[FriethBlade]

Not really, but he shouldn’t be there should he

So why is he our highest paid player?

 

[VwBlade]

Ramsdale committed then changed his mind. Cowardly goalkeeping

 

[toledo]

Holy crap, that was easy to go from 1-0 to 1-2... what the heck!

 

[Bladesman98]

Why’ve we given up our intensity already

 

[Bladesman98]

Just like Chelsea away unfortunately

 

[SLB]

Holy crap, that was easy to go from 1-0 to 1-2... what the heck!

Burke to come off second half yet. 6-1 this.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

* WORST EVER START TO A TOP FLIGHT SEASON CLAXON *

 

[drblade]

Our defence. WTF.

 

[toledo]

is this a July practice game?

 

[Big.Dane.w]

We’re all calling out for us to be more attacking but this is always the danger, I’d rather us at least try and press, play in the oppositions half, have a few attempts etc etc. Trouble is we’re just getting picked off with the high defence line, but we’d have been screaming at the tv if we’d tried to sit and defend the lead

 

[YES Blade]

* WORST EVER START TO A TOP FLIGHT SEASON CLAXON *

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Would honestly rather terminate Jagielka's contract while he's still on the pitch and take a points deduction for fielding an illegal player than willingly keep him on for another second.

 

[essexblade73]

Ramsdale committed then changed his mind. Cowardly goalkeeping

No he didnt. He came out then stood his ground you moron, did you want him to give a pen away?

 

[Lawrence]

No idea where we go from here?

 

[Bladesman98]

Just had to pick up an injury after going ahead didn’t we. The footballing gods hate us.

 

[Yogi]

No idea where we go from here?

We need reinforcements at centreback ASAP

 

[toledo]

The problem is that there were at least 6 times prior to the 2 goals that should have told us what to expect... the goals were so friggin simple..

 

[haich1889]

Defence playing a too high line, terrible, expect 5

What defence?

 

[JPSharpy93]

I think we either keep pressing really hard to prevent them knocking one over the top or we sit back and counter...which we’ve never successfully done before. So I’d rather watch us press and hope to catch them out again

 

[Dnblade]

Nice move

 

[Yogi]

Ampadu and fleck have combined nicely a few times tonight.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Holy crap, that was easy to go from 1-0 to 1-2... what the heck!

To be fair, we went from 2-0 to 2-3 just as quickly last season, and scored again.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Terrible corner from Fleck.

Always find it strange that a pro footballer has a dead ball situation and can’t get even close to clearing the first man....easy clearance away by Man Utd.

 

[essyoueffsee]

These two striker don't work together. You can't have to forwards that drop back/flanks then nobody in the box. Crazy

 

[ryza]

McGoldrick avoids using his left foot all game to finally use it for a 30 yard shot..

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

When’s JOC back?

 

[Lawrence]

Flecks having a shocker, really gone down hill, sad and unbelievable.

 

[JayGreen17]

Jags on push bash in mid? Disrupting the defence further... I dispair

 

[Geordie Blade]

I’m going to say it: I like Ally McCoist.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

We don’t deserve to be losing but our defence is as solid as a wet flannel
