Barkley had 3 shots on goal in the first 12 minutes

Yes nice to not be infuriated by a gimp with a whistle killing our chances for a change , this was solely our fault , we bottled it.

Yep got the handball spot on without the need for VAR to fail to save us.

Calming down. Interesting debate online re Sangare’s performance. Anyway:

Positives
- We were the better side creating numerous chances.
- Murillo had a very decent game alongside Boly.
- Lovely move for our goal.
- Sangare and Yates gave a good platform for MGW to pull strings.
- Sangare at times either oozes class or is languid depending on your view. But he didn't get caught in possession, was very progressive in his passing, won the ball back at times and headed a couple of 1st half corners clear. Its clear that he can play and I'm warming to him. However....see below.
- Away point in prem.

Negatives
- 3 CBs, 2 Massive CMs 2 Full backs who are decent in the air and STILL a massive CB gets a free header at a set piece. Compounded by no marking in 6 yard box. Schoolboy stuff-AGAIN.
- Wood injury.
- Chances missed, game should have been over.
- Sangare looked gassed in last 15 minutes. Why leave him on? He's been out for ages. 1 sub appearance and then today. Or am I oversimplifying things?
- 2 point dropped in truth.

I think some reaction is way over top as usual- even, unusually dare I say, on here. We need to stick together, scrap hard to get enough points to survive and reset in summer with TWEAKS not 10 more f@(king signings and 6 new keepers.

As for subs. I totally understand why he went 5 at back as we were missing chances and they were going very direct. Just those b@$tard corners - again.

CHO should have come on 10 minutes earlier. Hope wood is not too injured!

CHO should've started, Origi once again added nothing.

I thought Origi was only second behind Neco in terms of MOM
He did really well IMO

Ultimately we didn't lose and two massive home games coming up - both winnable. Frustrating as it is, we can still pull away from this.

I really hope we beat palace.

Waking up this morning feeling a bit more rational about yesterday's game. If we get the six points tomorrow, can we outscore Luton by more than 6? I think we can. Lets face it, if Luton play out the rest of their season like they did yeaterday then there's a lot of teams who go there and beat them. We should have been 3 up had we had someone who could beat a keeper.

Each to the their own but I prefer actual output. I'm not entirely sure how once again missing a bunch of great chances can be considered doing really well? Not like was creating tons of chances either, I don't think he set up any great chances either?

Luton remaining fixtures. Before the final game they will likely only get 3 points more.

Certainly in the next 4 games they should only get 1 point, we have a good chance to leave a big gap down to them when they lose away to Spurs and then Arsenal and then City.


Tottenham Hotspur v Luton Town They lose

Arsenal v Luton Town They lose

Luton Town v AFC Bournemouth They draw

Manchester City v Luton Town They lose

Luton Town v Brentford They draw

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Luton Town They lose

Luton Town v Everton We hope its a draw

West Ham United v Luton Town They lose

Luton Town v Fulham Who knows on this one.

Reading Twitter it seems many would be very happy if we lose to Palace so they can go around slagging off Nuno again and asking for him to be sacked.

Whilst the individual mistakes continue the football is way way better to watch under Nuno.  


We beat Newcastle and Manure - before Afcon and Tavares injury messed everything up.

For me at this stage of the season it doesn’t matter at all if the football is better on the eye or not. It is purely about results. In some ways it makes it worse if we play well and keep dropping points. Whoever is manager i hope they are successful. I am not convinced Nuno is going to get us out of the relegation places we will be in tomorrow.
