Absolutely bottled it today. To concerned with Spurs and not conceding rather than try to win the game. Left us massively overrun in midfield and once we went behind it was game over because we always look bad when we start slow. He's been brilliant since he arrived but had an absolute shocker today.

Don't want to be disrespectful, but that's because you're a casual watcher. Go down the the divisions, domestically and internationally and there are great fighters and great fights happening. The HW division is the pantomime but the rest of it isn't.

LMAO...

Devastating

Parker all day

What a shit fight tbh. HW boxing is dull asf more often than not. Hope Parker pulls this off because Zhang is lazy asf.

Parkers up against it now. Got a much better output but 2 knockdowns leaves him with a lot to do in the final 4 rounds. He needs all of them imo, even though he's done all the work.

Think Zhang might have to much power for Parker late on. He's technically far better than Wilder too. Parker needs to stay busy and move, keep Zhang missing.

Yeah, I feel like we've wasted him tbh. He's definitely struggled to settle but I just don't think we've helped him either.

Without doubt but considering his early season form he needs to get himself together, because atm he's becoming very passive in the games he starts.

Not wanting to be too critical, but I'm just not a fan at all. Great playing the through balls but has zero physicality in the middle.

I wish we'd given him more minutes the last few months tbh. I feel his time has come and gone now, but there he's definitely a better player than we've seen.

I don't think he's really ready tbh. I'm sure he'll be better next season but I'm not sure we can't replace him with better either. If we get CL I expect he'll make way. Not a bad player but he's got a long long way to go to be up to the standard required imo.

So disappointing watch him play at the moment. Looks devoid of confidence, Strength and other than the cross to Digne last week has literally produced nothing in 2-3 months.

I agree. I think we've got a very tough run in and will need to seriously be on our game to grab 4th. If you look at last season and how we finished our final 10-12 games to close the gap on Brighton, it's a possibility with 33 points still up for grabs. I keep hearing that will be a shoe in for CL if we beat Spuds but I think we need to do far more than that. 11 to go I think we'll need another 15 points. City, Arsenal away, Liverpool at home. Brighton away, WH away, Wolves is always a tough fixture..... We've still got plenty to do imo.

Ref's been sniffing a bit of the Albanian snow, cut with Ajax. Lost his mind

Ref handing out cards like it's f****** christmas

A slower tempo just does not suit us, and I can't believe we haven't worked that out yet. We become complacent, sloppy and just invite needless pressure. If Unai doesn't switch this up I see Ajax nicking it in the 2nd half. Tim, Diaby, Konsa, Tielemans and Rogers have been the main culprits imo. Very poor first 45. Need to switch on tbh.

F****** crazy I'd say. Obviously I say that with a pinch of salt because what are 7 Indian males doing there in the first instance. I doubt Russia the new party capital of Eastern Europe

Mental if true. Ukraine war: Seven Indians on holiday issue plea after being forced into Russian army (msn.com) A distressing plea has emerged from a group of young men from India who claim to have been deceived into military service in Russia's war against Ukraine. In a video circulated on social media platform X, seven individuals in military-style winter gear plead for assistance from the government, highlighting their dire predicament.......

We'll agree to disagree.

Well read the original post I responded to then before getting into a back and forth, because the original post was about him being better when he was single. Hence why I took exception to to it. And there isn't one player in the PL that doesn't have off games, even the best players do so to expect him to stamp his authority on every game is a little mad imo. He's our best midfielder by far.

Course I can argue with it. it's not just the numbers he's been instrumental in our form this season and everything good we've done. The idea that banging a bird is causing him to lose focus is ludicrous. Absolute nonsense. Every player in the squad is probably in a relationship ffs.

I'm not sure I agree with the title bit... Also, if Mings had been fit, would Pau have been given the time to settle early doors and therefore turned into the player we now see? Had Buendia been fit would Diaby or Bailey have had the impact they've had throughout the season, especially Bailey? Would Dougie be playing further forward and been allowed to contribute so much to the attack, or would Tielemans have taken that slot more than Dougie? We just don't know. They've all been loses for sure but have all been equally replaced with players that have excelled on last year and taken their own games to another level. Everyone was flapping after Kamara got injured after Utd yet McGinn and Dougie have turned that on it's head with us picking up 3 wins on the bounce. We've just kept rolling on. I think sometimes it's easy to say we could've been so much better if a, b or c were in the mix but sometimes it allows others to reach new levels.
