The league campaign was over ages ago. I think we were all kidding ourselves that these kind of games wouldn’t become the norm with no striker

Well they just assume players like Docherty are suddenly going to be world beaters, run up the full length of the pitch and slam it in. If I had to bet on that hammer finishing off that chance I'd bet against. We've seen how shit most strikers are in this league (although better than our striker tbf)Quote:

Your analysis of this is spot on.....I think its mainly because MLS had control first and was bullied off it which is why I probably wouldn't give a red card.Quote:

Should be a straight red for that tackle from behind on Trossard. We can't afford to lose any more players but we aren't getting any protection.
Sterling coming on. Nwaneri off. LOL.
And Nwaneri limped off.
Nwaneri taken off and it seems he is injured....wow.
I’ll be honest, I’m not really understanding why people are getting upset. Yes we’ve played poorly today but it doesn’t really matter does it?. We don’t have goalscorers on the pitch, we push up too high and we get punished. All this stuff about not playing with pace or intensity doesn’t really matter here.
Kudus, the best player on the pitch by a mile, is taken off
:lol: sorry shouldn’t laugh. But can’t help a bit of gallows humourQuote:

Saliba off, Ben White on.
