Are you the club physio? If so, it's all making sense now.

Nice distribution from Gordon again.

Showed some toe too, nicely weighted pass from Gordon also.

Fucking lovely counter attack! Delicious

Dangerous ball from Murphy

Neto seeing our LB selection:

Crucial result for our confidence that. Fitting that a GK decided it. Dubravka stand proud, easily MOTM.

Anderson coming on for Miley. Howe must want to see what Longstaff does with his penalty.

Dubravka again

Bloody hell

Let's see if that elbow to the head can wake up Longstaff

He's on the bench, surely worth bringing him on?

Ainsley Pears, sounds like the name of a D grade 'celebrity' chef. Bastard.

Better corner

Gordon and Longstaff both shot directly at the keeper.

How did we not score there

Doubt it. It's like he's moving in slow motion.

Our best player on the pitch by a mile and still having shade thrown at him. 🤷‍♂️

30 minutes more of this gripping dramatic tense turgid rubbish. At this point the most important thing is not suffering any injuries.

Dubravka answering his critics.

It was Murphy and yes the only way Longstaff was gettng to that first is if the two defenders tripped over each other.

We are looking very ordinary.

The wrong side of 40 around here is being under it. #weold

This is why the training facilities and scouting networks have been the first focus.

Of course he didn't fit the mould, never said he did. ASM had his best game for us under Howe (3-3 against Man City with effectively three assists and terrorised their defense). Howe was working with him and ASM was changing the way he played to try to be a more effective distributor. He'd start on the bench but would see plenty of game time when fit. If FFP wasn't in play Howe would have kept him and comtinued to work on his deficiencies. He's only 26 years old, so potentially had his best footballing years ahead of him.
