Hahaha. Lovely. 3 nil. It's so one sided it's not even funny. Well no it is actually

He's had his best player Fernandes playing out of position the whole season. They're getting completely played off the park again. Lovely to watch.

Oof they've finally scored a glorious second. Haaland should have had one near the end of the first half too.

I agree with this view in general but as far as yesterday goes I thought he was one of our better players, partly because no one else did anything special. We honestly just need to put out the reserves midweek and see what happens. The players need a rest, it's painfully obvious. I know everyone wants to win a cup but it might not be this season or this league cup anyway, can't risk any more injuries and throwing away the decent position in the league we've managed to get into.

Aye no one is saying we should be managers instead of Howe If we've gotten Hall is a long term LB then its games like the one today he could have gotten a few minutes in. Burn does very well in patches and he's a behemoth in the air of course. But he also gets caught out with players running in behind him very often, Schar had to come in with last ditch tackles on half a dozen occasions today. He's also can't attack nearly as well as a modern full back. I know Burn and Miggy will start many games this season they've done very well and they deserve to. But anyone who watches us play regularly knows those are the places we need to upgrade if we're going to hold down a CL spot or look to win trophies. Yeah the options are so limited right now or I suspect he might have rotated like he did against City. Tino and Hall might start I suspect. Perhaps Targett too. What will be really interesting is who starts up top. Will he risk Wilson? And Gordon looked tired today, might be asking a bit much of him to play up top alone in a game we likely wont have much possession in.

Its been obvious many times already this season that Burn is a weak link. Either Hall just isn't upto the fitness levels yet or Eddie wants him to play another position.

Need to have conversations about just when and if Hall can step up for Burn, and if we got him for that position at all?

Probably. Bruno had a good game but it's frustrating how often he gives the ball away thinking he can protect and it leads to a dangerous counter. Twice today again, at least.

And that's that. Strange day and performance but a good point under the circumstances.

Ffs Bruno man does thing again where he thinks he can protect the ball and just gives it away leading to a counter.

Not the time to have your petulant match costing moment here Bruno

I'll happily take a point all things considered. Playing with a bit of a depleted squad here and seemingly can't use two 70M players sat on the bench

We had 3 players go in fully committed with tired challenges. It was poor.

Schar has been our best defensive and offensive player today.

Pope was poor there but you can't put that goal just on him. The defending afterwards was very poor and tired.

What I said was before the injury. We still don't seem to have energy up front though

Well Neto going off here might have been the only thing that could save us here

Don't see us hanging on here. Tripper and burn have been utterly shite. Pope as well. No energy anywhere else

Shit from Pope again. Started it all off and then just blind challenges going in around the box.

There you go. What rubbish defending. Just throwing in challenges blindly ffs. So poor

It's getting stranger by the day how little time they're getting. Looks like we're playing this season with the same squad as last time around.

Both I'd say. Ran City ragged the other day too.

We're clearly and understandably lacking energy. Will do really well to hold on here.

Can we get Tino on please?

Schar coming to the rescue again.
