Positives - Romero once again managing to be calm when defending yet also a superb ****ehouse when needed - Skipp growing more confident in moving the ball, even compared to a month or so ago - Lo Celso proving we can have a creative player who is capable of standing upright after the 60th minute - Emerson being the first RB to successfully cross to a teammate who scored since KWP in 2017 - Julian Nagelsmann might have just become more available than we expected... Negatives - Harry Kane has forgotten what jogging is, let alone running - Gil having to be subbed off early (even if Lucas ultimately scored the goal) - The team apparently shat a collective brick when going 1-0 up and formed a human pyramid in our goal - There was more entertainment from one particularly narky Burnley fan near the pitchside mic than anything we did on the pitch - The Mannequin Challenge was in 2016, so why are our forwards doing it every time our midfielders have the ball? - You know that bit in Under the Skin where horny Glaswegians are trapped in some eldritch location where they slowly sink into a black liquid and don't realise it until they're submerged, and once they do they eventually pop like blood-filled flesh balloons? That's what watching this match felt like - Massimiliano Allegri might also be more available than expected...
I was just thinking Emerson has no idea how to cross and Lucas was having one of those nights so I claim 100% RCL
Leicester Brentford Sunderland Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool West Ham Spurs Can see everyone wanting to get us tbh. When's the draw?
Hmmm, are we allowing this, people? Trying to claim RCL points here despite no actual evidence of RCL’ing. Jury’s out on this for me I’m afraid, Alfie.
The Spurs Twitter have put Hojbjerg in the MOTM voting and left out Emerson. Not sure they were watching the same game as us.
Got the hockey assist for the goal, which was the one moment of non-meme quality in the whole match: he calls for the ball, plays it into the exact place Emerson needed it, and the ball moving faster as a result did the rest And that's our biggest issue: we are so slow at moving the ball, not just with the sideways passing, but the way we always play it to the feet of static players. The one time we didn't do that, we created a bit of space to create something out of
I'm well used to being turned down, having been married to Mrs Conn for 42yrs I'm immune to a knock back
Hojbjerg probably should've been subbed, as he seemed a little off tonight Also, subbing off Skipp saw us lose the midfield almost immediately
This and the we score... that make me the MOTM and undisputed GOAT at RCLing And I say that in a modest way
