Hopefully season really starts with our traditional 4-6 goals against Spurs

Sandro at home 💪🏻

[ponsaelius]

Subs changed the game yes but I don't think it shows any real tactical acumen. We just brought on four very expensive players at once and got a footing in the match as they tired a bit - and they had less options to bring on in retaliation. It's shit being able to make so many subs tbh.

Barnes was really good!

Time for Gordon on the right and barnes left from now...

For the short term. I still hope we get in a rw.

You definitely take it, but we didn’t deserve a point.

We did like, Neto made like 2/3 really good saves in that second half.

Away we are yes. Some old.

[Stottie]

Fair result for me. We did well to get back into it. Its a handball, so it doesn't count.

 

I don't think Bournemouth deserved any kind of favourable decision because they commited eighteen fouls, most of them whenever we had a semi-promising position or any kind of momentum. Five by Kluivert, four by Cook, neither of whom got a card. I thought we were soft to not pick up on the mood of the ref and start doing it back to them. Bruno needs to be in the ref's face about it. I bet Trippier would be. Crappy little niggly fouls fall more under shithousery than actual cheating, but they still kill the game as a spectacle.

 

[ExiledGeordie]

Mostly really poor today. Barnes and Gordon have to start on wings now if we’re not bringing in another RW. 
 

Ultimately it’s a good point away from home but we’ve got loads of work to do. Not good enough really.

[Yorkie]

As usual I don't think we were terrible or embarrassing or disgraceful or Bruce-like or any of the other hyperbole you get during/after imperfect games. However, it's definitely a concern that we've immediately continued in our limp and anxious away performances. 

 

Barnes and Hall were excellent when they came on, and Willock showed glimpses, which is absolutely cause for optimism. 

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Joelinton should have walked tbf, grabbed him around the neck

[astraguy]

i fell asleep  did we look any better after i think 60 mins i went

Tonali coming back too. 

 

Hopefully Longstaff is consigned to the bench for the foreseeable. 

[Dr Venkman]

Everyone forgetting that EH teams always start slowly? That’s the beauty of the easier fixtures this time.

Is everyone watching a different incident with the hand ball?

The ball hits him square on the badge, below the shoulder above the cuff. 

Clear hand ball.

Expand  

They're talking about the sleeve, but if my memory serves that was only ever intended to be used as a marker for defensive actions. Ie a defender goes to block a shot, it hits his sleeve,  no handball and no subsequent free kick or penalty.
 

But if you put the ball in the back of the net whilst attacking with your arm it’s a fucking handball

[Mag_in_NZ]

Point on the road, maybe Lady Luck smiled

 

good to see Little Joe back and overall better from the subs

 

onwards and upwards 

[mush]

Against Spurs please:

 

Pope

Trippier-Burn-Kelly-Hall

Joelinton-Bruno-Willock

Gordon-Isak-Barnes

 

Get Tonali on for 30 minutes too

In a nutshell that’s why longstaff and Murphy are squad only. Can’t wait for Sandro and hopefully a right winger or just play barnes. Longstaff once again with the pathetic flop when in prime position for a shot.

We were terrible for a good period in fairness. Really poor on the ball, look unfit as well. Delighted with a point mind.

[The Prophet]

Thought a point was about right there. Both teams had spells in the game, but neither did enough to win it.

[Sima]

I’m glad we’re getting more Carragher insight rather than hearing post-match interviews after a controversial finish to our game.

[dave s]

good to see willock back .. fair result I suppose, but we need to be better than this 

[TheBrownBottle]

I’m ok with the draw, but that was poor. The four points we’ve got so far is as reflective of the opposition as us - every area of the pitch needs to improve and quickly or our luck will run out fast.

[Theregulars]

Makes decision to de-armband and bench trippier look even weirder too. So much better once Tino went off.

God help us if so.

 

The amount of pressure it invites on our defense is unbelievable. And it just spreads through the team and puts everyone on edge.

 

Willock and Barnes coming on made them uneasy instead, and pinned them back.

Expand  

Tonali should be available for selection, will improve midfield no end.
