Taking my daughter to her first game, it’s been a slow & convincing process to get to this point 😂
Stadium tour over Xmas ‘24 got the ball well and truly moving!

Fuming.
They didn’t even give me a chance to collect my crack pipe before they bolted the door 😡

This is why I don’t like these types of interviews with the club hierarchy, just like when Kinnear used to do similar, they say a lot without actually saying anything of substance. Pointless really.

“Are we scared of nipples?” @grahamsmyth.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

I’m in agreement, it needed to happen but he hasn’t ever done it before and I doubt he’s going to start now…

It’s frustrating, but it’s just not his style (if that’s the right word?!) to change things up early. We showed them too much respect with our starting 11, and failed to turn control into proper chances

Yes, there’s a couple of things for me:
1) Don’t think we have the players to unlock a team that sets up in this way, and
2) Frustratingly our manager was never going to switch things up early enough.

Won’t define our season, but an opportunity missed.

I agree with so much of this that it makes me sad

We certainly looked lacking in terms of ideas, changes needed earlier but truth be told, we don’t have too many options and the more attack minded players have played very little football

I’m hoping we see the lesser spotted Sam Byram…

I think it’ll more than likely be a bit of fatigue, I agree he hasn’t had a great week and he really sets the tone for the rest of the team too (in a positive sense)

100% the opposition tactics didn’t help, but we also played into their hands with our set up and lack of urgency to change things.
I wanted us to take that game by the scruff of the neck but we just looked a bit timid and lacklustre

Yes, more of a wake up call (or reminder) to Farke that we still need to mix things up and keep the opposition guessing. We made it a little too easy for them last night and drifted into knocking it around at the back which we’ve all seen before..

We’ll be alright. Last night was probably the only stinker we’ve thrown in this season but the opposition didn’t help with their awful anti-football approach. Might just be the wake up call we need going into the final straight #LUFC

Far too conservative

Definitely our most frustrating performance this season. No spark until far too late.

Fuming about that performance. Nowhere near good enough #LUFC

We’ve not been anywhere near good enough tonight. Far too passive. Very disappointing #LUFC

Ampadu hasn’t had a great week so far #LUFC

Maybe they’re reviewing it at half time so that someone can get ahead with drafting the apology letter

Fair play to TNT for finding any ‘highlights’ from that #LUFC

Sunderland’s press on our CB’s is proving very effective for them

Well, that was erm…. Dull #LUFC

Any of the books a good read 😉

Crikey. It was less than a minute to drink some water…

Yes I don’t disagree.
I watched on TV and I was as unsure what was going on until they showed the screen.
Just goes to show the herd mentality that exists and how people feel empowered when surrounded by their own…

You’re right.
I think there is as an element of reaction to Pep’s impromptu sideline team talk in the away tie, fans in the ground assuming this was the same?

There’s no danger of getting a balanced viewpoint from MOTD, we were playing a ‘top’ team….

Also, we should come out of this round of games feeling frustrated but also full of belief.
West Ham should come out of it with little confidence and worrying where the points are coming from.

We’ve largely been in it, put as soon as City look to turn it up a notch you can see what’s coming…
