Jesus Christ, just put Firmino in defence.

Edit: Jones has been a lot more direct so far, carried the ball well and got in some good positions.

John Moss looks like he has been eating one too many pies during lockdown

What is the point of Sheffield United. They are already going down. Might as well enjoy the rest of it and try and play football.

If I was a fan I would rather be finishing in and around the playoff positions every year in the championship than watch turgid boring football every week in the Prem.

He is the same age as Guardiola and only two years older than Ole yet he looks like a 60 year old.

Did Jones just try a rainbow flick?

 

[manic111]

This is the first time I've ever seen Ramsdale be even half decent. Of course it's against us

 

[omnomnom]

Ive said for a long time these refs are awful. Only just seen that handball. Thats just criminal...it really is a poor decision and if what Shaw has said is true then wow.


Nice Kabak

Lucky, Kabak's a mess.

 

[Mark1989]

Literally saved by offside there, Kabak isn't impressing me that much so far

We jested, but I’d genuinely rather have Mustafi

 

[manic111]

To be fair, Kabak's a kid who's been brought in to save the day, and been thrown straight in. I also assume he doesn't speak the language. He's not been good so far, but he's come in in a pretty shocking situation.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

That's pathetic from Firmino, a no look pass rather than a shot?

In this day and age especially with VAR being remote. The refs should be from a different country. No matter what you say there will always be some bias with a ref. Have an English ref to do the basics on the pitch but VAR should make the decision for the ref with the big calls.

The ref tonight has basically taken it upon himself to overule VAR.

 

[Mark1989]

In that position Bobby needs to shoot, going for the cut back then just wasn't on

I thought that at the time - at least he knows the league and the country

I thought his route to goal was pretty blocked to be fair, only seen it once though

Premier League should outsource it and bin off the PGMOL.

Based upon what I've seen so far, I'd be surprised if Kabak was kept on after his loan. Is there a reason why we havent played Davies yet?

I thought at start of Jan window as much as mustafi isn't brilliant he was a center back and free, I'd of taken him for 6 months so we least had a center back.

From what I've seen a lot of the errors, eg the mix up with Alisson, have been communication more than anything. His actual defending looks ok, and he's reasonably physical and quick. I'd hope he improves pretty fast as he gets to know the team, but if he doesn't I agree that he shouldn't be kept on
