Pitch is shit

[SerbianScouser]

Well done he's 13.

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

Disjointed as expected.

Jones and Endo been pretty poor on the ball.

Not sure how they’ve got singled out, they’ve been all poor actually. Don’t think we’ve strung together a single spell of effective possession. But you really can’t expect too much with a disjointed team like this.

Kelleher though, he really needs to hit the gym to improve. He hasn’t looked like he’s improved at all physically the last two seasons.

[Tonyh8su]

Kelleher absolutely shocking on the second.

[jillcwhomever]

Thank God Allison is back, Kelleher is pretty much a training cone at this point.

Very supportive. 

[cptrios]

good experience for the young lads, whatever the outcome.

would throw Nunez on, as he needs goals to improve confidence..

I don't think he'd get any service at all. He might disrupt the defense, but it's probably not worth risking him on this crappy pitch.

[andyrol]

Older players letting us down. Refs been awful, they flop to the floor at every opportunity.

[Fromola]

Their first was well offside, oh well, no big deal

It doesn't matter tonight but that's twice we've been screwed after the farce in Toulose. Bad enough with the Manc dickheads in England.

Offsides are supposed to be objective and VAR continues to even get objective decisions wrong.

[Cormack Snr]

I have seen every centre back since Yeats and konate is not my cup of tea. Never been a fan and he isn't proving me wrong.
He'll have another injury soon..

[Red Beret]

Miles off the pace. Players we have clearly just aren't up for this. Big question marks over the lot of them. I'm sure they're a bunch of very nice lads and doing their best, but the key stats speak for themselves. We just can't help but bring in substandard players as we try to compete on the cheap.

Need to sell a clutch of this lot in January and get ourselves in a couple of £80m quality players, definitely. Complete waste of a fixture so far.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Well done he's 13.

The referee is a typical European one too, he's blown for everything including the tiniest touches, really poor. The offside looked like one which would have been flagged in England.

[Libertine]

What's that sound?

Oh yes, confirmation bias.

[Paisley79]

I'm still sitting open-mouthed at that VAR decision on the first goal. It looked miles off in real time!

[John C]

A blind man on a horse running on the moon could see their first goal was offside.

[StevoHimself]

Not a lot to say really. Very poor. Can't put too much blame on the young lads, but pretty disappointing from the senior lads (who are mostly quite young themselves but that isn't the point). Kelleher has been called both Keller and Kellergher by the commentry so far.

[Fromola]

Very thin gruel ...and their first was fuckin way offside - but you come to expect that these days.......what's pissing me off the most is the difference in tone between the way these BT c*nts covered the Manc and Newcastle games - and this game tonight - absolute polar opposites

TNT hate us. If only they'd stop putting our league games on.

[duvva 💅]

Need some of the (more) seniors to take responsibility and get a grip on the game, bring the youngsters in more.
We’ve not been great defensively at times but not a massive surprise given how many young players we have in.

Still possible for them to get a more positive result

[Robinred]

The sort of game you find out about ‘promising’ youngsters.

Have to say I had very high hopes for Doak, and every time he’s been given a chance, he’s disappointed. Early days I know. Endo getting caught in possession (and Curtis for the offside goal) has been a feature; he doesn’t generally do well when pressed.

We look terribly exposed on the counter - a real lack of pace evident.

[stockdam]

Was the first goal offside as it looked clear in real-time?

[MD1990]

Endo is so slow.

Poor casting scared the fish away.

[Clint Eastwood]

Only saw it once but Konate couldn't seem to decide whether to defend that first goal or not. No idea what's up with him but he's looked really off this last month or so.

He's playing like someone who doesn't want to get injured. Doesn't look up for it.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Brave call there by Michael Owen on the offside..

[Lynndenberries]

Jones’ form pretty much since the red card has been slightly concerning. He seems like the type to need a run of games to get into form and he just hasn’t had that unfortunately.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Endo is so slow.

You’re in for it now!!

[Oldmanmick]

That Nilsson has done well, can see why Everbody’s Talkin’ about him.

  Very good. Might have gone over a few heads that one though.

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Yeah, I don't think Alisson will be sweating too much over his place in the first choice starting line up. I do wonder if Pitaluga will start getting a look in for the second string matches any time soon.

Anyway, performance to be expected but absolutely delighted for Jarell to get his first goal, and it was a pretty fucking decent one too. As for the second half, that lot will knacker themselves out soon enough and we can mop up with a change or two. Still, a bit of fun for a Thursday evening and a chance for the young lads to get a run out, nothing will be broken forever if we don't win this one.

[Jean Girard]

Reckon Bradley can step up and contribute 2nd half of the season - he just looks the part to me.

[Original]

Endo is so slow.

So so slow

[proudred]

Endo & Kelleher need to do better. How can he be beaten at the near post ?

[Funky_Gibbons]

Very good. Might have gone over a few heads that one though.

At least one person recognised it, that’s all that matters 🤣

I like Bradley he's very calm under pressure doesn't throw in silly tackles.

[OkieRedman]

Endo is so slow.

I think it is slowness of thought that is the main concern. Seems to have no clue where anyone is around him.

You'd like to see more pace and energy, too slow and ponderous with some.

[thaddeus]

No injuries

On the match we've had so much possession but created nothing except for the corner which led to the goal.

[diegoLFC7]

Take Gakpo off and rest for United. Never in the game.

[Schmidt]

All I can think is they've taken it a frame earlier and he was just on.
