If they are not match-fit, why is Farke flogging them?

I'm sorry, but that's not quite true is it!

Sky position their crowd mics near the away fans at every game. My friend at the game says were very loud. Il take his word over the broadcast videos 

[Spillay 180]

We look no different than 2 years ago, lots of pretty passing patterns but how many saves has Alisson made, one? Defence has a cockup in them and u worry everytime the ball is back there. Liverpool have been in 3rd gear mostly, they've not needed to be anything better.

[City 101 85]

A Pukki upgrade should have been the first buy of the summer .

[Tumbleweed 106]

Sounds pretty quiet on Sky, I guess it depends on the mics and settings. We stilll seem plucky but naive.......

That's exactly why - Pochettino has a similar approach.

[Upo 91]

This is not a bad performance. Need more fitness. New guys haven't settled in.

Defence needs reinforcing. Webber needs to pony up for a serious CB.

Just blow the whistle for full time already please

Oh, b-o-l-l-ocks!

[Kanadyan Kanary 122]

Thanx for giving that corner away Gibson because we are so good at defending set pieces.

[Tetteys Jig 830]

nobody on the edge of the box there... its pure naevity and not good enough. Sorry to be harsh but if we're gonna make a go of it in this league we need to step up and stop giving such easy goals

[Samwam27 532]

Might take a few games to get the right formation. Defence neeeds to stay tight, but we've got to find goals. Hopefully Rashica, Todd & Tzoslsis soon.

Cmon, we're 2-0 down, 65mins gone. Make some subs, change it up a bit. Lets see Tzlosis and Sargeant. Nothing to lose by changing up front.

What's thoughts on Rupp, PLM & Gilmour?

 

Agreed with the changes. 

Rupp: done OK but not enough for me 

PLM: overall class, good physical presence, good defensive positioning and some class going forward

Gilmour: classy touches in keeping the ball moving 

 

Good job I captained Salah in my fantasy team 😅

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297]

Eughh.. this is ugly. 

Hate football again. Que all the national media criticism and laughing from rival fans. 

[K Lo 233]

Doesn't look as though we're getting 3 points today.
Still, there's always next Saturday.

[Samwam27 532]

oh FFS

[Fuzzar 1,705]

Well, we weren't expecting to get anything out of this game and we haven't disappointed. 

[Dr Greenthumb 751]

This is dreadful

[cambridgeshire canary 6,835]

Watford win, Brentford win, we lose.

 

Oh boy. Man City to come.

We’ll always tend to do that against the best teams in the world

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,155]

I'm going to be in a foul fu***** mood for a while. Please don't take my negative posts as a reflection on my level of support. But ffs I'm so depressed and annoyed

[Nuff Said 5,191]

I’m impressed with Rashica and we have most of our new signings still to play. Crying out for a couple of subs.

[Samwam27 532]

And FFS, we can't afford to wait until we're 3-0 before making changes.  

[sonyc 5,541]

How much time do you reckon post match we've got before Keith makes a visit? So much joy he won't be able to contain

Sharpening his pen now? I reckon within 15 minutes.

It would be worse if we weren't playing a top side we need to get 3 points from. 

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297]

Lees-Melou looks like he's got an awful lot of work to do. Not much better than Vrancic on this showing.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,424]

We all looking forward to the etihad next week then? 🙈

Captaining Salah... sacrilege!

Watford beat a Villa side that failed to look dangerous going forward, Brentford beat an Arsenal side that will be in a relegation battle if they repeat that sort of performance. Brentford weren't amazing, they were solid, Arsenal were shocking.

We are playing one of what is looking like three favs for the title, who have won the title and the Champions league and have a team glittering with internationals and trophy winners.

SHOCK? No.
