Boys should be buzzing after that result against Palace. We have to continue with the same passion and determination we finished that game. 433 ( please finally ) Digne in for Mina because I think we will want Godfrey at LB against Chelsea. Pickford Coleman Godfrey Keane Digne Allan Gomes Doucoure Gordon Richarlison Gray

I don’t disagree with any of your points mate - i think you’ll find I’ve made them quite a lot my self.

Agreed. Wages are far too high for a player that can’t stay fit. Shame because we are a better side when he plays.

I like Digne but I don’t think the playing style of Carlo or Benitez suits him one bit to be honest. Defensively he isn’t great and on attack he gets ignored more often than not by the winger cutting in on their favoured foot.

Needs to start against palace

Got the Townsend for Gomes sub right tonight. Unlucky with the 2 offside goals to be chasing the game but ultimately we got the result. Can’t suggest for one second the players aren’t behind him. That kind of passion, determination needs to be normal and not a one off. Let’s go boys

Richy - amazing job. Ran and fought for everything. Gray - has that ability in him, always looked a threat and you can see he is up for it. Allan - watch his reaction to richys goal, he is nutcase but he is our nutcase. Passion personified Fans - were amazing, unbelievable. More of the same.

Please Rafa - 3 man midfield from now on.

Well done fellas, everyone enjoy that. Games coming thick and fast here so hopefully we’ve turned a corner and pick up some quick points and look a bit better going into the new year. Huge effort from the lads. Richarlison is priceless when he’s like that.

I’ve got chills. Get in what a goal!! Take the roof off boys

Get in Richy

Yeah well he messed it up completely not even knowing Ocon was leading at that point and offering red bull second spot first. Tough track - I think teams will have taken a lot from that race for the next one tactics wise.

Yeah I thought it was strange. I would think he would communicate with Mercedes first to appease their frustration and then inform red bull of the decision. That way if/when the car in front reacts to the decision the following car is at least somewhat aware of what’s happening.

He hasn’t been perfect but I still feel had we gotten him when we go Walsh we would be in much better position now. A lot of reports saying he didn’t sanction the Iwobi transfer as well which makes me more annoyed at Moshiri who seems to get involved in so much more than he equipped to handled. Regardless, we need a clear plan and structure to follow. We all appreciate Moshiri’s investment but it’s been so misguided it’s embarrassing and totally unaligned with what this club stands for.

Can’t fault him as a person and he’s been nothing but a model professional. As a footballer though, he would struggle in the championship. It’s not his fault that he hasn’t been replaced yet though.

I hear you mate just I am sick to death of giving these players an out. I don’t love Benitez’s style but we need a re build. Moshiri has more to answer for, we’ve been wreckless for years and it’s fully catching up to us.

Richarlison closely by Doucoure. If we had 11 players with their heart and fight we would be okay. Instead we have “internationals” who continually under perform and think it’s our privilege they play for us. Edit - harsh on Allan and Gray.

But Iwobi was young and had potential that they were grooming into what they hoped would be a quality player - he didn’t play in an 11 of Iwobis and they sold him because he stagnated and reached his potential. If we fielded a team of iwobi, Rondon and Coleman for a whole season - we relegated.

Well we will sack another manager, hire another one and the circus continues. There is literally fuck all Benetiz can do with this lot. Their captain bends one in front 18 yards on his weak foot, ours is completely inept at football and gives the ball away on halfway as the last man. Absolutely dire.

Yeah disgusting from our fans

Was Gray but still. Coleman is a shit footballer that’s exposed now because he has lost his legs that covered for it. Absolutey shit house from our captain in a derby

Fuck me Pickford is proper sketchy.

Huge tackle and recovery from Godfrey there

Just get at them. We are in this and if we can really get into them, get the second goal they will be shitting themselves. Doucoure has been everywhere.

Huge chance. Solid for Tierney to play the absolute minimum over 3 minutes while we are on the attack
