What a crock of shit that answer is .........as i said like most corners then. McCarthy is the only one who can handle the ball correct?......so why not claim the area and punch or collect the ball and ease the pressure on the defence?

So nearly every goal scored from a corner should be considered as in the keepers line of sight?............

Noticed a certain M.Dean on VAR duty......................................

If we did do you think we would be able to keep them/buy them?

Drinks cabinet was looking empty.........................sorry!!

But to get the best or better from our attack surely the emphasis must be to create chances for them to play with?,and i dont see where the chances are going to come from? Djenepo what the fuck does he bring to the play ahead or Tella? or indeed that wonderful servant to the club Mr (he runs and causes defenders problems) Long? Ralphs selections are very blinkered and quite baffling at this moment in time arnt they. Why do we keep persisting with the same old systems? can we just play 4-4-2? because we seem to be a counter attack team every time we play . We sit back try to soak up the game and hope for a good counter. We seem yet again a side that lacks imagination or creativity.Its boring, and i feel sorry for those that have paid go to games and are served up this turgid rubbish. I watch it on the internet and have the opportunity to switch it off, unlike those of you who pay £50 plus per ticket(and we wonder why its not full) only to know what to expect. Maybe this is not the time to try and compose a reply to this question,but fuck me are we ever going to turn a corner?...........

As i see it ,it seems we have a better chance of beating the bigger clubs in the early rounds, as they are far too important to field their 1st team in minor cup competitions such as this, and unfortunately to some extent the F.A Cup.

Danso got sent off last night playing for Lens.

Carrilio come to mind .........our record signing?

So true ,didnt realise or forgotten that he was injured for the world cup final. RIP..............ps side note Boycie from Only fools and horses also saddly passed.

Outside the box and its a free kick ....................

Unfortunately yes,but could we keep him longer than next season if his development continues the way we all hope for?

Very good summary, my other view is Djenepo seems to always be looking to get fouled, very lightweight, and end product is more miss than hit. Bambi on ice all over the place ,as said in commentary 1 goal in last 45 matches i believe or something like that. Borja looks a good prospect, these signings from Chelsea seem very very good atm, its good to see such drive and ambition on the pitch, pitty we haven't got this sort of talent up and coming through our system,or if we have Ralph doesn't trust them.

Totally cant argue with any of your assessments of the game. How does Redmond keep getting starts?.......hes got the whole game to come up with something . Unlike a sub, who if your on our bench seem to get between 8 or 9 or no time at all to influence the game. Hes so not direct at all . That chat Pep had with him at City a couple of seasons ago has affected him im sure of it .He shows no urgency and often slows the move down to a crawl and it ends up with a backwards pass. That said both teams passing were poor today but i was expecting alot more from us as we were at home. Why cant we play 4-4-2 ?...... we seem to end up as the home team playing on the counter attack with just one up front and 10 behind the ball. Tella must have forgotten to say morning boss somewhere along the line this term, where is he? Should have been on for Redmond or ELy for at least last 10 mins when we at least seemed to have made a few attacking attempts and seemed on top.

Could be worse i suppose ...............just ask Arsenal fans.............lol

We were getting upset at chants and abuse towards player in hungary............what happend to our own players in this years Euro Final?............short memories .

But there is another option to play both on the right side infront of one another surley

As its been discussed previously,why hasn't he sought better coaching staff?........his so called number 2 just sits there with no direct input into the playing situation at the moment things are not going to plan,if there is one. I wonder if another of the backroom staff should get up and interject or would it be above their pay grade thus Ralph feeling undermined?.Once again i find it frustrating watching our subs being shown flip charts just before they enter the game ,as if yep im going to come across this scenario where should i be?. Usually were loosing at said time of substitution and i find it frustrating that a player is being shown a flip chart of instructions or some hand signals that a deaf person might think are directions to the goal. Coaches need to be stronger and have more influence.

And injuries hindered his stint at Chelsea,but theres still january to come, maitland niles would be a good shout.

Do we think or hope for further activity today or are we all done for this window?..............would love to see Maitland Niles on a season loan with an option to buy but i think hes moving elsewhere.

this season would the penatly shout against Villa at home stood? the one against Villa wasnt given because it deflected upon himself, as it also did against James ?so whats changed?

but to be fair on that observation bambi on ice should have had 2 in the first half and the game was over. Newcastle are poorer than us thats for sure, and we just seem to loose concentration at the wrong times putting ourselves under pressure.

Weve still got Long...................

I know just dreaming ....................😇

Ah Jude Bellingham..............future England captain .Now this would be an insane signing and a coup for the club if we were to make inquiries about his future and tempt him in. Pitty Southgate didn't trust him and the other exciting talent he wasted. Never get an easier chance to win a major tournament than the one just gone.
