I think when you look at the squad + the injuries this kind of performance is just inevitable with the extra matches. As frustrating as it is we’re just being found out and the manager is limited in how much he can influence that.

Really flat poor performance by our lot today

 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

Aye I don’t understand not making subs. 
 

The thinness of our squad does come down to our sometimes odd recruitment, we’ve bought 5 full backs, and 2 left wingers despite other areas of the pitch screaming out for players.

I agree but if we’re going to be ultra critical I think Howe could utilise his bench more. The lads on the pitch have played a lot of football. A lot of them look knackered If he doesn’t trust the likes of Lewis Hall or Livramento it begs the question - why did we sign them in the first place? We couldn have even put Targett on to offer some width down the left. Burn looks shagged

Yeah. I agree and said earlier I can’t understand not putting those Hall and Livramento on with about 30 to go. It was 2-1 then as well. I guess Howe doesn’t want to disrupt things too much in defence at the point. But we’re going to have to utilise what we’ve got with the CL games.

Decent away point. Disappointing not to take all three and to throw away a lead twice with the difficult run of fixtures coming up. Would have been all three if not for Pope’s ridiculous decision to punch when he could have caught. 

 

Howe had one of his worst games for a while. Surely you make more subs given the amount of games they’ve played recently. I guess he’s putting out the kids and reserves against Man U on Wednesday

We can be happy with this point even though leading two times. Those are no mugs and will probably see this rather as two points lost.

 

For us it’s probably a mental thing with our run of games and players being out injured. Most of our players know that they are almost guaranteed to play so probably trying to save some energy. A lot of our players looked well off their best. Joelinton, Schär and Bruno being the exception.

 

As much as Howe is doing an excellent job I do not understand his reluctance to make substitutions or give players like Livramento and Hall a game.

Howay. There was nowt he could do. Maybe livramento and Hall, but doubt they would have won us it. And infact there was only one team winning that after Neto was injured anyway. 

 

We haven't got enough depth. That is why we are winning fuck all, as per.

 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.

It could be argued we’ve spent too much on marquee signings and not enough on the squad.  Easily said once injuries and gambling suspensions mount up, I guess.

Decent point all things considered but we’re drifting way off the pace now at the top of the table.

 

I wouldn’t mind seeing Bruno have a great game for us soon…

 

No idea why Livramento didn’t get half an hour today…

 

If Wilson gets injured we’re fucked
