That’s a penalty again

That’s a blatant penalty

Don’t know who’s got a worse first touch out of Joelinton and Elanga

Yeah looked much better at the end going down the middle but he then pops it off to someone and they don’t play it quick enough or go backwards. Bruno been really poor as well as Joelinton

Agreed but my main concern is that he has got in good areas and his crossing has been poor and that’s not just today

Half time just as we have started to play well

Finally going down the middle to Woltemade and look so much better

Still don’t see it with Elanga

Tonali better be ok here! Think we need to go down the middle more, always the safe ball out wide and then coming back in again. Did really well midweek at passing through the lines

How’s that not a booking 😂 edit - oh, it is

Agreed but we have little choice

We are not playing great but the referee is ruining this game

This referee is horrendous

Why would I want to see a chance for Palace? I’m not watching that game

Never a foul this. Started well this ref letting the game flow and the last few free kicks he has given to them have been so soft

Yeah he would have been perfect but doesn’t seem like we were ever in for him. Someone like that Turkish full back at Brighton would be decent. Would get plenty of minutes being able to play both and we could take a punt on someone from Europe as opposed to the Prem

Definitely need a full back in January, was worried about this positions depth but at the same time understood why we didn’t sign anyone as other positions were more urgent. Think we will be fine today but the concern is flogging Trippier and Burn every game if Hall is out for a month or two with Tino also out

Yeah we need to win today, would be really disappointing going into the October internationals in 15th (or worse). So not must win but close to it. Unchanged for me and we will have too much for them. It really helps that they also had Europe this week and a day less preparation as well.

Maybe not the best overall player we have ever had but certainly the best centre mid for me. Does a bit of everything and I can still see him going up another level or two

If we can get six points from the next two that would be huge and it feels very possible. Would mean we would only need two draws or a win from the remaining four games to more than likely secure a play off spot.

Didn’t like the sounds of Thiaw based on what others had said but always trusted Eddie and the scouts opinions because they rarely miss. Looks like they haven’t missed again, what a player! Every aspect of his game is as good as Schar’s with the added pace, no brainer that he is first choice for me.

Bournemouth 2-0 Fulham Leeds 1-2 Spurs Arsenal 3-1 West Ham Man United 1-0 Sunderland Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool Villa 3-0 Burnley Everton 1-1 Palace Newcastle 2-0 Forest Wolves 2-2 Brighton Brentford 1-3 Man City

Saw someone on an earlier page say we could do with better players around him for link up play. Would love for us to go for someone like Ndiaye, think he would work really well with Woltemade, can play anywhere across the front, keeps hold of the ball really well and has the work rate of a Howe player.

Will be a difficult game but we should be winning this really. Yes they are unbeaten but they are playing poor teams week in week out and if we turn up and play we should have too much for them. I would take a very scrappy uninspiring 1-0 win

Would rather a 4-3-3 but trust Howe and will be interested to see how it works, as mentioned 5 at the back worked well against them last time so fingers crossed it does again. Does feel like a 0-0 or a 1-0 either way game.
