"Joe Willock like new signing" - Mrs Wyki

Sule is a bloody tank.

Referee has turned his eyes back on.

You know who won't have missed it? 😘

Blind Freddy woukd be an upgrade on the ref, missing Wilson getting dacked*. * Joe Mangel (tm)

The Murph and $andro, finally.

Schär again, fucking legend.

How good was that tackle from Schär by the way. Fucking class. Paul Dummett will have rolled a tear watching that.

Malen must really stink or something, none of our players want to go near him.

Done zilch but short of a couple of passes that he miscontroller first half he's had zilch supply too. Here's something though, the crowd needs something to feed off.

We've definitely not had a home town ref here.

We're missing having a shielding DMF, all of their best chances including their goal have been to players dropping back into the centre with Joe, Bruno and Longstaff always on the wrong side of the player. One of them always needs to be in the deeper position to counter that, it's like they forgot that they can score too. There has to be some balance to our shape. In attack we've lacked their first time shots, it's a weakness some of our players have; Joelinton, Longstaff come to mind, where they always want a touch before shooting. Their goal came from their player hitting quite a difficult shot with the pass moving at pace; the momentum on the ball from the pass took it away from Pope.

I need to see it again, but the defender definitely stuck his leg out.

There was a foul, but it was before the tackle where they clearly got the ball. Not Gordon's fault though, we didn’t track that run through the middle.

Bloody hell. Did anyone track that run?

He has, and they know it. If they take away his passing options (or our players don't move enough for him) he's slow on the ball and can be bullied off it without a foul.

There's been at least 45 minutes of drama in the first 21 minutes.

Clear foul on Longstaff, who has been nervous. Great saves Pope.

If only it was just today. Bunch of faecophiles around here.

Also, Falcao is (was) Brazilian. Falco is (was) Austrian.
