hit

Feel sorry for Hradecky. We are so bad and he is so good.

Hradecky saved pretty much everything before that.

England will get out of the first gear second half. Keskinen should have passed to Pukki…

Dude, I am a Finn.

Yea, great match this…

Yea our goalie gifted the first and then it was game over. Going to be ugly on Tuesday.

England-Finland is going to be about 5-0. We are so bad defensively now. And offensively too..

I don't recall him having a save to make. We were abysmal.

What is wrong with Speed's shirt there..?

The same Romero who was all over the place (again) at SJP last weekend?
