Yep. Just missing that little bit of composure and decision making. He's got pace though, a bit of strength, a few tricks. He's got a chance that's for sure.

Nonsense. Call the situation for what it is, not what he did the other week.

It was and to be honest, I'm not sure how people couldn't see that rather than pelting Adams.

To be fair, the only criticism I'm reading is that Vestergaard is a bit statuesque, that we didn't score when we had chances, and that Walcott looks poor. It's been said that we've played some good stuff and that Tella looks decent. It can't be ignored though that he missed a chance which (for me) was easier than Adams, and that he should have played the ball to Adams earlier and firmer. We're allowed to call what we see mate, its a forum.

I'd need to see it again, but to me it looked like a weak ish ball played too late, meaning he had to check a little and received the ball when the keeper was on top of him. People are making out it was a sitter - it wasn't.

He's decent. I'd like to have seen more of Watts as he's got something about him too.

They certainly are. The Fabinho foul on him where his knee went a bit was a yellow all day long.

Yep, under hit and a spilt second too late meaning he was too close to the keeper when he received the ball.

Tella being chopped down all over the place.

Yep. Ball in also could have been better. That was more difficult chance for Adams than is being made out.

Armstrong looks very good in the middle. His running from deep gives us something we've been missing.

All over the place then. Decent start otherwise.

The party is all over the place. Not really socialist, not not really left of centre, just lost; remainer at hartlepool; wokeness; taking the knee; getting all excited over the wallpaper and flat when the masses couldn't give a monkeys. They've gone from being weak opposition to shocking. They need some direction sharpish.

I have no issue with people having a different opinion to me, but I take issue with the suggestion that I'm trying to justify an opinion and/or being disrespectful. What I've seen for a long time is a declining player, both performance and demeanour wise. You may see his loss of captaincy as coincidental to that, I don't. That he's been a loyal servant is without question, but it's not disrespectful to have the opinion that he's gone off the boil. We'll have to agree to differ.

Ever decreasing circles...enjoy your weekend.

Yep, I am speculating that there's an attitude issue. Captains who are playing do not lose the captaincy without reason. If that reason was falling out with the boss and not sorting it out, that hardly shows a great attitude.

I'm really surprised it's that much. Isn't the advertising pretty much tv type screens? I'd assumed it was just a case of reprogramming the ads, using a local TV crew, getting DHL to deliver the trophy, and game on. Nonetheless, 2 English clubs playing in a red zone country would be nuts.

You've overlooked that he lost the captaincy, and lost it for a reason. I'm all ears for explanations as to why hardworking, committed and effective captains lose the captaincy. Romeu would be good captain material if his first language was English and he didn't spend his time injured or suspended.

Daft point. He's our senior player. A champions league finalist. He's the obvious captain, and he was our captain...you don't lose the armband by being the morale booster in the changing room.

How do you know that his influence on the team is a positive one? If it was, and with his experience, I suspect he'd be wearing the captain's armband. The fact that he's not, and that we seem a more committed team without him in it, makes we feel that he's not the best influence.

I get that, but people are still flooding into the country and some journalists won't add much to that. If its played overseas as it usually is, Portugal is the obvious place. Cracking outing for the fans too.

Not sure, but I'm in 6 and won't have 2nd til 22nd May. I'd imagine 21st June is the target date to get through 1-9, and as many first jabs as possible.

"Go Henry made Covid" should be the slogan for the conspiracy mentalists.
