Get DCL on.

He hasn't played quite well recently, but actually I think he tends to play better when he steps up as a sub.

this second half i’m going to die
( god bless people who are )

….was only thinking this morning that you rarely see Harrison around the 6 yard box & then he pops up like that.

We’ve had to ride our luck and we’ll have to ride our luck again in the 2nd half but getting that goal just gives us something. Without Doucoure we‘re struggling to get anybody near or beyond Beto but we’ve had a few set-pieces and I feel we need another to get out of here with something.

Nice to have DCL on the bench but make sure those thigh muscles are warm before he’s introduced.

Bloody awkward ain't he? I think they're scared of his speed too.

If he gets behind you, you’re not catching him like. Probably couldn’t drag him down if you wanted to either.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

Anyone else noticing Onana being too casual, not fully committing to challenges or even getting involved?

 

[Marius57]

That Beto offside was marginal and yet they are all acting like it’s a mile off. If it was other way, they would all kick off if it was blown immediately

I have to say other than the goal my takeaway from that half is the utter cheek of their fans calling us cheating b******s when they're facing 115 charges.

Incredibly Trumpy behaviour. Loudly accuse your opponent of exactly what you’re guilty of in order to nullify the whole argument.

 

[matty1878]

They could up it and turn it round, yes of course, but there is absolutely a perhaps unexpected window of opportunity here given no Haaland, Dias and now Stones. COYB.

they’re class we have to stop them anyway we can and keep fighting as we know we will be under the kosh

 

[larbert toffee]

They're a good side but we're making them so uncomfortable, hope we can keep this energy and passion up.

 

[MisterJ]

Brb. Off to the relegation thread to goad Davek

Wait till full time, please

 

[Librarian]

Lewin and Coleman on for me

He’s been a little detached and slow tonight yes .. not sure we have an alternative though

Agreed, those are actually the ones you want the linesman to wait for confirmation on.
If we scored they’re getting the lines out

Didn't Godfrey break his leg after the linesman let play go on, think it was a really obvious offside as well.

I also hate the idea that not blowing for offside somehow means it’s their fault Stones is injured. It’s literally just a minute or two of playing normal football, it’s an injury that could happen at any point and it’s not somehow magically occurred because it should have been stopped for offside.
