Yup this is what I don't get. If the players are inevitably knackered why aren't we starting those on the bench and at least giving ourselves a small chance? At the very least saving the first 11 for coming games?

You have to question Howe and the staff then eh? If a player is so fucked he's falling over anytime a player gets near him we still start him? Would starting Hall, Dummett or Krafth been worse?

Yup. Trust Howe and all that but we've not even remotely looked like competing these 2 games so you might as well have taken a chance with Hall etc and had some players rested for coming games. As it is we're just fecked all around now.

Fatigue is of course a factor but aye he's been very shit these 2 games.

Anyone at this point really

He is but that was laughable for tripper. Howlers for 4 out of 5 goals now. I love this team but at times you need to call it as it is

Just stop it this lol. Embarrassing. You cant put this all on fatigue. Tripper needs to be subbed, he's lost.

Miggy ffs useless. Simple right foot setup for Isak there....

3 players unmarked at the far post there. It's the 30 minute

We've been a different side away from home the whole season.

This is going to be embarrassing. Just start other players man we will get beat anyway. Trips needs a rest. Done so easily. It's just not working.

A win takes us fifth. Would be brilliant under the circumstances. Top 4 breaking away a bit but we cant think too much on that right now.

After Thursday I just don't know where they're supposed to get the energy to compete in this game. Let's see whats left for Milan/Fulham

They're already 8 points clear. This is an uncessary complication in our quest for a repeat CL finish but well done to them. The blip will come at some point as it did for us last season, let's see how they cope with that and injuries etc.

Dodgy decision with 98th minute winner coming up

I do concur with the general pant pissing on the last couple of pages here in that this group of players has probably reached their phyiscal limit, and the reaminder of the month could be very painful. Don't think we should be writing off the league though. Even if more poor results follow. We're still in touching distance and post January with players back we will look a very different team. A lot will happen between then and the end of the season. Europe is and should remain a target, CL would be a bonus like last season. This baptism of fire season will do wonders for us long term.

Worse, he could be working in tax.

Where does this leave us for Sunday? Another away game against a decent team with apparently noone returning to the squad. Eddie would probably snatch your hands off for a point.

Where did I say that? We've had tough luck with fixtures too. But we've dealt with it at home, and struggled away. We just can't generate the same energy/intensity away from SJP. Not saying any of this is not understandable. It's just frustrating. I think Trips will hold his hands up. Tired or not we were very much in the game till the horrendous errors. Just gota move past it now.

I know man But we have one away win so far. It's not just tiredness.

Emarrassing stuff this. Not for the first time this season fallen apart away from home.

Hall is the one I'm puzzled about. You'd think six months into the season he could at least be a 15-20 minute impact sub and relieve Trippier for a bit with Tino moving to RB. But there's been a few occasions now when players he could replace have looked visibly knackered but Eddie's not trusted him.

And another good chances wasted. Just a shite day all around

Yup, terrible away form. No chance of CL unless we improve that dramatically.

Miggy and Gordon, Joe have all had shite evenings too. Everton fans will be lapping it up. Frustrating as hell that this is basically happening because we've run of of gas.
