  1. If indeed it was disallowed as the referee blew the whistle the second time before the ball was in the net, how was the free kick retaken? The chain of events would have been: Whistle blown to allow free kick. Free kick taken. Referee's whistle was blown to halt play while the ball was in motion (for whatever reason). So surely the restart should have been a drop ball? The free kick was taken legitimately and play continued, even if only briefly. I don't understand what rule or law would permit play to be rolled back to that extent?
  2. Big chance to pick up back to back wins. With this game coming fast I'd like to see a couple of changes: Martinez Elmo - Konsa - Mings - Targett Sanson - Marv Trez - Barkley - El Ghazi Watkins Sanson has shown enough in his cameos to have a go at starting, and it's a good chance to give McGinn a break. I think starting both Traore and Barkley leaves us a little light, so I'd put Trez in and see if being dropped has put a rocket up Barkley. Traore is a great option to have on the bench if we need it, and it gives us a few ways to change up depending on how the game is going.
  3. He's the sort of player you need, an experienced player who doesn't moan and can come in and be solid. Quite a versatile player too. I wouldn't mind offering him another year but I think there'll be a club out there that offers him a longer deal.
  4. Would like to see him start on Wednesday. Give McGinn a rest.
  5. Other teams get them all the time, I don't blame him for trying.
  6. Crikey. Whatever happens I hope we don't send the same eleven back out. Barkley off for me. When he's had the ball he's been sloppy, but the second striker thing is wrong for this game, the ball isn't getting there. I'd stick Marv or the new boy in for him and try and win back midfield. Grealish and Traore also been ineffective.
  7. Big game for Barkley I think. Needs to try and be more involved today.
  8. What is the financial impact of dropping to league one? Is there much? Not like dropping from PL to Championship with the TV money after all.
  9. We play again early Saturday. I think we need to make quite a few changes. Sanson and Nakamba in for Barkley and Luiz maybe.
  10. Two games in a row now. I'm not sure it works with Barkley. He plays too far forward and we get dominated. Would like to see a McGinn Samson Luiz trio for a few games to see if it provides some solidity.
  11. Brilliant turn by targett. Abysmal touch by Watkins sadly. Then a goal. Not our night.
  12. No idea. Cash injury must have been a couple of minutes. Refs are just **** useless. Can't even use a watch competently.
  13. We'd all have took it happily a few months back. All I've wanted for a decade is a mid table finish in the premier League. Let's enjoy it. This is an improving team.
  14. One of them ain't it. To get one point out of the two games we've played against these this season is an absolute fluke, but that's football. I'd rather lose to that than a bent linesman or refereeing howler I guess. I know people will complain about lack of subs but we were the best team all game. Just rotten luck.
  15. If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck....
  16. "Took the ball". And there was me being told he "received" it. **** joke.
