We give the ball away so cheaply, so often.

Gone to crap since the goal.

Ronaldo looks so old now

Got a bit lucky on the goal Sancho.

They’re passing round us far too easily

I genuinely think we’d get the best out of him by starting him against the top 6, and for all the CL games, and resting him/bringing him on as a sub in all other games. Problem is we’re now short on forwards and I’m not sure his ego would allow for it.

The pies back on today? Everyone's gone early. Can't say I blame them.

Same old story. Should be 3-0 up, foot off the gas. The other team come out 2nd half and we wilt.

his ego's writing cheques his body can't cash. if it weren't for a friendly bank manager letting him go overdrawn, they'd have closed his account by now.

Enjoyed that.

Like a mixed metaphor in a china shop

True though

Mad what a bit of tempo can do to a team ....

That £#%&!ing lull mid half though is a worry, our recent norm....

Don't let them back in, fitness levels need to be upped, keep it fast and funky...

I thought we weren’t completely and utterly shit, which is a novel experience these days.

Hope not but it's already looking that way.

Got to find a way to keep the momentum up, We've looked good in bursts.

Getting there bit by bit with our plan A. Need to get another goal as any comeback by them or another Var mess will see them lose their heads as there's no plan B yet. McT has learned more in 3 months than the last 3 years when Ole, but worse Carrick was in the training set up ffs. There's not a player that's improved over the last few years bar Greenwood ffs and Shaw's renaissance.
