Romeu should've been rested to avoid getting a yellow. BTW it shouldn't be necessary, it's bullshit that yellows/reds in cups carry over to league games (and vice versa). They should be counted separately (like European matches).

I don't know, maybe playing Redmond and Tadic on the wrong wings, or taking umpteen games to realize he needed a goal scorer (Austin) up front and to replace the statue in goal with someone who could actually move. Or making random substitutions that make no sense, rather than ones that counter the other teams changes. Or taking a solid 8th place/Cup final squad (which was strengthened with Lamina and Hoedt) into the relegation zone. It's subtle things like that I guess.

Our match is listed in upcoming matches on https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerstreams/ So fingers crossed.

Well if he's a flop and can't score, but still keeps Austin (when fit) and Gabbi out of the team because he's the clown's signing, then he could. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Puel out!!!!!

A non-goalscoring striker hand-picked by a clown of a manager, who clearly won't be leaving now. My excitement level is currently 1/10. But at least he's a striker!

And therein lies the rub.

But apparently we are going to waste £20M on another Long who can't score goals.

You mean apart from most of us who said we needed to bring in a striker ever since Mane and Pelle left?

Maybe it's also because of their complete balls-up last January, as well as their striker balls-up in last summer?

Yes but not in the same league as this chap.

I'm wondering why do some struggle with the difference between 'X did a poor job at this club' and 'X did a decent job at this club under the circumstances'.

It certainly was, and that's something we usually do very well. This shows we have a decent players in most areas (minus the gaping holes up front, and a possibly a VVD replacement). There's no reason that with a decent manager and plugging the striker hole that we can't get out of this mess.

That would be nice, but a goal scoring CF is infinitely more important (along with a non-clown manager of course).

And also shows how crap our manager is.

Tadic was very good today, and I only would've brought on Boufal (who I like BTW) if Tadic was knackered. Certainly not to replace PEH.

Didn't know PEH had a knock, but if so Davies should've come on for him. And I don't blame him for the kid coming on, that's down to the club's criminal incompetence in the striker department.

Yes but that's when we had a Chairman with balls.

Yes, yet again we start well, but the clown is clueless with substitutions. For example, why didn't Boufal replace Tadic, instead of taking off the excellent Højbjerg? Mind you, bringing on a kid in place of (presumably knackered) Gabbi shows the utter incompetence of Reed and the club in the striker department.

Gabbi would’ve buried it

More weakening of midfield. Clueless muppet

Our manager weakens our midfield with the sub and theirs then strengthens their midfield with a sub

And Claude was blamed and sacked for it.

Yep, he's got it all. Apart from being able to score goals.
