Well that was sub-optimal.

How has that penalty not been given? Stonewall, didn't get within a yard of the ball.

The second wasn't much better. Just knock it over the top and run on to it, then nobody anywhere near Barkley. Reid suspended for their next game too.

So J Rod basically has one eye and one leg. Should we get him a parrot for Christmas?

Poor initial clearance, straight to Coleman. Dodgy save, either hold it or push it wide. Reid asleep to the follow up and nobody in the middle marking Lukaku. Good work by Bolaise but it wasn't lucky, poor goal to concede.

Watching Everton vs West Ham. One of those 'why can't both teams lose' games.

Would this squad win the League? Forster, Boruc, McC Clyne, Cédric, Fonte, Lovren, Toby, Virgil, Shaw, Bertrand Morgan, Victor, Romeu, Hojbjerg Lallana, Tadic, Mané, Boufal, Davis, Puncheon J Rod, Pellè, Austin, Lambert Okay, granted half of them wouldn't want to be here, sit on the bench etc. But if they did...

I remember Vignal having the game of his life against Leicester, I think in a cup tie, when he scored that free kick. 40 yards out and right of central, just evaded everyone I think.

Chris Baird scored an absolute belter in the Championship, he might have had 1 or 2 from set pieces earlier in the season though.

Rather odd that one of our moderators can't seem to spot one of the most blatant and persistent trolls on t'internet.

That is absolutely f**king phenomenal!

We signed Boufal and Redmond to go with Austin from January. How many did you want us to sign.

This is dull.

I think the low point for this site was when Sir Griff was killed a few years ago, God rest his soul. Was made even worse by the fact that he was dating another poster on here, Pompeylass IIRC.

Saint Charlie also left us at some point in the recent past and has, I suspect, reappeared.

I'd agree with the OP but with Gardos if he is anything like match fit. Can't see Sunderland having any confidence or commitment at all for this fixture, although I've been bitten in the arse by these comments before. If we do go out... meh. The EL group is so delicately balanced I'd rather keep as many fresh as possible and Chelsea next is a big game.

Another game the media will sweep under the rug as 'City's poor form continues'. They were substandard but we played a large part in making them look so. Romeu, Fonte, Virgil and Redmond lol superb IMO. I gave the latter motm if only for such a well taken and clinical goal and being so alert. Boufal is clearly a quality player on the ball but looked off the pace today. Can only be expected really, City away is hardly easing him into things. His composure to set up a change for Austin, who should have been more composed himself, was great to see and he will unlock a few defences this season I feel.

I like Clasie, or at least I don't agree with a lot of the stick he gets on here, but if someone offered me Morgan in his place I'd take it in a heartbeat. That is taking the massive assumption that he would agree to a pay cut and still be motivated.

We've done nothing other than lose on our last 5 visits. Last time we got a result Beattie, Phillips and Pahars were up front.

But was it any worse than Fernandinho's tackle earlier?

I tried looking fir someone to blame and came to the conclusion it was just a belting ball in from KDB. Perfect height, pace and far enough away from the 'keeper.
