Saint Matty 76

I literally didn’t mention anyone, are you alright?

How’s him scoring a deflected shot relevant to me saying he can’t cross a ball?

Perraud is maybe the worst crossing full-back I’ve ever seen.

Thanks for being our best attacking threat over the past few months, Alcaraz. Thanks for changing the game when you came on vs Spurs, Sulemana. We're going to leave you both out in this absolute must win game and bring you on after an hour when we're playing catch-up and decide to actually play a bit of football.

Well at least if we're going down we're doing so with the most boring possible line-up with anyone who can create entertainment left out the XI.

This along with "we don't need to look at other results" is mind boggling to me.

Yeah, can at least make a case with Forest/Wolves but it's still a shit result. How we've given 6 points to Wolves is incredible.

Bournemouth and Forest winning is an absolute nightmare.

It's a bit of a tough one as I don't actually think we categorically are one of the worst three teams in the league, but we've shot ourselves in the foot so much this season that staying up would be a pretty ridiculous achievement now. I think we were the 7th highest odds for relegation when the season started, but have been consistently the favourite for a little while at this point. The whole Nathan Jones saga was absolutely bizarre, and a team should be not be able to survive after the points we gave up in that run and the overall damage it caused. Let alone with an interim manager in his first ever job. The 2-0 win against Everton in '99 was actually my first ever game, so couldn't speak much on that.

Completely changed the game when he came on. Should never be left out for Elyounoussi again.

Nobody has made a twat out of themselves. 1 point out of these 2 games was not good enough, and the mistakes he made with the starting 11 had us nearly out of the game. Great fight to get a deserved point, but let's not start acting like people are in the wrong for being critical.

Nah. Start our better players and maybe we can win a few football matches.

Fair to say that Sulemana should never be dropped again.

I've deservedly criticised these lot an absolute tonne, but that's some credit to them for getting back to 3-3 today. I just wish, for once, we'd take something positive and kick on into next week.

How nice it must be to have a goalkeeper who can make a save. Oh, we just released this guy?

Unless... 👀

Thank god for the train strikes. At least we've got Mara and Walcott up front to try and attack the rest of the game.

Well that's what happens when you're forced to have a 5'10 RB at CB.

Walcott has excellent delivery from wide areas, it's just getting his damn decaying body into those areas. Great ball from Lavia, who I agree was way off it first half.

Just as you're about to fucking give up...

Don't have the players capable of breaking down a Spurs team who will sit back in the second half, and don't have the defensive personnel out there capable of stopping them making it 2 or 3 on the counter. This one is over.

If I can fucking see it how can't a bunch of professionals?

Not sure what we can do to fix this to be honest. Serious amount of bad luck with both getting injured. Could obviously make a case we should have 2 on the bench but this is pretty unprecedented.

AMN looked decent in a back three as a wide CB but that's completely different to a back four. Alarming lack of height on the pitch for us now too.

Christalfuckingmighty.
