    With two big games coming up for us next, I wouldn't be against Ralph bringing off some of our most important players at some point. Maybe around 70 mins.

    As plans go, it's more tactically sound than anything Ralph has ever offered so might be worth a punt.

    I don’t know what that young lady was saying about the game, but I could watch her every game (instead of the football).

    Sorry, I know City are great. But we are making it so easy for them.

    We’re not even as good as we were last season.

    Should have spent the Mara money getting Gakpo over the line.

    Guess Ralph feels the same as he's made no changes

    You bring up that Gakpo point as if you are pretty confident that it would have worked. I’m over 90% sure it would have made no difference. Leeds outbid us and he turned them down. He was expecting to go to Man United and didn’t want to settle. I doubt an extra 10m into the deal would have made a difference

    So many of our problems come from the lack of protection being given to the FBs.
    Last week Larios was overloaded with Everton always having an unmarked man at the back post.
    Today, despite that last goal coming from an unmarked player on our left, KWP has been put through the grinder.

    Well, you've stopped Haaland scoring, so there is that.

    Nope, I triple captained him on FPL so it was actually me that stopped him

    It was the idiot mittens that did it.
    Salisu not wearing his this half and Haaland almost got through to tap one in.

    It is what it is.

    Bringing on Elyounoussi and Djenepo should be a sackable offence

    Yeah we needed someone to come in straight away. Signing a youngster who clearly Ralph feels is nowhere near ready is totally unacceptable
