I know many disagree with me but Srnicek was of similar ability. Unbelievable shot-stopper but little beyond that. We need a more complete keeper if we’re going to continue to challenge at this level.

The ability to delete them will no doubt be a moderator-only privilege.

I’d rather we’d played him through the middle instead of Gordon. Given how flaky their defence was, particularly in the first half, I reckon he’d have terrified them. We need to be giving him a run from the start - not as an impact sub. I dare say he’d have been far more effective as RWB than Murphy as well.

I think we’ve seen more of it recently but let’s be honest he’s always had it in his locker - acts before he thinks.

You’ve nailed this, mind. Once is a blip, twice can be forgiven, 3 away games in a row and it’s reckless to carry on picking him. I haven’t forgotten his moment of madness at Parkhead in July either. Go back further and there’s that howler against Liverpool that cost him a place in the Carabao Cup Final in 2023. It’s telling that those of us who’ve played in goal and who’ve defended him thus far are saying enough is enough. Hopefully Adam Bartlett is thinking the same. He’s a tremendous shot-stopper, but demonstrably his decision making isn’t good enough for the level we’re at. And that’s before we consider how he is with the ball at his feet.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I know it’s not playing a Rolls Royce CB out of position because he’s the least worst option.

It definitely shouldn’t be Thiaw. He’s fucking immense and one of the stand out centre backs in the PL this season. Playing him at RB would be insane.

Depends what we get. We definitely need a prolific goalscorer rather than another of the Woltemade mould. Without Aubameyang, we win tonight. His potency was the difference.

The fact we’ve got two lads over 6ft 5in and we can’t beat the first man is utterly criminal

If Osula moves out we probably need two. That sounds depressingly familiar.

A lot of common sense here, particularly regarding Burn who I think does get off lightly at times on account of him being the local hero. He isn’t great with the ball at his feet and at times we should be prioritising other CBs. Dunno what the fuck is going on with Gordon but he looks terrified to go in where it’s a 50:50. Can’t afford him to step off challenges like he is.

We definitely need to be looking at another proven striker in January. The inability to finish is costing us big time. i get the sentiment to lose by the odd goal to what is a very good side is nothing to be ashamed of, but it’s the manner of it. We came out after half time expecting them to be the same as they were before the break. Naivety of the highest order

We need to be giving Ramsdale a run in the side from this weekend.

Aubameyang is just the type of striker we’re missing at the moment. Half a sniff and it’s in the net. Doing it at 36 as well.

Aye I don’t see anything ‘wild’ about the negativity. It’s proportionate

How is it Shearer is often co commentator on TNT but not our games? We get Glenn fucking Hoddle.

On that evidence, not Tonali

tbf we’ve been past masters at it

As great as he was on Saturday, he’s been equally awful tonight. His passing has been shocking

Our corner routines are fucking garbage

70 mins and we finally decide to put a forward on.

Thank fuck for Miley

Aye I'm not hanging my hat on us getting something simply on the grounds Marseille have dropped more points from winning positions in the CL than anyone. Hopefully you prove to be right.

Sorry like, the equaliser is all on him and it changed the momentum. I’ve defended him more than most but he had no right being out there. Ramsdale needs a run in the team

I’d like to think we can still get something but it’s a tough ask. They’ve come out a totally different side and we came out expecting no difference.
