I’d also start Gnonto in the Aarsonson role - he’s had his purple patch and is back to being the Aarsonson we know so worth resting and let Willy have a proper run out.

He’s not brave enough to go on the attack!

Even more fucked off about last nights debacle from Farke. Whilst we are working on averages, those below us are trying to win games and get three points. Time to grow some balls Daniel, starting at Palace.

On the use of towels. Can we be a bit smarter and just put them around the half we are attacking? There is no specific rule so not sure why we leave them out for opposition to use in our half?

Didn’t even need to be an attacker, just someone who would help drive us forward. Longstaff or Tanaka would have been ideal.

On a side note. Can we just start Bijol now? No other PL club plays a fullback at CB once the CB is back available again. It’s no coincidence that we’ve not looked a threat at set pieces without him. Important player.

Then don't start with 3 full backs, 2 centre halves and 2 defensive midfielders. Isn't that obvious?

Just watched O'Nien's high rugby tackle on Struijk in the area. Penalty, yellow card and sent to review in rugby union. This is what VAR is there for. What are they looking at?

As Sean Connery says in the Rock β€œlosers always whine about their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen”

Deluded. Did we actually try and score before the 81st minute? It wasn’t until James and Willy came on that we looked like doing anything. Too little too late and on you Daniel.

Yep, he should have had three red cards in that game!

Absolutely fuming that we picked the same formation and team against Sunderland at home as we did Villa away and Man City. If I see Gruev against Burnley at home I will scream.

It traumatised me. Was on holiday in Tenerife, thinking we’d finish top two and we put in an awful performance in one of the worst games ever. Could have played 3 times and not scored!

Remember this? Same coaches!

Three games running unchanged? It’s all quite predictable. Tonight was the game for 442 or 433 surprise them, try and win. We were playing a championship team not AV or Man City!

So as good as Farke has been getting us to grind out results, he still can’t work out how to beat a team that has no intention of playing football. Anti-football is his kryptonite.

Got what we deserved playing so negative.

Ref has fallen for this hook line and sinker. Everyone knows what they are like and he’s gone with it.

Taking Gudmundsson off is mental.

What a shambles. Of all the players you don’t expect to make a stupid decision

Feels very familiar. Like we could play them for 190 mins and still not look like scoring. Need to change approach asap.

Can we treat this game like a home game and try and win it, perhaps attack and be brave? This has been turgid. Do we need Gruev on the pitch? What is Aarsonson adding? Can we get someone on to help DCL?

How is that not a penalty on Struijk?

May as well send Facundo Buonanotte back to Brighton. If he can’t get on the bench against a team who are difficult to breakdown and you might need something different he has no chance of making an impact.

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the β€œspecial relationship” is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

FA wants to trial β€˜coach’s challenge’ to reduce VAR interruptions Governing body in favour of testing similar system used in rugby league and NFL in which onus would be put on coach to ask for review of contentious calls

Been saying this would improve the system dramatically- but then you still bring it back to subjectivity with the handball rule as it currently stands (Aarsonson v Newcastle = Hands, Man City v Lees = Natural position).

He was holding the card up before Farke got near him so makes sense to appeal it!
