A lot of the goodwill he has is based off Euro 2020 in which he was brilliant but has he performed consistently at club level? I'm more disappointed about missing out on Mamardashvili for 30M when all our targets seem to be goalkeepers.

Some of it was tactical tbh, like Kelly for Hall must have been to counter Semenyo's physicality and Hall is just a bit iffy defensively still. Tripper has obvious issues plus might not be fully fit. Willock definitely didn't seem match fit. Not that the rest of them looked much better, Joe and Gordon miles off it too. You've just got to hope these games have helped with match fitness etc because take the intensity factor out of this current squad and we will struggle to get into Europe.

I hope we get to see Hall start again and play with more maturity, I thought the lapses might have been knocked out of him by now and that's why he started the opening game. But he was really poor defensively at times. We look so much more fluid at the back when he plays though, especially when Burn and Krafth are playing and average defensive forward ball playing capacity is about 3 metres.

We're probably reading too much into that sort of thing at this stage tbf because of the little bit of agitation that the club is in at the moment. A signing or two could quickly fix that. Start Barnes and Gordon imo, Gordon on the right is far better than Murphy or Almiron. A decent performance is all he'll need to get going, let's not forget how good he was last season.

This was the absolute overriding feeling watching the game yesterday. We could blame fatigue and luck last season, but it's also very clear we have some bang average players that Eddie managed to get the best out of for nearly 3 years that just cant move up another level now. I don't think we have until next summer tbh, we need to get at least the CB/RW required in this week or this project takes a big step backwards considering we'll have failed to address obvious weaknesses whilst selling two of our best young players. PSR or not, that's not a team looking to go places.

Very lucky to come off with a point and 10 men there. Another worrying performance. Joelinton with arguably his worst performance for us

Joe? Ridiculous that. What's wrong with him tonight?

That was shite from Burn. We have noone to blame. Deserved that

Ffs. We have 17 corners and can't do shit.

Joelinton needs booting What's he on today

Couple of lucky escapes there.

Yessss. Barnes get in great cross

A bit of life at last, close there

Standard away performance from last season. It wasn't just fatigue

We are utterly tragic here but Eddie won't change a thing. Just don't get it sometimes

Longstaff in a great position there and decides to go down. Sheeeeesh

He won't do it but Barnes and Willock should be on here. If there's a time to shake things up...

Wow that was turgid

Murphy and Longstaff combining brilliantly there laborious half arsed stuff this.

Can't string 3 passes together. Let's wait till 28 August to sign someone though

Playing in slow motion almost. Half asleep

Murphy

Everyone barring Isak has been utter dogshite

Fuck off Joelinton. Rubbish the whole game and then does that. Just rubbish

Rubbish Longstaff. Needless there that
