Another half hour of this, great

Fucking retarded

Remember how this side used to feed off the energy of the crowd? Feels like a long time ago now.

Our back line is painfully slow

Awful defending, pretty flat performance all round tbh.

That finish man

Brain dead

That’s the most American thing I’ve seen today

The fickle nature of football fans never ceases to amaze me

I think the issue with Barnes is he’s a great direct finish player, but you don’t get as much in terms of overall work rate from him. I wonder if Howe felt when signing him that the defensive side of the game could be coached into him more than it has been up to now.

This. The fact he traveled and was pitchside suggests it’s nothing to serious.

What would you have done differently? I don’t think he got it massively wrong in any area, they are just a far better side than us right now. Isak would have likely scored Wilson’s second through on goal chance.

Nothing to pick at tonight, with Isak in we could have a result here

He’s rusty in front of goal no doubt, but in terms of his overall game he’s looked far sharper than I expected. It’s still there.

Don’t think Wilson has looked bad at all tbh, his finishing is rusty but overall game has been decent.

Bruno’s lack of athleticism gets exposed in games like these

Wilson looking rusty as you’d expect

Dreadful

Wrong ball to play anyway

That’s different, if he’s got a knock and they don’t want to risk him.

There is no way Howe takes this loser mentality approach of ‘we’ll lose anyway, so fuck it I’ll rest my best players’.

Everyone’s inconsistent, feels like a real coin flip at the minute.

These stories have to be rubbish I mean it’s surely just not worth the bad press alone.

Awful defending, how we gave them a free pass I’ll never understand

We have a mentality issue, and it’s nothing new.
