Commentators couldn’t even figure out what the VAR check was for. They were looking at a non existent handball while a blatant push goes completely unnoticed, just like it was at Old Trafford

They’ll spend ten mins checking to see if an offside that never looked offside was offside. But won’t spend more than about 3 seconds looking at a group of incidents in a crowded penalty area.

You're not sure that a player like Montiel that didn't play for the first half of the season, but has now played 7 games in 5 weeks against better teams in Bournemouth (10 men), Arsenal, Man Utd and Newcastle wouldn't have benefitted from a break like Arsenal have just had to recharge?

Nuno was even pissed off after the Blackpool f*** up messing the club's plans for a break.

This isn't about how hard you work 6 days a week in a manual labour job, the bench mark here is the opposition's fitness and ours was way below the norm.

I said I wasn't sure that fatigue was the main reason we are struggling and I'm still not.
There are other issues, individual errors and poor decision making.

Let's also not forget that Turner was very well protected tonight for an hour or so too.

It doesn't take much for him to make a mistake.

Turner is a strange one because he lulls you into a false sense of security by making one or two really good saves and you find yourself wanting to believe in him.

Then comes the lack of concentration or naivety in a crucial moment.

It makes you think that the clock should just be stopped so no advantage can be gained from time wasting and bent refs

I don't understand why they can't work out a system similar to Rugby. Think there's a few good things they do which could work in football like the stop-clock, sin-bins (maybe) and mic-d up refs who are broadcast on the TV.

Time for some myopic optimism.

MGW takes a while to get up to speed with his flicks and spins, he'll be bang on it by the weekend.

T gives us options up front.

Elanga's pace will be unleashed.

We have two days extra rest than Bournemouth.

We will have a thing called a competent goalkeeper soon.

Everything is going to be alright.

Center backs were very good. Toffs played quite well. Neco was so so. Still not certain his brain is to standard. Montiel made a brutal error, otherwise ok. Mids were fine. Not certain I agree that MGW was one of the best players on the pitch. HE was adequate at best. I think he misplaced three passes, maybe four, and he got striped of the ball in a dangerous area once. Taiwo obviously did quite well, he did his job.

That's what happened tonight for me.
He seemed to have learned to kick so it was going ok for him and the team.
Then he forgets not to keep his legs open and let's in a goal a schoolboy should save.

The immensely frustrating thing is that we have the core of a very good young team. But it will get ripped apart if we go down and if do go down it will be largely because we couldn't manage to sign a half-decent PL standard goalkeeper. There are 2 days left to fix that and if we don't I really fear that so much promise will go down the drain.

No. You just know he is going to gift a goal to the other team, every time.

Like most things in life it's an accumulation of factors. Number 1 being the keeper is f***ing rammel! 2. Elanga is injured, 3. Our defence is in Africa and 4. Our energy is spent and of course we are naive and make stupid errors.

2 and 3 will sort themselves out in the coming weeks. Let's pray 1 is sorted out in the next couple of days.

Turner has to go. He isn't good enough. I was of the opinion he was a good signing. I was incorrect. This is way too many stupid errors. Keeper errors are naked, but this is too many.
