Exactly we might get 4 points in total and ETH will be sacked, no good people defending him, he had one purple patch season in Europe and still lost a 2-0 lead in a CL semi Final to spurs, he’s no messiah and never has been.
Not sure it was an awful blunder - we were much better when came Eriksen came on. At least until we collectively shat ourselves.
Can't see us sacking him - and who would we replace him with. Knowing our clowns, they'd approach Frank Lumpard or Mark Hughes!
Yes but there were better candidates to give the hook to - Mount and Fernandes were beyond poor
Really? I thought Eriksen came on and did well. We looked far more dangerous with him on. It just left gaps for Gala to exploit, which they did.
Mount was doing well and it would be a strange decision to take our main creative threat off at half-time.
Sancho's ceiling is irrelevant given his attitude. Ravel Morrison had one of the highest ceilings I've seen in a player but never got close to it as he threw his career away. By the same token, Sancho hasn't gotten anywhere near his ceiling with us, right now he could have made the right forward position his own but he was too busy not training properly and then publicly calling out the manager.
Eriksen has faults for sure but last night when he came on he gave some very good passes and we were far more dangerous until their 2-2 goal. I don't think we have any other player in the squad with the vision that he has.
Eriksen was good but my issue is with who he replaced....
Bruno has the vision, just lacks consistency.
That's my thinking. The defensive unit is in shambles but with Shaw, Bissaka,Licha, Varane out most of the time it makes sense.
But do we really play anything else? Last night both goals came from counters and we barely have more of the ball regardless of who play against. When we face good teams we don't have possession.
It was the right substitution, Mount was having a good game, and you don't drop Bruno when you're chasing a game (which is frustrating in various ways, but it's just the way it is). It's not like Hannibal was having a masterclass in any case, it was a fine sub.
I'm trying not to feel this way.....
I thought that when the group was drawn sadly, but let’s see. We did win at Sociedad and Betis last season, then play our best at Barca. Need that grind again.

1. Lindeløf has played decent at right back, and does understand the basics of holding the line AND playing as a defender because he has done it his whole career.
Three wins is going to be a very difficult ask. Our away record is even worse than our home one under Ten Hag. Our team lack the character and belief to go away to the big atmospheres and get a result. It's like they are intimidated. Add to that our defence is absolutely horrendous. I can't see us getting out the group to be honest, and I'd rather finish last, can't be bothered with this Europa crap.
We've played toe to toe against a team full of rejects from big leagues and we've lost. That's truly depressing.
Yet people will actually try to have you believe that we played well, controlled the game and were extremely unlucky not to have won. It was a nothing performance.
The frustrating thing is that it was a game we deserved to be winning and we completely deserved to lose it by the end.
Minds have been made up about Mount for many people and they refuse to recognize what their eyes are actually seeing on the pitch.
I actually think Galatasaray were quite terrible. Their midfield was disjointed, their defense was all over the place and their attack seemed to have very little coherence. We were basically beaten by a poor side playing poorly.
For £55-60m with 12 months on his contract and number 10 you would expect better stats than 1 assist so far, he’s been poor to average at best, works hard, but has very little cutting edge right now and he’s nowhere near the England Squad in that midfield conversation, right now D Rice, K Phillips, C Gallagher, P Fodden, J Bellingham, M Elise, J Ramsey, and even James Garner are better options. K Mainoo will bench him and maybe Bruno too.
He's only played 4 and a half games! Christ on a bike...
With respect that’s absolute horse shit. How often has Mount even played in the number 10 role? Also what does the England squad have to do with anything?! Southgate selections are a nonsense, bizarre thing to bring up.
Yeah you haven't got the first clue mate and are making it up as you go along at this point. But don't apologise for your English, it is absolutely fine.
Firstly he doesn't play No10, if you are not aware Bruno is our 10, you need to go to the opticians pronto.
