Can't play next week anyway so might as well get in changing room early

Some second half from Arsenal, makes it even more weird that they are so defensive sometimes.

Wow. I don't think the wall set up is good but it's right in the top corner.

Made that look really easy. Always found Declan Rice to be quite likeable.

How are they even spending time looking at that. Desperate to give penalties in this competition sometimes.

Worrying we've got so few definitely leaving, and other than Vardy, no other first teamers. No new contracts should be offered, hopefully Ricardo is up for seeing his last year out and accept anything you can for the rest with a year left.

Difficult to compare different levels though. He has been incredibly shit, don't get me wrong but we were shit before he got here too. Ruud managing in the championship? Hopefully we'll never know.

Always funny to take a read of the first few pages of a new manager thread when it's clearly gone wrong There was plenty of opportunities to sympathise with Ruud, and initially I did, given he has had no say on this squad and no opportunities to improve it but you can't be this shit. Squad is rubbish, no doubt about that, and we were always going down unless a manager did a brilliant job, but to do it without showing even a remote of promise is incredible. To not even try. He really should have quit after the window closed, he knew has was on a hiding to nothing after that point and has probably chucked his managerial career down the drain.

Jeez, my post wasn't really meant to be an criticism of him in any way. It was more pointing out that its a sign of where we are that we desperate for a 15 year old to be involved.

Anyone expecting him to come on and provide miracles is desperate. The whole call for him to play is just desperation in my opinion. I hope he can remain a positive player in this environment.

Even shit teams try and make it difficult. These players think they are good enough, that's the hilarious part.

I think the worse part is how quickly it was over

Come on gives us some credit for keeping it down to 3

Don't know if Ruud little lip movements are worse than Rodgers little clap. Never seen him shout anything.

So ruud just put Monga in to appease people really hasn't he.

Nothing wrong with that, he got kicked, it's part of football. Get on with it.

Just got in the pub after 7 a side and can't help but smile Has jacob Murphy ever scored against any body else?

We'll be shit regardless but how can you not even attempt something else. Beyond comprehension.

Never a penalty.

I think it was De Bruyne who was planting the seed about being willing to take the Saudi money a year or so ago. Can't decide if he's been appreciated enough, a bit of a throwback but also quite modern at the same time. I think some people will forgot about him when listing best Premier League players in 10/15 years time. Quality player though and definitely one of my favourites in recent time, from a neutral point of view.

Enzo wouldn't have signed Ayew and Reid, that's for sure Although Reid was quite an early signing if I'm remembering right so maybe he was on the radar. Probably pushed Enzo to leave I think we'd have started well under Enzo but been found out as the season progressed and probably still went down.

Has to be. Surely even our 'loyal' hierarchy can't see anything remotely positive about his time here.

Good to see we are trying something different....

Ayew has been 'better' than Reid this season but I'd definitely prefer to keep Bobby in the Championship. Ayew would sulk around the place but I feel Reid would at-least put some effort in at the lower level. And could be a useful squad player.

We are that shit I'm still expecting Haaland to score and he's out for 7 weeks
