Stand by for Steve Bruce trying to make a joke about how football is a funny game and how we've provided plenty of entertainment.

How many clear chances can we blow!? Murphy oh dear

Not yet.

How shit are we, losing to this lot

If ASM had that again he'd take it after his first or second touch. We should be a couple up here.

That challenge from Cleverly was much worse than the challenge that earned Manquillo a yellow.

Great picking of the pocket by Hayden on Sissoko. This is an odd game, but we're certainly up for it so far.

Lovely goal from prolonhed pressure. Well hit Longstaff.

It's all happening here, not really a surprise when one of their players clearly deliberately elbowed Almiron in the face.

Soft as fuck Danny Rose

Liking seeing the argy bargy in the box

That cross from Manquillo

Dodgy as fuck that, lead with the elbow.

Bruce: "It's something like when you played school" A manager positively talking about his premier league side, 2021. FFS.

Just out there playing with very little structure or attacking cohesion.

The result we were expecting, but not quite the game. Almiron MOTM for us by a long way, shame we're a way off having an experienced keeper back out there.

Behind so take off our goalscorer and substitute two defenders and a non entity. Dwight Gayle must be loving it

Lazy defending there.

Straight at the keeper unfortunately, and yet that still makes his highlight reel from his time here.....

Feels bad to say it but if we had Dubrakva or even Darlow in goals I don't think they score either of those.

Ahh well

Beauty of a goal that! Well played Miggy, ASM and especially Manquillo

Got to say that Almiron has been everywhere, excellent so far.

Pretty shoddy from Woodman, even allowing for the deflection.

Ouch
