Sick and tired of hearing the side are out of gas / knackered tbh

Last sub was made at 52 mins. Surely he could have put Murphy, Dummett or Hall in at the end? Just to run down the clock and to give a bit of energy. I just dont get it

This, Milan, PSG and Liverpool. Amazing the manner in which we've managed to lose these games, like [emoji38]

I think we must hold the world record for injury time goals conceeded.

Livs could have come over to right and we had at least two options for left, tripps wasn’t our only lb choice. He got brought on cos he was tripps and it was the wrong choice.

Aye fair point, his reluctance with hall does seem odd.

Trippier again man 

I've  said the same thing for about the last six games.  He's doing my head in.  You will all pile in on this and somewhat understandably but please, please give him a rest or ........... drop him.  He's been awful lately.

Trippier has personified the ethos of this team for so long but he may well be in serious need of a rest now. 

 

In truth, with the lack of possession we had, we could well have lost it way before penalties had we been playing a side better than Chelsea (and there's a lot of them out there). 

 

It's gutting, this was perhaps our best chance of success this season. if we can get some players back in time for the mackems, we might still be able to forget about tonight. But for now, it's a bastard. 

 

In the meantime, 3 PL games over Xmas including away games at Luton and Liverpool and home to Forest. Can we get at least 6 points from those? I dunno...!

No obviously not but it was a ridiculous thing to do and is now added to a list of fuck ups over recent weeks that have cost us. No point in being in denial about it and brushing it off as a daft mistake he's clearly in shocking form and needs a spell out the team.

 

 

To be honest, we only led because their CB did the same stupid shit.

He's cost us plenty of games single handedly.

 

Most people agree.

 

Needs a vacation.

We didn’t deserve to win but that was a lousy way to lose. 
 

I don’t know why Hall wasn’t given a go but I trust Eddie’s judgement. Given that the whole team were under the cosh, it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway.

I've defended how knackered we've been this season and we are knackered, but that was absolutely shit tbh, I can't defend the way we played in that 2nd half. Whether it was a Trippier mistake, a good bit of play, or anything, something was always likely to happen, it just so happened to be that.

Cant be dealing with more of these late gut punches man :(

We invite it by going 1 up and then just inviting pressure for however long is left in game until the opposition inevitably score.

Yep, he should have been nowhere near the pitch to be honest. It was a good chance to give him a proper weeks rest mentally and physically but instead he’s gonna be in bits now. As I said a page or two back his strength is attacking and we were never doing that tonight, he’s been off recently defending and we had our backs to the wall. Should never have come on.

It's fair to say he should have been nowhere near the pitch, I actually wanted that myself.  But he was the option when cheese slice was done. 

 

Trips hasn't got a problem with betting has he? 

 

safety :lol:
