Fucking hell Neeek

Awful. Just awful.

No, they wouldn’t - that’s shite. There’d be a song or two. Banners and celebrating like you’ve won the league on the final whistle? Nope.

Their run-in is scary mind

Christ, is Bruno hungover?

Watkins has Schar on toast

Really really poor this. Half asleep again.

Wouldn’t go yet

Fell asleep in the middle again. Bruno and Joelinton having a stroll-off. Both need to wake up - we’ve had a let off with VAR

Gan on then, I’ll bite - I usually try not to. Why the fuck do you only come on here during the game in order to try and post troll stuff? Fucking hell man, if this game really does make you this miserable, take up another hobby.

Yep - it’s a clear tactic and we were falling for it first 15. Get tight on Trippier and then turn him for pace.

Shearer also hoying pelters at Gordon on the international feed here.

Agreed - Bruno has been worse than Gordon for me but the young’un is getting a slating. I used to sit next a bloke at the match like that - would pick on ‘easy’ targets.

Poor but only one-nowt. Desperately need to change things - and for the side to wake up generally. It’s a training ground performance so far - not just the energy levels but the decision-making is off. I do also think this shows that a pacy centre back would be a very useful summer addition. Not that there’s much wrong with our back line generally, but for games like this where we’re constantly being caught on the turn it is obvious that Botman could do with a quick no 5 alongside him

For all the ‘Emery out-tictacking Howe’ stuff, a lot of this is down to underperformance from some of our key players. Other than the first 15 mins we haven’t looked under that much pressure since - and we’ve got levels left in us

If we can weather this they’ll blow themselves out. Ho’way a sucker punch before HT

I bastard hate early kick offs. Feels like we’ve always been shite at them

Trippier has been caught upfield several times now. The woodwork has prevented them scoring twice from poor positioning from our RB. BDB’s turn was fucking ludicrous, but neither FB looks on it atm

BDB needs to start doing the simple stuff simply again. That was poor and led to that. We’ve been poor opening 10 mins again tbf - they’re catching Trippier upfield constantly

I know Milburn, Mitchell, White and Keeble all scored 10+ league goals each in 54/55 - not sure if we’ve ever managed to have five players on 10+? edit: top flight only

Rice would be the biggest signing since pre-Ashley. It would be an unbelievable deal tbh. It still feels like we’re a couple of years away from a signing like that, but wor Eddie didn’t exactly rule it out …

You might want to check where Rice is from ...

Yeah, the poorly-timed KOs and ludicrous pricing didn't help. Agree with the standard, too - it was a dreary tournament, no outstanding teams, the best player on show was a holding midfielder (albeit a superb one) which summed it up, really. Euro 2000 was a vast improvement.

The odd time I've played one of his videos he comes across ok, but I completely agree - shite like that is desperate.

I still think Maddison ends up at Spurs or Liverpool. I imagine Liverpool deciding against it has more to do with Bellingham not fancying that move.
