I think Dunk pulled rank.

Again.
It's embarrassing.
Absolutely f***ing excruciating.
Has the bloke got no self awareness at all?

To be fair, remember our first season in the PL? We were just as defensive as Ipswich were today, if not even more so at times - games went by with Dunk & Duffy heading the ball out pretty much all we did. We’d have been chuffed with an away point at a Top Ten, ‘good footballing’ side. Expect Ipswich feel just that way today.

Not sure Mitoma isn't colour blind - think he couldn't see them in their purple shirts and passed them the ball three or four times!
No Pedro no party, and first game we noticeably missed Gross giving our attack purpose!
Can see why we fancied their manager, though, and it was a fair point in the end.

Focusing on the positives - Baleba and Ayari were superb in parts and will only get better.
Aside from a poor touch to give the ball away.
Ferdi K. looks like he will offer a lot of energy and purpose.
JPVH was class again and is capable of an incisive pass forward to break lines rather than taking the obvious option.

Plus was Baleba
Negative was despite all those price tags no one stepped up for Pedro
I guess we’d not be worrying if Mitoma had put away those simple first half chances

I cringed when Hurzeler got it - a 3-0 win over a terribly poor Everton side, an incredibly lucky last minute goal over Manure and if Declan Rice hadn't been a silly boy, we would have come away with nothing from the Emirates.
FH still has a lot to learn and the honeymoon period might be coming to an end. Still a very good start but the two home games should have been the reverse - draw with United and three points today.
Next week will certainly be tougher against Nottingham Forest after their incredible win at Anfield today. Sky have chosen a good match.

We kept passing to him with pace-less lofted crosses and in the first half awful-first-touch daisy cutters.
It's pathetic that he is still taking free kicks, especially one in that position at that point in the game. It was so obvious he was just going to twat that into the wall, as usual.

So 4 games in, unbeaten, 6 goals scored, 2 conceded, 2 clean sheets, played Arsenal & Man Utd and currently 3rd in the table, and we’re “shit”, “moronic”, “terrible”, “really, really bad”, oh and “Dunk can f**k off”
Nice!

Yep, lots of positives but still incredibly frustrating
Ayari is a revelation and Baleba is a beast, now my favourite player. Ferdi might overtake him…

But they didn't even defend well. We just made absolutely awful decisions.
I think most people are talking about our performance in this game, not the season or as a team in general.

I don't know, but his body language seemed to very much indicate it.That said Encisco, didn't appear to strike the ball at all well since he came on..... and it was quite close to get the ball up and down anyway. I was most disappointed with Mitoma his form seems up and down.

What concerns me is that we had no Pedro, Wieffer, or Gruda available at all, and Estupinan was only on the bench. I know they traveled during the week, but does that mean that we drop players after almost every international break?
