Dreadful

May as well have watched the Mrs Browns boys Christmas special…..

Sure

May as well have watched the Mrs Browns boys Christmas special…..

Surely it wasn't as bad as watching that

 

[everton1953]

They had more players out than us.

Oh. Who were they?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Well whoever saw that coming?

That’s what my wife said!

 

[Liam-EFC]

What we need is more chaos!?!?

Do you not remember the last 10 years…

Changing a manager is not the answer. Whatever you think about today, we’re still massively better than last year

Bill, that you from beyond the grave?

 

[Parker]

Why would they fix it for a championship club instead of a team that has been ever present in the Premier League and one was of the teams that created the Premier League.

The officiating is really crap.

Its way too consistently crap to be the odd mistake. The rules are applied when they feel like it, not a clue what the agenda is but these arent mistakes.

 

[Neiler]

Mixed emotions, would have been dissapointed with a point before the game, but after that performence - we should have been beaten.

If you want to compete for Europe you have to win those games.

 

[blue to the bone]

Left the two players on who were doing far better Dibling & Alcaraz for instance!

Dibling was in the 90th minute but could have left him on for injury time
Alcaraz was utterly dreadful.

 

[Eggs]

This lineup has goals in it.

….finger on the pulse, Zat.

 

[jceverton]

Honestly what’s he supposed to do? His 5 top players out the team and not one playable full back in the squad

Pretend he's in a relegation battle and play like last season maybe?

 

[Joey66]

Dibling was in the 90th minute but could have left him on for injury time
Alcaraz was utterly dreadful.

Best front two so let's take them off ....

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Oh. Who were they?

They had 8 out, including the only player I'd take from their squad. Esteve

 

[ftk43]

Could've gone either way really, but their biggest chance was offside at the end of the day. Great save by Dubravka to deny Barry but most importantly, that 100% should have been a penalty and I feel like were cheated out of one. That was worse than the Arsenal one.

Barry should be number one in the striker pecking order until we get someone better.
Dibling is not all that, but should be considered as a substitute before McNeil when the main players come back.
Alcaraz lacks footballing intelligence to be a PL level player, I fear.

All in all, I'll take a point given how depleted the squad is.

 

[RomanReigns]

if we don't score a goal how can we expect to win a game?

 

[HappyJack]

And heaven knows we're miserable now

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows McNeils got me down..
