Looks a worse result after the weekends other results.

I think it's probably the perfect glass half full/half empty weekend of results you could get. Perfect fodder for the bed wetters Vs happy clappers.

Well a draw always would be?

It wouldn't have been on the last day of the season against Villa. :)

A few things I didn’t get watching yesterday,

Ashley young comes on hwtf did we not target him and get the FOC sent off.

I get the Bernardo substitution, but Mharez??
Still a point off the top at the end of the weekend, so not bad, given we still look ring rusty,

Surely it looks better a point closer to the top..

Don't do it to yourself…(United are shit, the Titanic is at the bottom of the Atlantic).

Whoops

Away games are never easy.

The 6-1 at Villa Park just three seasons ago was pretty easy. As were the two 6-1 wins against both Norwich teams in 2011-12. And a couple of 5-1 wins at Shite Hawk Lane spring to mind.

We're second in the league, with the best goal difference, most goals scored, almost the best defensive record in the league too and 5 points ahead of our biggest rivals.

Of course, a win would have been even better, but still...

How? We’re a point nearer the top and Liverpool, who despite the media telling us otherwise are still our main challengers, did not gain ground on us.. despite arguably having an easier game

Everton away may be easier for us but not for them. 2 points from 3 away games compared to our 5.

I’m simply comparing Villa and Everton and I think Villa just about have a better team

Not much in it. To be honest I think it’s a poor performance and a poor result given how bad they have been this season. We had won 9/9 against them before this one. I’m not sure how we manage to go from so good to so average in the space of 3 days. CL probably got something to do with it.

Shame we aren’t 2 more closer though hey?

foden poor.

Walker really poor.

Odd subs.

Frustrating.

Foden wasn't poor. Just because he didn't beat three players and roof it doesn't mean he was poor. He's doing a specific job out of his best position - immaculate touch, accurate passes and rapid at closing down the opposition.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

After six games last season we were 13th. This is a better start than normal. Our chances missed ratio will come right down this season.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

If any of our players read some of these fans forums they'll probably think that we have some bottler bedwetting lightweight fans who turn on the team unless we're scoring four or five.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Only read about 3 pages

That will do.

Some entitled, bitter turds on this forum.

No need to be nasty, we all need a voice ;-)

I agree, all this name calling sucks, like school kids.

Okay then if it’s so blindingly obvious, why do you think the best coach in world football has stated his reluctance to make many changes to a team chasing a goal?
They didn’t score a winner by the way because players stopped after the early all be it wrong whistle so he didn’t score.

Exactly, play stopped and Ederson half heartedly tried to stop it with one hand!

This "goal disallowed" narrative is fucking embarrassing!
