Got it wrong today, worst game to do at this point.

 

Very tough game against Man United next that is now a must win (Hope Forest do as a favour and lessen that).

4 wingers available and Jacob Murphy gets 68 minutes. Really needs to drop his proclivity toward the grafters.

It's a parody of himself at this point.

poor decision for me, the season is almost over and we were desperate for the winner. Gordon up top doesn't particularly fill me with confidence and Barnes, fuck me what was he doing

Not sure he did.  There’ll be reasons for taking off Isak.  Other than that, he can’t put his brain in the players’ heads - some bizarre decision-making by the players was the big problem today for me. 

[r0cafella]

We didn’t have the luxury of resting out best player so it’s a mistake for me.

Absolutely, seemed like they picked the wrong decision almost every time.

[ATB]

Bad decisions all Day. 

[Oregon_Geordie]

Isak looked stoned today in all fairness. Too many today were off the boil, maybe the sunshine had them thinking of a holiday after a long season.

Murphy was atrocious, again. A lot of the time he doesn't even look up before he crosses the ball, it's just hit and hope. Really needs to be moved on

I meant more in the context of the fact we’ve spent a lot of money to be still starting a player that wouldn’t get a game for anyone outside the bottom 4.

Did you? Then why mention 4 wingers available?

[toon25]

Barnes should have started today

Unless injured or exhausted you keep him on.  He's been one the best strikers in the World lately. He looked baffled tbf. Mad decision imo.

Unless injured, exhausted, or you have one fit striker and a six pointer at Old Trafford for your next game.

Im not surprised Murphy having a poor game after a good one. Thats not new. Thats what he usually do. But he was having a really good game against Burnley. Need a new purple RW no doubt about it!

Because it’s not down to injuries. It’s a conscious decision to play him and failure the properly address the issue of RW.

[KaKa]

Man United game is big. Need to do all we can to win that.

 

Worried about Brentford away and their directness and set pieces with Krafth at centre back.

Yeah cant understand Barnes only got 20 min when we played so bad. Howe is not good in game management.

[LiquidAK]

The Isak decision was a bit of a no win tbh. Taking him off chasing the game seems wrong, but he was pretty off it today (as were others) and we were a fraction away from winning it with AG up top with the offside goal. If he kept Isak on, we still drew and he got injured, with Wilson made of glass, it'd be even worse. 

 

In hindsight I wish we'd rolled the dice and kept him on for a moment of quality late on, but struggle to lay a lot of blame at Howe's door for this one. So many misplaced passes and poor decisions in the final third. He can't put it in the net for them.

sounds like you're changing the goalposts a bit.
