Agreed. It created pressure. That can't be argued against. Looks like we got carried away because it seemed to be working. After Palmer had hit the post it needed a rethink, after the disallowed goal it needed changing.

Paramo with Nikwax is the best.

Tomori. Dream signing. Great age. Great experience. Jayden Oosterwolde. https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/jayden-oosterwolde-fenerbahces-speed-demon-in-defense/#:~:text=A%20stellar%20athlete%20with%20a,his%20own%20in%20aerial%20duels.

Keep all your shirts. Buy any you find in charity shops. They're becoming an amazing investment.

And we need to press for more than 15 minutes (which before yesterday we were doing) and, perhaps most importantly, stop giving the ball away. Certain players seemed intent on passing the ball either to Chelsea players or nowhere near ours. That's a warning. Persist with the high line by all...

Surely that's it for Ten Hag. They're repeatedly humiliated at home.

Palmer's quote absolutely savage. Just strips back the online tactical BS on YouTube etc down to the core, and something footballers easily understand. Just knock the ball over the top. That's it. I can't remember a quote as blunt and dismissive as that.

Incredible but almost unbearable. The boxing documentary is great.

Probably because if you sign 8 players some will flop. That's football. I suspect they will all come good, though.

The high line thing... It isn't about whether goals were scored directly from it it's about the pressure it creates. We weren't pressing effectively. Palmer hit the post from a high line and after that it was carnage. Pressure equals chances, mistakes, goals.

It should have been done pre game. But if I remember correctly it went post, disallowed goal, goal in about five minutes. At what point does someone go 'we need to get on this kid'?

I like Rutter. He looks easily as good as JP when he first joined. Ferdi will benefit from being given one position.

I also think it was mad not to pay closer attention to Palmer. You get a man on him surely? It's not like we don't have a track record of doing that. We've done it effectively with Odegard, Haaland etc.

He'll learn. He's also doing the leg work for about three players and playing in front of a defence over-stretched. That's no coincidence.

That's harsh. He's been one of our better players all season and his development has been great. Today wasn't his fault.

Agreed to a point but we do have a massive squad and have just spent the most money of any team in the world to improve it. We aren't the paupers we once were.

He looks panicked to me. He knows he is up against it. Our defence must feel under such pressure whereas under RDZ they looked like Buddhist monks.

I think 70% of teams in this league would think a draw decent enough at our place. What they will be doing is licking their lips at the prospect of the home match. Yup. There's a high a line and there is playing on the half way line. All for the former but the latter needs reigning in a tad.

Aye it's very different. From neurotic control to total chaos. Going to take some getting used to.

But after last season we know that's now a reality. For whatever reason players across the board are getting injured more regularly. We will almost certainly never have our strongest team available in less that miraculously improves. And why would it? Off the top of my head Newcastle have Botman...
