What’s it called? Cumbernauld
Was running the show and the sort of player we crave. Him going off changed the game.

He only looked as good as he did because we let him do what he liked and didn’t get within 10 yards if he was as gd as he was we’d have been dead n buried at half time. And as soon as we started to close him down he went off tells you all you need to know

It isn't just about today. He has always looked good when we have come up against him. A good player. Better than any of our CM

This. Whether he had time or not, he controlled the game for 45 minutes. Got the ball deep and made the right decisions.

Utter bilbo baggins. His impact on the game was negligible, despite our utterly RANCID first half performance. If he was actually any good then he'd have run the show from start to finish, being as our bewildering ragtag 1st half formation was getting utterly FVCKED until Trollope eventually thumped CH on the side of his head and the cavalry arrived in the second half.

Shelvy was bang average. Thats why he's still at Newcastle.

Seemed like every one of his passes went to Newcastle players in good positions. We have no one with that ability.

We might do, but if so, he stopped playing for CH about 3 months ago.

Made a couple of decent passes, with the 20 yards of space we gave him in the first half.

Lethargic, lazy, petulant when pressed and not going their way.

Are you describing Knocky?

Shelvey? Didn't notice him at all. Presumed he was taken off for lack of involvement. Certainly wouldn't want him in our midfield. Now Atsu. Bloomin' glad when he went off.

Suggest you watch the game again. First half excellent, second we played higher.

Trollope? IMO is part of the problem.

And why Liverpool got rid of him.

Stephens?

For a couple of seasons people have been stroking his balls - his lack of pace & pondering on the ball & inability to make an attacking pass is finally being realised

What about the attacking cross field pass to Bruno that led to our goal?
