An apparently legal forearm smash to the back of Murphy there.

[Scoot]

Karius looks decent so far mind.

This ref

 

Reckon the ref's been told to help make us look good to make us more popular over there. 

[RodneyCisse]

This ref just letting them hack us down then Murphy gets done for a slight push.

Commentary is strange af. Mad dog

[The Prophet]

Did Wood pick up an injury or did it look more precautionary?

[LV]

Think this commentator has had a sneaky half of Sagres

Think he had an issue with lower back.

[Sifu]

For whoever is wondering, the commentator is:

Went off with what looked like a lower back injury. He had a frustrated look on his face so likely a little more than just precautionary.

He was shaking his head when he was getting treated. Looks like some kind of injury

Started CM(L) and now he's LW.

[STM]

Few half time notes:

 

ASM looks top heavy, slow and half the player he was.

 

Shelvey looks spent as a PL footballer, it looks as though the pace of our play has surpassed him and he can't keep up.

 

Willock was easily our best player, was everywhere. Made runs, passing, pressing.

 

Murphy looked decent, really good use of pace.

 

Karius looks decent, might be worth pencilling him in as a long term number 2 if he's up for it.

 

Botman is a hard cunt.

 

Love Joelinton, again amazing how far he has come. He now looks waaaay more like scoring than he did as a number 9. Incredible.

[Jack27]

Based on that half of football alone can we leave Shelvey and Lewis in Saudi?

[BottledDog]

Zooming in on the pretty girls seems somehow wrong here mind.

[LV]

Adam P at the front there 

[andycap]

Manquillo has looked decent today mind, cannot say the same for Lewis mind 😂 

[andyman]

Haha, that one dude flashing his stomach

I thought ASM looked good until he went to striker - he carried the ball well, looked to link up, switched the play. Made the correct decision every time for the most part.

 

He doesn't look like he knows what to do at CF.

Manquillo looked poor against Palace before the break. He's looked much sharper here.

 

Poorer opposition but, its crucial we have a competent back up for Trippier.

[BottledDog]

Good to see that bloke in the Manchester United shirt looking suitably sheepish.
