More chance of rudders being sacked !

You need to put that bottle down now …..

Vestergaard won’t go anywhere in jan when he’s a free agent six months later I’d say the same for any of the players OOC next June

I was thinking how many people around the world now recognise the Dutch and Austrian national anthems ….

Was hoping for a good game …..

Don’t want to embarrass an old man

Burnley have shown signs of life but Everton finding something last night makes their task v tough

It should be you’d say that only really bad luck with injuries or arrogance could knock us off course

Yes I think so it could well be that they also wait to see how we get on next season if we go up before committing

We spent a lot of money on wages and transfer fees are spread over contract term but I note you write five years which is the standard cycle. It may be that the clubs you’re comparing us to would drop off a bit over the next couple years as their poor purchases catch up with them. I can only wonder if our poor transfer policy over many years came back to bite us on the bum. The owners also converted £200m of loans into shares so we can’t say that they didn’t put any cash in either. otherwise I’d say it was probably that.

Add that he likely wouldn’t want to spend another season in the championship and Lisbon will want to get a fee in from somewhere which wouldn’t be us at those numbers

nothing of significance coming from that imo in the near term even if they are found guilty any claim would take a long time, even if you manage to get a positive outcome (which isn’t certain) how long did sheff u wait for their £12m from West Ham?

Wilf had lost his mojo we know he’s a supreme athlete but his passing let’s him down. I think enzo has tried to calm him in possession so he doesn’t snatch at things pre season it seemed clear that we would play with two eights and wilf was selected as one of them. I wondered if he would be capable of playing that role. We are playing with winks holding the space and orchestrating. Our first choice eights are wilf and kdh. That’s quite a pair of pressing players to keep the opposition away from the space around winks

Based on these responses, it’s not a clear and obvious error bit I think arkle is wrong - his hand is away from his body and it also stops the ball going into the net

I think one of the biggest threat to our goal comes from set pieces for that reason I count Doyle as a very important member of the back line

Poor call at the end by the ref i thought the Irish took that maul down and the ball then came out as he called it wasn’t

Been a really good game but Libbock’s place kicking let SA down

He’ll play at anfield at some point

We’ve mostly started second periods very poorly

Surprised it’s not hamza if Ricky is coming off

Even if we go a goal up, I would expect them to play the same way and then look to nick an equaliser late on

Totally agree poor final passes or passes or passes in the final third letting us down Not surprised to see us controlling the game given how deep they’re playing but to expect us to just rip through them is simply naive

Defo got booked for that foul the hwang thing is strange - sky had him booked for waving the card but nowhere else shows it post match

Or a deflection off a defensive player that sends the ball forwards even though it was played backwards

Can’t be offside from a corner (even thought technically he is) If it was a free kick from there (and not a corner) then he would have been offside, even though the ball was further back when headed than where it started - it’s the position of the attacker when the ball is played that dictates offside or not and not what direction the ball is struck
