    How a team as poor as Swansea have been today and still managed to score 3 goals is incredible.
    Swansea were so open down both flanks it was embarrassing.

    Leeds still have to go out and exploit that for 90 minutes though for us to realise how open they were, if they just took the lead and sat back then the flanks would’ve been fine

    Annoys the **** out me that we know there is a fire alarm at Stockley Park and we are sat at home and the paying punters in the ground hevent been told. Would take 10 seconds over the tannoy when the ref stopped play.

    Great save Onana, he had to score there.

    2 quality players. We had some team that year mind. Rotten luck with injuries absolutely killed us

    No shame in that considering where we'd been for the previous 4 years. Just a shame we ****ed up the summer transfer window that followed...

    Yeah totally

    The summer window you mention was frustrating for sure, too many longer term prospects than starters however, it did bring us Jobe, Mayenda also came in then and I think he's going to be class for us in the nxt 18 months or so

    Agree. They ignored the here and now and focused too much on the future. Am sure the likes of Mayenda, Seelt, Triantis etc will come good in the next few years but we needed more than that last summer.

    Hey ho, top of the league now so shouldn't grumble.

    Clarke plays so narrow for Ipswich it’s like they purely signed him based off of his numbers

    Why are modern footballers so adverse to shooting?

    Looks like he's playing as one of the two number 10s. Crackers considering how good of a winger he is.

    Ridiculous when United aren’t playing a traditional right back either stretch the pitch

    I'd want him in the space behind Amad and the RCB.

    I can’t fathom how **** Hojlund is. I’ve never seen a player with such a big price tag be so hopeless in front of goal, he looks like he’s got no idea what to do when he gets the ball ever.I

    Doesn't fit them at all. Poor signing, can't see our sell on clause earning us much if this is how they use him.

    Must be kicking himself, it’s Deja Vu of the few years before he came to us. Playing off the bench and ineffective

    Hopefully this shows the players what could happen when other clubs are sniffing around - do you want to play in front of 40k every week or sit on the bench and get 10, 15 mins each week? Pleased that Clarke got his wish and is playing in the prem and the fact that the fee we got has helped the team as a whole but there is that "but........" for me
