This ref loves the fucking attention
If this is how we are going to perform on Thursdays, don’t need them for now.
Claudius we need them to see who can sink or swim before summer. Right now a couple are drowning.
Claudius
The tone was set from Match day 1. We don't start our best team and have tried to wing it with most of our backup players. It's not a surprise that we've come unstuck against the first decent side we've faced.
There's not much you can take out of this or previous campaigns. It's being managed like it's the Carabao Cup.
est the stupid faces all the time, one of those refs who loves the lime light
I hope no one misses 😔 saw Martinelli and Saka putting their hands up
Clrnc Yeah, we're still not going to win it. Even if they lost all of their keepers and had to play the LB in goal, we'd still find a way. It's one of those games.
est Fucking hell both time we lost the toss. You might be right
Clrnc Well we hardly have pen takers given the fact that we never get pens
Hope their keeper pulls up his hamstring or something
Huge learning experience for this young contingent. Balanced over 200+ minutes. Real shame about that 2nd half where just didn't have any presence or intent. This is going to be intriguing now with their GK on fire.
Panda Worried
daredevil it’s important in this title run to get players ramped up. We have Jesus, Vieira, Tomi, ESR etc. who all need proper minutes to get integrated into the team. Without this competition, rotation becomes a lot lot harder.
Holding's sacrificed himself to even up the numbers 😆
Panda i want to be out there, but the rules are the rules.
The drop off from Partey and Ode is just too much
This isn't looking good
Oh well at least we can focus 100% on PL
I agree. My point was that we weren't participating in this competition like a team aiming to win it, but rather using it as an avenue to build up the squads fitness.
Nightmare. Can't see us putting 5 past this keeper the way he's played.
Ode!
Fucking worst nightmare as an England fan. Anything but this.
Saka is taking them well
