The offsides should be judged by a panel of 3, no lines, no tech just the freeze frame of when the ball was kicked. Give em 5 seconds to decide. Majority decision either way wins. Keeps the spirit of the rule and the human element there.

Easy tiger

This. He was getting slated for not being on the end of a cross by Rice which was probably the only proper cross of the game. Otherwise it was Trossard or Saka taking an eternity to deliver a ball. He'd have been better of at Manchester Utd as mas as it sounds.

Not a suprise is it, most of that 11 is no where near top 4 quality, Amorim was actually doing OK on the quiet. Apparently he wanted Watkins over Sesko... You'd have to think Utd would be at least 5 points better off with Watkins up top, they certainly made a decent amount of chances this season.

Are we in for one, this is a big hole IMO. We lack a destroyer (and pace/physicality).

Whatever the result it will be the tip of the iceberg.

Also, how many incredibly soft free kicks do you see given where a player "invites the contact" by placing themselves between the ball and the opponent then collapsing when they feel any contact.

These seem to be in free fall but I remember them being a handful at our place early doors, Nathan Jones teams are always horrible to play against, I think we need to go here and win the battle before winning the football match.

Not a suprise, the ref pandering to their antics all day. Felt like the Burnley game last season, such a frustrating watch.

A CDM/CM with an engine and pace please.

Also won a lot of first contacts etc. did the basics well

Feels like this has been the trend for the month of December, so lazy off the ball.

Did not age well😪

Gutless. Furlong is a fanny, pass it on.

Yea I agree re our over performance in relation to xG but we do miss BTA, if not for his goal threat (which I don't think he would have sustained, injury or no injury) but for his work on and off the ball. He also won an astonishing number of headers, he worked nicely as a foil for Wright as he...

The pen was stone wall. Like that one Chelsea got away with against Newcastle but even more obvious

They are but god they are a hard watch, I'm some games I think they really could have turned it on a bit more. The Liverpool game they lost being an example, they were there for the taking at that point.

No idea, I think the consensus on here is that they have another 2.5 seasons of being able to go at it as they have just been promoted. No idea if this is correct tho!

There exactly where you'd expect. Give them a competent striker and they'd be bothering the autos. If they don't go up this season I can see them challenging for the top 2...
