Can't really fault the performance, despite the score line. We were well in that for most of the game but they took their first two chances and we couldn't score from ours.

Probably the best team in Europe right now and we did well to match them for so long.

A bit harsh on him, he's had the armband and wouldn't deserve to be dropped but the others have just been better.

Saying that, not sure how we fit all of Diarra, Le Fee, Sadiki and Xhaka into one midfield without shoehorning one onto the wing.

Burnley have literally nothing at all, I'm surprised they have as many points as they do.

Xhaka in for Hume and we're flying, even though Trai was good today.

Absolute walk in the park that, barely had to get out of second gear and I'm sure we could have scored a few more if we had to.

Puts to bed the talk about we are nothing about Xhaka, that midfield looked quality.

Fulham, Man Utd and Burnley too, just not getting the balance right away from home. Imagine the position we'd be in if we didn't keep shitting the bed away from home.

Depends what we do in the market but definitely a back 5 versus those two.

Got to sign a midfielder who is capable of starting if he doesn't trust Geertruida or Rigg and with Neil being off. Unbelievably lightweight with just Sadiki and Le Fee, while expecting Le Fee to be the creative outlet too.

24.01.2026 15:51 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That's been a feature of all of our away defeats, not showing the opposition enough respect. Which is weird considering we do the complete opposite at home.

Didn't that that was about missing Xhaka but missing a replacement, with Neil and Rigg seemingly not options in the middle, it was odd to see Geertruida not get a game. Sadiki ended up overrun in midfield and with some sloppy first half performers, it left us too much to do.

Shame we never made that more comfortable, had the chances but that's still a great 3 points. Fully deserved to win the game and we looked comfortable for the vast majority of the match. #SAFC

Thought we actually played well today, maybe sat back a little too much at times in the second half but they'd have never scored without the referee giving them a hand.

Class come back by Enzo and what a guy Roefs is!

That looked one game too many for us, some really tired legs out there but considering that and the fact we were losing, that was horrific by Enzo. Once that happened we were completely done.

Don't want to be too harsh on him as he's been quality but that really cost us.

Considering our effort against City, to get through that leggy first half and come away with a point and could maybe have got all three, that is a fantastic turnaround and performance from everyone.

The team just don't know when they're beaten.

Brilliant effort from everyone today, what a shift. Had enough chances to get all three points but I'm happy enough with a point.

Being unlucky not to get all 3 points despite missing the AFCON lads and Ballard, what a squad we have.
