Great goal Willock!

[OTF 7214]

Nice cross BDB and quality header that. Time to bring Joey Barton on?

[Kid Dynamite 6961]

Let's get another one 

[PaddockLad 16991]

84 MINS: BURN, ASSIST 

 

[Dr Gloom 21759]

Best goal of the night that. We’ve missed Willock’s runs into the box 

 

Dan Burn on the overlap

It ultimately depends whether Howe tries to use this result to reinstate Burn or whether he gives Livramento a proper run.

 

We've missed Burn's presence on set pieces, but whether we lose 2-0 or 4-0 it ulitmately doesn't matter. Burn categorically would not have changed the outcome and Livramento has been no worse than anyone else out there and has not been exposed for pace.

 

You're making it sound like some Machievellan plot from Howe here. Howe will play the players he think will win and not be arsed what anyone else thinks. 

[Chaser 1199]

Fuck me if only BDB had been playing from the start, we would have won 5-4

[Kid Dynamite 6961]

Karius much quicker off his line than Dubravka. He's had a good game 

[Renton 21042]

BDB brilliant save! 

[Renton 21042]

Was all a ploy by Howe to get BDB motivated again.

I am glad to be wrong on my previous assessment of him. 

 

I would be happier to see him keep his place and see how he gets on when we are not being pegged back. 

 

I feel no loyalty to Dubs. He has been great but it isn't working with him.

I don't think that's entirely correct from what we have seen of Howe, he does care what others think but will never ever ever show any obvious signs of it. That's core to his public identity. Behind closed doors/in his head that will not be the case. He doesn't like to do what everyone is expecting, the obvious decision, he wants to do everything in his own way. It's also why he reveals so little in press conferences. Most of the time that has worked out well, not rushing new signings into the team etc, but sometimes there's an underlying stubbornness that can be damaging. I do like it about him, but in the Burn scenario he took the "I know better" way too far.

BDB Man of the match …Livramemto is shit

After getting murdlerised on the break again unfortunately. 
 

Today has shown we do lose elements of our game when he doesn't play, but on balance I prefer Tino there

He's been the one silver lining from this flogging. Deserves to have a run in the side.

It will take some time to adjust to not having an extra giant CB in our set pieces, but you have to play the best team for football rather than the best team for set pieces.

[Kid Dynamite 6961]

Blown away in the first half. Even contest in the second half, bar a Saka wonder goal and a poor goal to concede from a corner. 
 

No shame in losing to Arsenal away, but our defence is all over the shop these days. Botman and Shar look like different players

No proper protection.  It’s a team thing.

Its swings and roundabouts. He might shore up the defence at corners, but he's almost guaranteed to concede a goal on the break once every game in recent weeks

AI can make your dream come true.  It's tits oot in anything you want these days.

[aimaad22 4082]

We've not learnt anything new today. Except that Karius should definitely be starting over Dubravka. 

 

The team's got limitations and they will have to be addressed if we are to progress next season.
