    i have watched the game again this morning, if we had a goalscorer on the pitch instead of wood, we would have had 2 goals definitely
    and if we had a capable midfielder on instead of Longstaff, we would have had another 2 goals.

    I suppose its just the realisation that we are still only 1 year into the takeover and in 2 years time, many of this squad will not be here

    and we will be putting those kind of chances away and winning games like these

    However I will concede that the ref lost control, well didn't have control of the game at all. Bruno got kicked to bits.

    That was shocking.

    ASM was the biggest disappointment for me personally. He never plays well off the bench.

    Looking forward to signings.

    God bless you all and families for 2023 lads and lasses

    They came to frustrate and did just that. We will miss Trippier against Arsenal. They’re 2 up just now and with. Its drawing could be drifting away from the pack. Not that I had us down as title contenders.

    It’s true - Arsenal look good (and better than us at the moment). They’re currently ripping (a very decent) Brighton side ‘a new one’.

    A point on Tuesday would be a very good one. I agree we are not title contenders. This is talk from some media pundits who, as we all know, know very little about football.
    A top 6 finish would be truly exceptional for us this season but there is much to be done before that can happen, and a lot will depend on a certain Mr Isak when he returns.

    Yep-top 6 is probably the most realistic aim.

    We've shown, imo, that we have the potential to be title challengers...but not with this squad. When you've got Chris Wood starting and Jacob Murphy coming on (and Manquillo invariably having to face Martinelli on Tuesday) then it's remarkable that we're currently where we are. And that's not intended to dig those players out-it's just the way we are at the moment, lacking squad depth.

    Sorry, from what I saw today Longstaff had two pretty easy sitters that he should have put away. For me he's the weak link in the side.

    Cheers, man.

    You had a plan and carried it out very well. Needs must, sometimes-we know that VERY well after the last few years, Well, quite a few!!

    Good luck for the rest of the season-I reckon you should be fine but not convinced about Marsch?

    A point hrre isn't the worst outcome, I would snap your hand off for another one against Arsenal.

    I was expecting a win here and probably should have got one but this is a good reality check.

    Another cleanie on the upside. Our defense really is the best in the PL right now.
