      Only we could have thrown that match away after being 3 up.

      All stemmed from Anthony cutting inside and going for a shot rather than playing Dalot in in the overlap. Crap shot and they go up the other end and score.

        It makes no difference, you clearly shouldnโ€™t be allowed to pay referees and then have those referees officiate your matches.

        Fuck me, the blue nose twats complain that a ref from Manchester officiate Man Utd matches and then they go and pay PL refs to ref abroad and have no issue with them officiating their matches.

        Mind you, we have a league where you can bypass the financial rules by selling a hotel or two to yourself, so nothing should come as a surprise.

          Really shouldnโ€™t be allowed, CM, but common sense and football is not always hand in hand.

            Should have scored a hat-full.

              Missed the first half, just seen the goal; reminds me of how Utd have been defending, no pressure on the ball.

                Iโ€™d take half the strikers in the league Ed!

                  Yeah, they should be able to Sean. Whatever they do they are not great at though unless they sit deep and counter.

                    AWB is a great RB but canโ€™t play on the left as he offers no threat going forward. You could see him making runs and the midfield would just turn inside and pass to someone else as they didnโ€™t trust his left foot.

                    I also think he will struggle in those tactics on the right as ETH likes the fullbacks to play in central midfield at times, and he just hasnโ€™t got the technique to do so.

                      I think we are going for a backup striker rather than a ยฃ100m player. Isak would be the transfer budget blown and the Hojlund wouldnโ€™t play, so money wasted there rather than seeing what he can do in a team that passes him the ball.

                        I think one of the issues he has it that there is no pace in the CBโ€™s when maguire plays. So he canโ€™t play a high line, which would reduce the space in midfield.

                        He likes a high press, with numbers, that plus the low defensive line means there is acres of space in midfield for teams to exploit.

                        I hope he gets a CB with pace in the summer, then he and Martinez can play a higher line.

                        Add in a LB with a left foot and things will be much better.

                        He also needs to get rid of a massive amount of deadwood, players who dont want to be there, players who are not good enough and bring in proper competition for places.

                        Rashford and Garnacho play for themselves and not the striker. It needs to end.

                          Sean, if they tried a bit more they would be ok, they just donโ€™t seem to want to play, no urgency, no spirit today and no effort in tracking back.

                          You canโ€™t defend that deep, with an attacking line that high and not put the effort in.

                            Diabolical defending, itโ€™s like they have not played together before.

                              So we decided not to turn up. Whoโ€™d have thought.

                              And Rashford playing for himself.

                              Though not happy that Bournemouth have flooded our half of the pitch with the sprinklers so much that you canโ€™t play the ball on the floor.

                                Given the results today, expect us not to turn up and get beat.

                                  The handball could well have been given, I seem to recall the commentators telling us there is a much lower threshold in Europe when Eriksen accidentally touched the ball with a fingertip over in Munich at the start of the tournament.

                                  Apparently the ref admitted he made a mistake in not awarding it, but Tuchel might have made that up.

                                    You donโ€™t think Neuer was stupid in sticking his leg out, Mav? That does surprise me!

                                      Nil, you, of all people, should know not to look at things in slow motion!!!!

                                      I know it’s just football, and I know we all do the same, but the flip flop since Sunday has to be seen to be believed.

                                        Saka denied a penalty as he initiated the contact, mmm, surprised the ref didn’t go with the ‘Neuer was stupid’ law.

                                          Everton have been deducted another 2 points for a further breach of the PL financial rules.

                                            Whatever speed you play the clip at Nil Elliot makes no attempt to land his right foot in a natural position, he keeps it back and initiates the contact with AWB. The speed of the pictures makes no difference and cannot change the simple fact that he makes no attempt to land his foot. He was going down before the contact at whatever speed you wish to view the film.

                                            We’d all defend our players in the same situation, so I get why you are, but simple facts aren’t changed by the speed of the footage.
