Kid Dynamite

He was absolutely incredulous that the ref dared to send him off. He gets away with murder in the Saudi league by all accounts.

Some revisionism going on here mind. We only lost to Arsenal and Liverpool with 96th and 99th min winners earlier in the season. Comfortably beat Spurs, Benfica, Bilbao, USG, Bradford in the cups. Held our own against Barca. There's not a huge post-Isak hangover in the dressing room, we've played some mint football at times with big Nick at the centre of it. I suspect the issue is Howe demanding the players play a high press, fast paced game, twice a week, with minimal rotation. Woltemade, Elanga, Gordon, Tonali, Bruno, Burn and Joelinton have also played a handful of internationals on top of that. We didn't figure out how to do it in 2023, and we haven't figured it out now. Same happened to Villa in the CL, but they seem to have hit a bit of form now alongside their EL games.

I've got the same issue. I suspect it may be my sacroiliac joint giving me grief. NSAIDS are the only thing that help. I'd have to be in the verge of being wheelchair bound before I had back surgery. Never met anyone who didn't regret it!

Give them it and chalk it up as a 3-1 loss instead

Aye. Putting my big boy pants on, we are in the 1/4 final of the league cup and on course to finish in the top 8 in the CL group. Any talk of sacking Howe is ludicrous. It's just frustrating that we've looked so toothless in back to back games. We've got a team of world beaters, and they've all lost form at the same time. It's got to be something to do with intensity levels (or lack thereof) when playing 2 games a week. Exactly the same happened the last time we had CL and LC games either side of PL games. The issue comes when we don't have a plan B though

Who the hell do you replace him with though. Man Utd would replace Amorim with Howe in a heartbeat

3pts off 19th

It's a carbon copy of 2 years ago.

West Ham all over again. This needs a fucking inquest

Trailing by a goal and being given another 11 minutes should have our players buzzing and chasing every ball. We look more likely to lose 3-1 atm

11 minutes we really are Liverpool

We need to enjoy the CL ride this season, because we are a about 4 weeks off being out of the top 6 running already

4 subs coming on just as we are about to go 2-1 down. Too fucking late

Honestly man. I love Howe, but why the fuck can't he see what everyone else can. Burn has been a liability all day

That's on fucking Howe that.

Concussion for Pope.

So fucking lucky there. If that's a big 6 club that's a penalty. If the ref gave it, VAR isn't overturning it

Burn has been a liability all game

Reckon this will be a pen under VAR

Pope, FFS

What a fucking touch by big Nick too. He meant that.

Lovely finish by Barnes

Turns out he isn't injured. I take it all back
