  1. Davies, only one that tried to go forward, until he was pulled which was wrong decision over Gomes or Sigurdsson.
  2. Anyone still think Richarlison can lead the front line? Failed to even jump for any balls played up to him in the air, that aside we were piss poor from front to back apart from Coleman and Davies, can’t understand why they were pulled over others. If only we had Siggurdson, Gomes, and Holgate on the pitch we would have been a shoo in to win.....
  3. Doucoure is no slouch. Looks like King is still getting up to PL match fitness, hope we come out of the blocks with the pace and intensity to get a couple of quick goals and settle the game down, get the game sorted and give Allen and King a run out ahead of Citeh.
  4. Missing for 2/3 of this season and almost half of last, provides some comfort apart from paying his wages, He adds absolutely nothing positive to us IMO.
  5. Thought you would have got it, didnt Llloris give away a goal in the WC final?
  6. That is such a great goal,, sublime turn leaving Ali at sixes and sevens, deft flick, Bernard waits and waits until the right moment to strike.
  7. Son is an exceptional player, ( taking aside his “tackle” on Gomes which was just below where I sit and horrific to witness) and leaves many for dead, I wouldn’t crucify Tom on that, but he could have done better I agree, as it was clear to see what he was going to do.
  8. I doubt he’s match fit for 90 mins, I expect him to be either be subbed off after 60 mins or come on for last 30
  9. Tom like most of the team, looks like he is benefiting from having an experienced manager at the helm, I think Tom has had 5 managers since that goal against Man City, lack of stability and direction will have had a huge negative impact on him. Carlo has taken him out of the limelight for a while and has slowly reintroduced him, ( without the crowd who historically have given him a hard time, me included, but I groan at every bad pass) . I don’t think he will become a superstar, but will develop into a solid player who we can depend on. I like McTominay from what I’ve seen, not sure about the other 2 though.
  10. Anyone fancy taking Lloris? I said it earlier this week, every keeper has a mistake in him, as does every player, it’s highlighted in a keeper as it tends to lead to a goal against.
  11. Tom Davies for me, only seemed to have one thing on his mind, to drive the team forward, the improvement in his game over recent weeks has been immense. Another team performance which makes it harder to single out one player for MOTM, long may it continue.
  12. Heart in mouth stuff all night, we are starting to look like a team that doesn’t roll over. Ive still got Bt on i the background, arsewipes taking up Spurs more than us, as they did all night
  13. You have the morals of a yard dog! I’ve never managed to get to a final either, highly unlikely it will be in front of a crown this year, so we all know what’s going to happen now I’m a ST holder
  14. True, but how good is James’s heading compared to DCL
  15. I’m one who keeps saying it, and we will never know if it’s true or false as they can’t play in goal together to compare like for like, what I do feel is games where Pickford looses his head and the rest seem to follow and we loose the game, maybe not as a direct fault of his but possible cause. Of course time moves on and we’re more settled as a team under Carlo than before which will have a positive effect in most games.
  16. Highlights the fact that a keeper has nowhere to hide if they make a mistake, FWIW I think Olsens calmer approach gives our defenders confidence in him, as much as I rate Pickford as a shot stopper, when he wobbles it makes the whole defence wobble.
  17. I hope he gets some decent game time, no point bringing him in if he doesn’t, we need to see if it’s worth a proper contract in the summer.
  18. Doucoure just edges Tom for me, both gave excellent performance and were pretty much everywhere they needed to be, Doucoure obviously has a huge engine, he popped up all over the pitch, got the important first and calmly recovered the ball to find James for the second.
  19. Yeah I saw him saying that also, love his passion, he is going to have a great career as a blue.
  20. So good to see us hang in there and get the point we deserved ( just ) Utd had three quality players who all scored, the first two being quality goals. Great out of the blocks in the2nd half and then stood off and let them back into the game, could have lost 4-2 but we pushed on, won a free kick and did what was needed. Olsen at fault for their third, De Gea even worse for our second. Holgate poor game, needs to sort his game out, King looks like he will do what we’re hoping from him, Tom Davies had a good game, always looked to drive us forward, and we needed to get the ball through to Richy and Dom when they were making good runs. Hopefully we go into Wednesday with confidence from this.
