Wow!

Agreed. It’s understandable, but hardly like 2 years ago when a win would very likely have handed us the title… ages left of the season this year + they can have a direct impact in a few weeks!

😢😢😢

That’s the issue atm, attack hasn’t really been firing all season but the defence was keeping us ticking over before but now we’re conceding loads and still not creating / finishing well enough

Goal and 2 assists in 35 mins, welcome back to our Lord & Saviour ♥️

Didn’t fancy the mad dash from Arsenal vs ASFAR?!

This is great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We’re very fortunate at FIFA to have access to detailed phases of play that are calculated using the tracking we have and I can’t tell you how much value it adds to our analysis so great to see others tackling this too!

Oh Kai, stop it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Quite right too!

100%, it’s the only time this season we’ve looked like a coherent attacking team consistently

Think our last 3 results have probably proved that right tbh. Crumbling under very little pressure atm

League form in the absolute toilet but at least we got those 3 points against Inter eh

🔰OTBC!

How many teams 10-20 years could spend (the equivalent of) £50-60m on a single player, whereas now the bottom half of the table is littered with these kinds of talents. The richness of the PL is utterly insane

Horrendous, we can’t keep giving City lifelines when they mess up 🤬

Balham I think, as that looks like Tooting Common to the right

I also read the gossip column every single day without fail 😂 I’ve no idea why, other than a vague feeling that I should keep up to date with potential moves for my job 🤷🏻‍♂️

There we go, appears the Ref concurred though tough to hear the whole reasoning

Wouldn’t say Haaland is interfering with Pope but he definitely was holding the defender back!

Antoine Semenyo 🚮

Why on earth is Villa v Spuds on TWO TV channels before it’s even started, yet Newcastle v Bournemouth isn’t on any?!

That it made Gakpo’s dimwitted celebration look even more brainless is just
