That may be the case. And I’ll happily accept that if it’s clear. But it absolutely wasn’t made clear on Sky.

Fair enough, but they didn’t show that conclusively on Sky. They didn’t have a clear picture of the line being drawn from the ball.

Because as long as he’s in line with or behind the ball being played, he’s onside.

I’m not sure that’s conclusive. They certainly didn’t draw the line from the ball. They definitely didn’t give any indication on the TV that that was the case.

Compared to where the ball was played from?

We need much more clarity on what that decision was. They didn’t seem to draw the line from where the ball was. Quite honestly, it looked plainly onside to me.

At least this is a much more positive line up. Hopefully the two youngest lads can step up.

And you did your usual thing of taking what I’d said and manipulating it, rather than engaging in any meaningful discussion. The bit you highlighted was a conversation that I’d have with a friend, defined by the quotation marks, so clearly that element was an opinion. But yes, you are willfully...

Which is why the senior players need to be able to read the situation as it develops and pick the best option. Playing Baleba in there was suicidal with everything happening around him. And I think that’s the big issue. Last year Steele was made to look good with the ball at his feet because of...

Either way, he shouldn’t be receiving the ball from Steele there with his body position as it is.

There’s nothing wrong with it? Sure… if Caicedo’s there, or Gilmour, maybe. But Baleba hasn’t shown that ability in those areas yet. His body position is totally wrong, which Steele, the experienced pro, can see. This leaves Baleba one pass to his right to a kid he’s not even looking at or a...

I’m not a fan of the club’s ticketing policy to be honest. And, as we’ve seen multiple times this year, it often leads to many empty seats at games, and the subsequent loss of sales elsewhere on game day. But whatever. Now we’re Premier League we don’t have to care about fans as much.

Thank you for your usual patronising response, I really appreciated it. Firstly, it’s not about his effort, it’s about his quality, or lack thereof. You claim he couldn’t have prevented any of the 4 goals last night, whereas I’d argue all 4 of them were at least partially his fault. A good...

And this is the biggest issue with Steele. There’s no expectation that he’ll do any of the goalkeeping stuff, so rather than sticking with the clear upgrade we end up in this vicious cycle of incompetence with him, where half of us say it as it is (which is that he’s not good enough) and half of...

Oh, I know, trust me.

It’s this guy again…

I must say, seeing that team concerns me massively. But fingers crossed 🤞

Or in goal?

I’d keep going. I’ve not played it in years but it’s one of my favourite ever games. I believe I had one crash in the whole play through though… which helps.

South America’s great to watch football.
