Unlucky today though, bar from Aina and offside by half a toe.
Maybe if Cunha was fit then we could have gone with the back 3. If it has to be Morato then there’s absolutely no point going with it. He lets every ball bounce and is a liability in the Prem
Totally.

Disallowed goal so frustrating but offside is offside. We've benefited from those before but not today when we really needed it.
But offside is offside? No, it absolutely isn’t. They show you a cartoon and expect you to swallow it as gospel. There is a margin of error in it all. But the biggest is what frame they freeze play at which they don’t show you. So it’s in the hands of a computer operator which we don’t have transparency over

Jesus looks totally lost right now, needs dropping. That we are relying on Taiwo and that he looks our best option is pretty desperate.
Finally, why anyone thinks Silva as our manager is a good idea is beyond me. That was negative insipid rubbish from them, he does that here fans will be calling for his head by the third game.
His side are eleventh with a fraction of our budget.

Besides, it’s ripping the heart out of the sport. I was all for using video assistance but this is an abomination.

Taiwo looked every bit a capable no9 when he came on. His style is his style - hes never going to play for Man City or Barcelona, but he did more in his first 5 minutes than Jesus did while he was on. He looks like he's recovered some of his pace too. He's not the total answer but id say atm he's out only striker able to affect games.

Also players are going down and staying down now after being on the end of a bad, but not a red card, foul to emphasise to the VAR the foul because they know it'll be looked at in very close detail. Whereas the ref on the field will just tell them to get up and get on with it.

To be clear I meant Neco or Aina starting as one of the three CBs. No Morato goes without saying.

Pretty boring game. Thought we probably just about deserved to win. Created the better chances, unlucky with Aina hitting the bar and the marginal offside (good finish by Ndoye). Can forgive Taiwo also missing a 1 on 1.
Would be starting Taiwo now. Possibly Ndoye as well. Not like our other wingers are doing much.

I thought Andersion had a brilliant chance too but scuffed his shot way wide........that was a good goal scoring chance.
Overall it was a decent performance and unlucky not to win. But considering we normally lose to Fulham then a point is a good return.
Most important game is next Sunday, and dont forget soon Leeds play Wet Sham.........everything to play for.

West Ham will be miles ahead and have a big cigar on when they meet.
