That Xavi Simons lad always looks like he's 5 seconds away from crying

Probably Ngolo's final game in England is beating Notts Forest at City ground but going out of a competition.

Whoever is in control of the camera feed is awful too. Watching the backs of random players and replays while the game is running.

Awful awful set pieces today

Boro comms cackling about getting away with no yellow card there. No idea what our corner routine was about a minute ago.

Now now lads. He did just take a quite large whack to the head a few minutes before. Not that he isnt fully capable of that normally but he did look woozy covering the space after the error.

Quality. It's kinda like when we used to drop players down into the Champ with Barnes & KDH who fairly quickly raised the level.

Nelson saw that error coming, pointing straight back for Okoli to pass it to the keeper. 10 seconds later it's a goal, cut us up on the right side, cut-back goal..... like they tried most of the first half. Frustrating, thought we moved the ball well at times and looked alright. Simple mistake again. Mukasa is class. Him in the team raises confidence in as a whole.

When is Lascelles fit again?

Mukasa is quality. That's never a foul by Ricardo btw, ever.

Win ball back, give it away, intense pressure, through ball into the channel, cut back, saved/cut out, regain ball, give it away, repeat process...

To me, it sounds similar to the Romero red card against Man U a couple of weeks ago. Full intent to go for the ball, late, excess force sees him off. Romero was also then lambasted in the media, a reputation which proceeds him. Casually flicking through YouTube shorts last week, a clip of Ronaldo came up from the official Premier League account titled "Carnage! Cristiano Ronaldo clattering in.", from a time where out of frustration, CR7 would routinely kick at floored players, and in this aforementioned videos case, ran into a loose 50/50 ball, absolutely steaming in with rage and flung his leg in the general direction of the ball with absurd force... but don't worry this was all fun and games apparently. Just like the various videos from official football accounts from SkySports and the Premier League which show clips of times when Roy Keane would be sent off, jovial comments in the chat "our Roy", "legend", then videos of him watching these clips laughing about the times he maimed fellow professionals and now it's all seen as relatable friendly characters in the media... Carragher hocking up greenies to gob at kids on the motorway. I've randomly gone on abit of a rant here. Anyway yeah, see it often. Players earn reputations, like Choudhury did against Liverpool for daring to tackle Salah with vigor, yet Tyler Morton suffered no ill press for snapping someone's leg. Felt Romero got it a little harsh the other week was my original point

A foul because "he put a hand on his head". Why do we have to put up with so much of Gary Neville and why is he so popular? The man talks absolute shite

There's definitely a touch from Cisse, off his head top

Watching the highlights back then, are we sure that's not offside? Cisse seems to flick it back to Wilmot...

Why couldn't they sort that out at half time? Wastes 5 minutes of 60,000 people's time in the stadium. 5000hrs of collective human life wasted because they CBA to sort their equipment out.

Looked really upset to be going off injured. Seems to be out of action ¾ of the time, comes back and straight injured again. Tough couple of seasons for him.

So many away League games against Stoke(and Brighton), usually always ended up 2-2. We had opportunities at the end, Okoli having his shirt pulled so firmly you couldn't see a number on his back. It's frustrating. The improvement after the 1st half is a big positive, a good reaction to the new managers HT. Hope that spirit continues into the next games and onwards. Get out of this mess asap.

Goes straight through Schmeichel. Hope we still have a decent payday lined up for Bilal.

Flap and a deflection. Deserved

Ref & lino completely ****ing that up, Digne yard + into the box. No reason you can't have VAR in Prem vs. Prem in Cuppo.

Out of all the players we were linked with in our Premier years, I wouldn't even consider Abraham the best striker from Villa now. Prem is littered in so many what-ifs, the most frustrating ones are the players we already had; Barnes, Lookman, Bassey(Ughelumba). We were in such a strong position.

Nice one Patson

Thomas all over the shop there
