[Dario Terracotta]

mcneil is by far the fittest player

if we had 11 mcneil's we would be winning the league

We wouldn’t,but we would be nowhere near sweating on these last two games

They all look to have good levels of fitness since Dyche came in to be fair. It's the tactics, rubbish players and terrible subs that are the problem.

And actually warned Dyche for complaining about Guardiola going AWOL.

Didn’t see that Andy mate,it’s a joke,saw a corner at the street end and Taylor was having a cosy chat with his mate Haaland

Foreign guy in the press area near me asked why the referee was boo'ed before the game when his name was announced.
I said, "watch the game pal, you'll soon find out why."
At the end of the game, he turned to me and said, "I see what you meant."

We did quite well against all 12 of them.

Not down-hearted, play like that in last 2 and we’ll be fine.

Was always going to be a huge ask today. 4 points minimum form the last 2 games required.

If our beloved neighbours throw the match tomorrow night, where does that leave us?
what do we think?

 

[bnz]

Blaming Holgate for that 2nd goal is properly brainless. Massive centre forward has got between the full back and the centre half and its on a plate for them. You'd expect most decent centre forwards to finish that cross. The poor header and lack of 2nd ball is were the goal has come from.

 

[Ibby]

Gutted Everton lost

They won’t, not with Newcastle drawing and Brighton winning

They won't 4th is very doable. I want it to come to the final day, VAR might self destruct having to choose between ManU and Liverpool

 

[m hart89 efc]

Just a few things that annoyed me today:

The rumours that Pickford had been pre-warned about time wasting.

The referee changing the rules to allow Foden to stay on the field after receiving treatment.

The referee looking starstruck by certain City players and wanting to be their best mate.

Pickford practically telling Gundogan to shoot to his right by leaving the entire side of the goal open. That dive to try and save it was ridiculous.

As much as I like pickford, his kicking is woeful and not spoken about enough.

 

[blue to the bone]

To show how much xg is absolutely nonsense.

 

[degsy]

It's a free hit said almost everyone...then whinge when one of the best teams in the world, nevermind Europe, does you like Ali doing his Bum of the Month on no mark challengers...and we weren't Chuck Wepner in disquise.

Brighton & City = Nul points - and we get 3.

Another game clicked over, we were above the drop line before and we're Still above the line and there's now only 2 to go - For the other three teams as well !

One Game at a Time.

 

[dublinbluenose]

We've done well to squeeze 3 points out of Brighton away and City at home. Just pray DCL isnt injured. We're basically Stockport County without him.
