Hinsh will get a head bandage for bleeding at some point. Solly March will equalise late on. That sort of game.

I'm quite confident in this being a battling draw, where we show mettle more than quality at points.

Yup - I was in support of VAR when it was introduced, on THIS basis. It's not used for this at all - very frustrating. It should be referee's call for the majority of decisions, only overturned for howlers. I do wonder if it's partly that they spent so much money on all this tech, the team sat...

It's a whole combination of errors isn't it. Can't fully blame any one player in my opinion. Set pieces were pretty shite all evening as well...

#holdthenerve Even a battling draw v Palace would be ok, with the fixtures we have after. Just don't lose.

Liam Dickinson? He wouldn't really head the ball, it would just hit him on the top of his head. Bless im.

I appreciate this is the opposite of the point of this thread, but the streets will never forget Abdul Razak vs Ipswich. I was CERTAIN he'd win the Ballon D'Or within 5 years (well, be nominated anyway...). He looked PHENOMENAL.

Yeah that was very frustrating - it feels inevitable now that we are very very rarely if ever going to see our first choice 11 very often, or even that close to.

Felt for the guy - really tough debut. Hope he's given time to prove that first impression to be false. Lack of pace was a concern though, and didn't look massively comfortable on the ball.

Yeah nervous about tonight - would be regardless of our starting 11. This is subject to change but right now I’d take a point.

Thanks and yep, got 3 earlier today.

Given what De Zerbi is like, it's not controversial to suggest one way or another he'll probably be gone from the job soon. I can VERY much imagine him ending up somewhere like Fenerbahce.

Feels like a paradox, because to my eyes he is ALSO capable of being really shit at diving at times/goes down incredibly easily...

I remember it being mentioned from the outset, yes. Did wonder if he'd want to stay on if he was getting the sense of a higher level of power being in Gov though. (Unelected foreigner of course, lest we forget...). I'm sure his money will continue to buy a significant level of influence/leverage.

Rutter out might force that, I suppose. Just doesn't leave us much on the bench, when it feels like a clear tactic from Hurzeler this season has been to use strong players from the bench in final 30 mins of games.

I assume we started with Welbeck on the basis of easing Pedro back in after a long journey, and that against Villa Pedro will start with Welbeck on for the last 25 mins - I always like Danny W coming on late, dunno why, always feels like a big boost.

You can still watch him off the field at least, I guess.

If only there was some way we could've seen this coming.

Feels a bit cheeky that it seems it's being acknowledged the high ticket price is due to the DJ (whoever they may be, could be like The Masked Singer), yet they can't say who it is. No one can complain if it is DJ Locadia, as there is no mis-selling.

The biggest issue I have is with the Toon fans who had an issue with Mike Ashley from a MORAL standpoint. They have absolutely no grounds to then support the Saudis.
