Forster at least makes saves you don't expect him to every now and then, he knows how to position himself when facing a shot to give himself the best chance of blocking it by virtue of his size. He also likes playing the ball out quicker which could be handy with the pace and direct runners we have. There is not a single part of the game that McCarthy is better at.

Part of me wishes we'd conceded from that mental moment when he was crawling around on all fours on his goal line while Salisu blocked the shot. It would have made pundits etc highlight him and possibly force Ralph to admit he's fucking useless. What on earth is happening in training that makes him not pick Forster!

If we continue with the high line you NEED a keeper that can confidently and capably rush out and collect balls that drop anywhere in the box. McCarthy doesn't have the confidence and Forster is too slow.

He's a weird one, last two seasons he's had times where he came into the team and looked outstanding and then his performances just drop and he starts making stupid mistakes again. Maybe he just gets comfortable?

Unless someone is paying £20million or more for him - unlikely - we should not be looking to sell, at all.

I'd like to see us play mostly our first choice team, only changes I'd make are Adams for Tella or Broja, JWP for Diallo (or S. Armstrong if he's fit) and Walcott for Elyounoussi. All the others you'd think of resting - Tino, A. Armstrong, Djenepo, Perraud and the CB pairing - could all use as much game time as possible.

KWP and Tino on the right, Perraud and Stuart Armstrong on the left sounds as good as we've had down the wings for a long time.

I feel a wantaway KWP saga around the corner...

To be fair Ings has never missed a single one on one chance in his entire life.

Pogba you cunt, that was intending to hurt him.

Should still be able to hit it forward with the outside of his right foot.

Adams was in behind the defence there but KWP bottled it and cut back inside to play it backwards. Fuck sake.

Indeed, need to be working on near post flick ons and pacy corners to the edge of the box.

Romeu shit himself there and played the pass too early.

My bad, my missus said it was Tella coming on 🤦🏼‍♂️

What the fuck is this sub now, back to a back 4 with Salisu at left back!?

I don't think he did, the angle from behind him it looks like he was still trying to head it towards goal but just got in the wrong position. Also probably put off by the defender swinging for it right in front of him.

You mean in the whole 1 and 3 quarter games we've played? 😂

Naiveté there from Armstrong, in the championship he might score with a weak left footed effort but not at this level, should have gone with his right foot. And then a horrific effort from the corner, no excuse for that.

A little too much, that change of shape at half time is what's cost us.

Does McCarthy ever shout to his defense? Diallo on for Djenepo, settling for the draw, which means we'll lose 3 or 4-1.

Maguire held Armstrong on the floor then!!!!!

Maybe, but he's still only 18. Decision making comes with time.

Livramento, wow.
