6 dodgy wingers

Poor all over the pitch but as for Pope - words fail me. At fault for all 3 goals is all I will say. Gordon in that first half - time and time again he waited until Joelinton overlapped before turning inside and losing the ball. Why would you do that? if I were Joe I would be having a quiet word.

Yeah he is getting worse for me. I think you can make a case now that with everyone fit (if only) our wide players are by far our weakness. I watched the Liverpool game yesterday (for example) and Gakpo on the left side of their front 3 was so far in front of anything we have it was embarrassing.

To be fair Gordon has 3 in the champions league and 1 for England. But point taken.

I thought Minteh was the worst player on the pitch. Well after Elanga went off anyway.

Woltemade looks the real deal to me. Great touch, can finish, powerful, always wants the ball, good in the air, great movement. He looks a bargain already.

Great 3 points, nice to see the big man take the penalty too.

Two great pens for me, no-one was saving those. Are you sure you saw the game?

I dare say you are right, the keeper probably dived the wrong way because he didn't want to save it :shake: Joking aside I am one of Gordon's biggest critics but to be fair he played well last night and the penalties were very well taken.

Same Elanga that won man of the match?

Isn't that the best way to take penalties - to send the keeper the wrong way?

I don't get the hype about Pope the amazing shot stopper. If it weren't for Pope we would be 3 or 4 down. All that stuff. It was a typical Pope performance for me, he made 3 or 4 good quality extremely competent saves, which you would expect any premier league keeper to make, then chucked a...

Gordon for me, poor footballer and getting worse all the time even with "Eddies magic" working for him

You will never see a more obvious penalty. Kid had a big handful of shirt. How on earth is that not given?

You called it mate, don't like that line up at all. What must Thiaw and Botman be thinking? never mind big Nick.

Ok I took time to reflect before commenting but that challenge on Barnes was beyond belief for me. Blatant assault on edge of box, probably a goal scoring opportunity. Not even a foul. Can anyone explain that?

This German kid looks a good turn

All that aside here's a question. I wonder if Isak's Liverpool contract has a buy-out clause in it?

He didn't mate, but he wouldn't have got the deal he was on here anywhere else. He even got a massive pay rise when he helped sign Michael Owen because it was agreed he would always be top wage earner at the club. I remember it was said SBR tried to move him on but couldn't force it through...

I hate to speak ill of "St. Shearer" but he had an outrageously good contract for the time and his legs were gone. No wonder he hung around.
