Why does that mean we needed to beat Forest? Out of the two fixtures we actually had a chance of getting something from we've taken 4 points- thats a good return. We could have and should have had more from some of the others too, but that's by the by. If we take 4 points each time we have 2 "easie...

The weird part of this situation is that when Tresor plays, he generally looks decent and an actual threat unlike some of our attacking players. A very strange couple of years with this lad and he clearly isn’t going to be a Parker type of player…..

Why did we need to beat Forest?

Well, the 10 more wins we are likely going to need, need to come from somewhere………

Ampth7

I f****n hate this league and Man City!!!!

Ampth7

Unfortunately, this type of fixture epitomises everything that is now so wrong with the Premier League.

If we played this fixture 100 times, would we even win 1? I genuinely hope that the 1 is today, but realistically, the odds are we get battered as per normal at the Emptihad…….

Ampth7

Hard to understand the last 2 years with this lad tbh! By all accounts he did more in the short time on the pitch from an attacking perspective the other night than everyone else combined.

Ampth7

I turned it off after 25 minutes last night so didn’t see the goals or outcome…….
Having read the reviews this morning it sounds like we were awful with too many players looking like they couldn’t have cared less?!?!
A strange way to stake your claim in the starting 11 for the weekend……

With Tresor not even making the bench yesterday, I wonder if he's taken another knock.

Yeah, to his mangina!

Ampth7

Getting completely overrun here. They can either play through the middle with their ball players or go long to Wood who’s winning everything.

Ampth7

I saw fat Ronaldo play against England in the Umbro cup in 1995. Didn’t know who he was at that point, but by the time he’d finished running our defence ragged, you knew this lad was special! Also seen Messi live in his prime playing for Barca; a ridiculous player to watch as he made adult professio...

Very interesting reading everyone’s thoughts and feelings on this. I personally do still enjoy some games that I watch and with athletes given all the tools and support they can possibly imagine, skill and fitness levels are now incredibly high. However, I do not like the fact that VAR has taken awa...

Yep, I agree, bin VAR, I don’t see how it has improved refereeing decisions….

Just watched Madrid game myself
Far from boring - 45 shots - 5 yellows and a Red for a headbutt

Nice! 45 shots!!!

I watched a bit of the Spurs and Arsenal games; thought they were awful personally and the crowd sounded a bit like Covid times….ie non-existent!

Ampth7

I certainly don't enjoy football like I used to, I only watch Burnley, I don't even bother with England games or any televised games. Usually hate the premier league but ive enjoyed it enough so far this season, I think because my expectations are so low these days. I don't get as emotional as I us...

Ampth7

Yes or no…..

If yes, what 3 things would you change if you were in charge?

If no, what do you like about the modern day game?

We've played one team that are more in our league

We did ok.

Yes, that’s true, but we do need to do that another 10 times elsewhere to survive and that will be very hard ho do….

Ampth7

The challenge remains the same; somehow we have to win 10-12 games across the season to stand a chance of survival. With that in mind, games like yesterday were a free hit so to speak with anything gained a massive bonus. The real challenge comes when we play those teams we are more likely to gain w...

I agree, Jamie Carragher is brain dead…..

Unlucky today but don’t forget who we were playing. Current Champions, probable champions this season and we almost held them. We will play a lot worse opposition this season. I don’t think Liverpool win the league this year and they are nowhere near their best at the moment! We simply cannot throw...

Ampth7

Such a shame! However, that’s twice now two players have made stupid decisions which has cost us points! Not good enough on both occasions and no excuses…..

An excellent performance from England so far! Literally cannot remember the last time that happened tbh.

Tuchel’s England have arrived!!

No, but he deserves it for being done by Kane’s “pace”.

That’s made me chuckle

Ampth7

Something is very wrong when these sorts of deals are happening. It’s just plain wrong and as someone else alluded to, what’s the f****n point in having an academy when you’re a club our size surrounded by clubs like the United yanks and City Arabs? I hope this lad doesn’t go on to regret his decisi...

Ampth7

My opinion has been for sometime that until England win something that it’s not unreasonable to suggest that England’s best available players are overrated. I also believe they are somewhat spoilt at club level with the quality of foreign talent they all play alongside for their respective clubs whi...

Ampth7

I agree. Which is why I think Southgate gets far too much **** than he deserves. Gareth Southgate led England to a final and two semifinals. That's a phenomenal achievement. I think it was two Euros finals if memory serves…… Either way, I think the last time I enjoyed watching England was probably ...

Ampth7

Personally, I don’t care who manages England…….I’m more concerned about playing these utterly pointless games against absolute s***e like Andorra. I just can’t watch it tbh, it’s so bad!

Ampth7

Messi is a once in a lifetime talent if not even less common than that! The numbers speak for themselves and very few can boast the same…….an absolute magician!

Ampth7

What now for Trafford? A light blue coloured Recaro seat at the emtihad……… He should have gone to Newcastle I reckon, because Pope is hopeless with his feet which would have given Trafford a better chance of nailing down the number 1 jersey. Alternatively, another season with us wouldn’t have been s...

I wonder who is happier tonight - Isak with his petty statement and big move or Guehi after his perfect goodbye being told his move was off at the last minute.

Who knows, but at least Guehi seems to have a bit of class about him!

Ampth7

8/10

Still think we needed an upgrade at centre back and in attack, but we definitely have a much better fighting chance of survival this time around IMO.

Ampth7

Wissa falls in to the same category as Isak along with several others such as Gyokeres tbh with you! It’s not a club issue for me, it’s the so-called modern day ‘professional’ footballer and their agents that are the problem here IMO. In both cases, Liverpool and Newcastle didn’t do anything out of ...

It is an obligation but I suspect there might be some conditions

Such as we don’t get relegated one would imagine….

I’m really not sure what else Newcastle should be expected to say tbh with you.

The way he’s treated such a great club who gave him his shot in the Premier League whilst paying him a handsome salary is quite frankly disgusting.

I can see Liverpool not turning up at the weekend.

Fingers crossed

Ampth7

So, both Isak and Wissa get their moves despite both questioning the integrity of the club owners. If a manager behaves in a similar fashion he gets shown the door. Just emphasises the power that big name players who can command a big transfer fee hold over even the largest clubs with very wealthy ...

Ampth7

Hmm, I suspect fear is not a feeling they are experiencing prior to playing us at the weekend

Ampth7

Luis is exactly the type of player we need in midfield. From what I’ve seen of him, he’s quick, got bundles of energy, wins it and then gives it to someone who’s better on the ball than he is. I reckon this signing will cut down the number of chances we are currently coughing up……..

Ampth7

The way VAR is implemented is the frustrating thing for me. When one of the so-called "smaller" clubs want VAR to intervene they don't seem to even look at it or dismiss it quickly to go with the onfield decision, but when it's one of the big teams needing the help of VAR they almost always get it,...

Ampth7

VAR got all the decisions right unfortunately. Hard to argue it's biased against us when they could have easily not overturned the penalty in the first half Have you seen the Chelsea v Fulham VAR debacle yet? Regardless of our game today, can you honestly say that VAR has solved the problem it was ...

Ampth7

The problem with VAR is that is not doing what it was created to do. I thought VAR was meant to eradicate human error, pick up things the ref didn’t see and stop inconsistent decision making by officials…….. We used to just have MOTD pundits picking apart poor ref decisions and now we have MOTD pund...

Anthony, what were you thinking!!!!

Just what is the point in selecting Henderson? He’s gonna be nowhere near the starting X1 in the World Cup Finals, staged in 3 hot countries. Just baffling. The heat will ultimately kill us along with just about every other nation that is not used to playing in these conditions. Exercising in extre...

If Kane gets injured there is a massive drop off in quality in the rest of the forward line.

Watkins is very good to be fair, but beyond that we are short of options…….

Longer term, someone like Delap might be an option, but the here and now suggests we are short of strikers.

Jordan Horrendouson?? Why???

Ampth7

Šeško is a player with great potential. He's tall, strong, fast and technical. However, he's gone to the wrong club. You may well be right, however, from what I saw yesterday he didn’t look quick at all, the ball seemed to bounce off him and he looked miles off it! Hopefully this continues this com...

On another note, could they be without a manager by the time Saturday comes around?
