I love how Man United are immediately title contenders according to Sky, now they've snuck past us. The commentators must get given these agendas to push. 

I was in the pub watching and tbf, still half cut from last night, but as we won the game and went above them, and about SIXTEEN goals better off, were we mentioned in that conversation? Only, Man Utd, Arsenal and Spurs have all got to come up here and do you really fancy any of them to get a result? I don’t. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 12736]

Mind, I don’t think Fulham gave us a hard game at all  We had all the ball and once he’d fucked the pen, they just sat back

and asked us to score. Fuck them. Shite

Embarrassing day at the match today. Youngest daughter booked the tickets and had us seated in the middle of a row.

 

Obvs had a little too much to drink and after 10 minutes had to excuse myself for a piss…..

 

Then couldn’t find my seat so had to wait downstairs to be rescued at half time

 

Mortified.

you pillock

After 10 minutes? You shouldn’t be allowed into any stadium with this bladder except the SOL with their convertible toilet seats

Right just woke up after a coupla hours post-match pre-work sleep and me half-awake brain  is thinking … Longstaff.

The bloke is impressing me more and more with his work rate, movement on and off the ball, passing,  defensive and forward play, but for fucks sake his attempts on goal man.

Can the lad not be coached into at least keeping the ball at goal height, then when he misses the target it can either bounce back into play or go out for a throw/corner kick, rather than it landing on the Gallowgate roof or in lvl 7 Leazes end. Apart from owt else it must piss him the fuck off as well as us.

Either that or just ban the lad from ‘shooting’.

[Ayatollah Hermione 12736]

Longstaff has the knack and intelligence to get into the right position. Unfortunately, he can’t finish his fucking tea. He’s Lampard until He has to shoot and then he’s Garry Brady

We were described as "staying in touch".

Not arsed. They can keep us out of the title challenging patter. I’m just looking at the table contentedly.

How was Willock today? He's been impressing me last few games.

That’s the thing though, he doesn’t have to shoot, the daft bastard could pass or just run at someone with the ball.

It’s like he panics into thinking he can score.

Eh? When he breaks into the box and receives the ball 12 yards from goal on the bounce, he shouldn’t shoot?

That’ll do nicely  Arsenal have a nightmare run and we, categorically, do not. It’ll be very interesting to see where things lie in about a months time

As long as we finish above the red mancs I'll be happy. 

[Alex 30241]

Very happy with Longstaff’s performances. He’s gone from being someone practically everyone wanted out the club to a major part of our being in the CL spots. I’m sure there are plenty of upgrades out there but he’s doing sone sterling work. Another Howe success story

Just seen the goal. Great to see Wilson keep digging and great anticipation from Isak. The buzz when we scored. Shame CT was on the concourse wondering why he was wearing a nappy.

He was pretty good again, drove forward when on the ball pressuring the defense and linked up well with those around him.

Is it my imagination but when he first came on the scene didn't he score a few absolute cannon balls from range?

Also looks to me like he is bulking up a bit, whilst Joelinton is becoming leaner. Which is good because it gives him strength on the ball, whilst big Joe is becoming faster. Maybe Joelinton's a muscle donor.

You are obviously missing my point.

[Holden McGroin 4818]

If he keeps getting in position he'll score. He is looking good at the mo. Lovely cross for the goal. Not sure he can replace Bruno in the 6 as he is better as a box to box player.

[Chaser 1053]

I just want Willock to go on a scoring streak again. He's really grown into his position this season, but he needs a bit of luck and composure in front of goal. He's got a great engine, is strong on the ball and gets into good positions. 

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3182]

Does anyone else think Longstaff is shit with the ball? He’s great at tracking and pressing and tackling but whenever he gets the ball he’s shit.

Everyone in the team looks strong (with the exception of Murphy), Miggy impressed me with the way he held off a couple of players on a run where he previously would have either lost it or gone to ground looking for a FK.
