Look, he made a mistake, but you don't sub keepers unless you have to. 

Arteta would have took him off

 Pope was poor there but you can't put that goal just on him. The defending afterwards was very poor and tired. 

I think you can. Had Pope caught it there'd be nowt to defend. He put them in that position in the first place.

[aimaad22 3569]

Schar has been our best defensive and offensive player today. 

[Howay 12496]

Surely you have to sub trippier now 

[Zathras 234]

Effing take Trippier off! gonna get himself sent off

[Gemmill 35322]

Would FUCKING LOVE Joe Willock to get a winner here.

 We had 3 players go in fully committed with tired challenges. It was poor.

Fucking pointless by Burn there. Useless effort.

[Howay 12496]

Really flat poor performance by our lot today

I think when you look at the squad + the injuries this kind of performance is just inevitable with the extra matches. As frustrating as it is we’re just being found out and the manager is limited in how much he can influence that.

 I'll happily take a point all things considered. Playing with a bit of a depleted squad here and seemingly can't use two 70M players sat on the bench

That's just two 1-1s that.

[Gemmill 35322]

A point is a really good result here, given the context. Just need to hold out for it now.

[aimaad22 3569]

Not the time to have your petulant match costing moment here Bruno

Having said that, Holden McGroin is a fucking PATHETIC match thread starter.

[Dazzler 5757]

Fucking Lascelles going for a bastard German suplex.

Aye I don’t understand not making subs. 
 

The thinness of our squad does come down to our sometimes odd recruitment, we’ve bought 5 full backs, and 2 left wingers despite other areas of the pitch screaming out for players.

I agree but if we’re going to be ultra critical I think Howe could utilise his bench more. The lads on the pitch have played a lot of football. A lot of them look knackered If he doesn’t trust the likes of Lewis Hall or Livramento it begs the question - why did we sign them in the first place? We couldn have even put Targett on to offer some width down the left. Burn looks shagged 

[Dr Gloom 20083]

Fuck we could have scored there!

Yeah. I agree and said earlier I can’t understand not putting those Hall and Livramento on with about 30 to go. It was 2-1 then as well. I guess Howe doesn’t want to disrupt things too much in defence at the point. But we’re going to have to utilise what we’ve got with the CL games. 

[aimaad22 3569]

Ffs Bruno man does thing again where he thinks he can protect the ball and just gives it away leading to a counter. 

[aimaad22 3569]

And that's that. Strange day and performance but a good point under the circumstances. 

[Dr Gloom 20083]

Wilson man of the match
