The only people for whom ‘keeping Wood’ should be ever in their mind are male porn stars

I wouldn’t have Hall above anyone in terms of ratings tbf. Bruno head and shoulders above the rest of the MF for me, too.

It’s a pisser, but it’s hard not to imagine that Tonali, Isak and Botman wouldn’t have made a hell of a difference in these last two games. The other players missing too, but those three being missing is a massive hole.

He should be withdrawn from that too - or rested by Southgate

He was the best NUFC player on the park for me.

Bournemouth feels like a good opportunity to give him a needed break. Looks leggy, understandably so. We also need to start allowing others to take some dead balls.

That Leicester side were fucking horrible to watch, too. Proper hoofball merchants.

Those PSV games were very similar to these Dortmund games. We were powderpuff in those.

Likewise. He was the one in our midfield who didn’t look lost at this level. I think he was carrying the others in all honesty.

We took four points off Kiev

I don’t think it should happen either - but I’d be happy for us to take the opportunity. It does undermine the UEFA Cup though.

Eddie’s unique take on not travelling to European games until the day of the game needs knocking on the head. There’s a reason no other manager does this.

Honestly, I don’t think this Dortmund side are any great shakes. Injuries, tiredness, inexperience and horrendous weather in the home match have as much to do with the results as anything

Ah well, not the end of the world. Frustrating more than owt - it doesn’t feel like we’ve been at the races these last two games. Injuries have it us, as has inexperience on and off the pitch.

They just got larruped at the weekend. Being a German international isn’t what it once was, either.

Literally just beat Man Utd and Arsenal in the last week

It’s surprising how long he takes to deliver a piss poor cross. I’ve seen fly halves take less time to kick 40 yard pens

We might still be in either of those. And don’t talk daft re not qualifying for the CL

I do. More the merrier. Home vs AC likely crucial

Feels like 97/98 all over again. Shock win and a battling draw away against tough opposition, before home and away defeats in the most passive fashion possible

Howe has to start taking them off Trippier. I’m pretty fucking sure we’ve other players who can cross a fucking ball

Our FKs really are more likely to result in conceding

Apparently Dortmund just don’t get booked

Controversial opinion here - the Yellow Wall thing is just wank. Organised fun, no connection to what’s actually happening in front of them. They go weirdly silent for Dortmund attacks, before the twats with megaphones with their backs turned to the game and their pals with the drums start another dirge

Not helped by having to board a plane from Brighton the day of the game
