Its 100% expected with the way these guys have been playing.

Actually have no idea what to think about that situation. Red seems really harsh, but on another hand you cant be allowed to do that shit.

Lol. Thats not right, even if it looks crazy.

The way he just jogged back on their second goal when Milan overwhelmed our defenses really pissed me off. Had only played 20 mins prior. Thats mental, not physical causes. Used to be my favorite, now i dont know.

Ohh well, always look on the bright side of life. Now we can focus on domestic cups and premier league. Really believe Europe league would have been too much for us this season.

Really dissapointed in Isaks effort there. Only played 20min ffs.

The players really need the crowd behind them here.

We looked knackered before the international break aswell.

Nah, we were 3rd last year on the away table. Think its a mix of coincidence and that the players are able to fight through the tiredness when playing with the home crowd behind them this year.

Its not that weird tbh, we really look awful when we lose and awesome when we win. No in between

I mean sure we have been unlucky with injuries, but we have a bench of players not being utilized for 4 games before this. Need to replace all of those atleast.

And fuck off with blaming any of the players. They have ran their socks off the entire season. If we are ever going to compete in multiple competitions with our current playstyle, we need a much bigger squad.

Really got to question Howe starting an unchanged team again, and right before the Milan game. I dont care that we dont have the best quality available on the bench. The quality from the players on the pitch today isnt exactly a high standard to replace anyways. But more importantly we need players fit and ready for Milan.

Spurs look fucked aswell. Can still get something here.

Still think it would have been wild to rest Trippier for this?

It is a huge concern tbh. Thats just reality. Facing it doesnt mean i am negative.

Villa's results isnt a fluke, theyve been maintaning their form for over a year now. Dont see is catching up to them if we fall further behind this month.

Cant be easy to get a top class GK in the january window tbh. Also really need the funds to bulk up other positions. 90% sure we will stick we what we got.

Yeah i dont get that either, people really dont see how tired we are at the end of games? Its super obvious.

A huge part of our play when we are playing good is the intensity we bring. It looks like that wasnt the game plan today, simply because the players dont have the energy for it 90 mins twice a week. Even without the intensity we are used to the players looked knackered at the end. Without the intensity we are far from being a top level team.

The first goal was not really such a well placed shot, Dubravka was on his heels and doesnt even leap. A world class keeper with extreme reactions could have taken it. Second goal he throws himself before the shot is taken, ofcourse Pope could have taken it. The shot hits the middle of the goal. 3rd goal i dont see Pope letting in often, not from that angle. Not one of them was a bad mistake, but what we can expect from an average GK.

Its not wild. He is clearly showing huge signs of fatigue and we have the most important match so far this year coming up 3 days later. If he puts on the same eleven vs both Spurs and Milan its more than likely going to end with us not winning either. We got to have some young talents in our academy who can get the chance? Atleast half an hour or so.

Are we sure that the obligation to buy clause doesnt include a minimum amount of games? Cant understand not giving him some minutes when Trippier is clearly done for.

Its clear to see that we are lacking in energy at the end of games. 5 days or not.

We have to sacrifice some games, he cant let the same players play 90min twice a week any longer.
