chippy

With such poor attendances, I can't see the Italian league ever being à great league again. Top players want to play in packed stadiums, not half empty ones. Been like that for a very long time now, so it seems like many Italians simply fell out of love with football and there's not much you can do about that. Happening in America too now with huge declines in TV ratings for their sports like Baseball and Basketball, with just a couple of million out of 340 million people watching these days.

A lot of Lukau's goals at Utd were against the weaker teams or when they already had games won. He was shire in the big games for them and looked miles below the level of the real top strikers like a Kane, Aguero, Salah et all. Yes, he scored enough for Everton and I'm sure Tammy would score well for a club the level of Villa, but thats very different from doing it at clubs chasing for the title. As for his exploits in Italy. Well, sadly, that's another piss poor league and easy pickings for flat track bullies. That's why I have reservations about Haaland or any more expensive buys from Germany.

Exactly! Apart from us continually messing up in and around the box when in great posustions, far too often we don't get enough players into the box.TT is too worried about us being caught short if we lose the ball so the balance between defence and attack is not how it needs to be. Regardless of who we sign in the summer, this is a major problem that needs fixing as there's no way we challenge for the title playing like this week in week out. As for Werner's future? I'd give him (and Kai) until next Xmas to start showing they're going to be good enough. One and a half seasons is enough time for any player to settle in and perform well.

I dont care what he does elsewhere, Lukaku showed at Utd he was not good enough for a team that wants to win the Prem. Most Utd fans couldn't wait to see the back of him so why should we even think about trying to sign him?

I'm actually quite relaxed about this game, more to than I was for the game against West Ham. In previous years, when we got this far it was nothing more than what was expected from us. Losing a CL SF back then really, really hurt. Of course, I'll be disappointed if we go out, but not like previous years, because really, if we're being honest, this current team isn't top four in Europe level. Its a big bonus for us jusr being in it at this stage and anything more would be an amazing, extra bonus. So yeah, for a nice change, i can just sit back and enjoy this one

There was a time when the Spuds fans could at least enjoy the nice football they played. We're more likely to see Halley's Comet again before these aerial losers win anything again.

Azpi got a bit of flack from some fans during yesterdays game, yet the guys on MOTD thought he played pretty well. Funny how people can watch a match and have very different opinions on who did or did not play well.

Yes, its quite odd how our really bad results and performances have come against the weaker teams. Outplayed by a very good Liverpool at the start of the season, a shocker at Arsenal and Leicester too good on the day are the only bad ones against the good teams.

Yeah, great game after his rare stinker on Tuesday.

Need our wide players stepping up as well tho.

Should have won by 3 or 4.

Huge, huge win!!!!

Needs to grow out not up tho.

I'm not enjoying our football under TT, but I'll give him a pass for this season if we get CL football. But a massive amount of improvement in our midfield and forward play is needed if we're to get any where near challenging for the title.

Keystone Cop of a footballer.

Red!!!

With the anount of games we're playing its not surprising. And to think many players have to play the Euro's as well after all this. Just crazy really and not good for football as a whole

Love the guy, but his positives are negated by his negatives.

At least we're making the keeper earn his wages today.

All strikers miss sitters, but I've never seen one in a top team miss as many as Werner.

Should have bern game over but now that miss has given new life to them.

I"m just one of this impatiant football fans who want Jam yesterday.

Go for a couple more then shut it down and save energy for Tuesday.

We had patches under Lampard which were at least as good as good as what we are seeing now. Get the fuck in Werner!!!!

We've had a huge problem with our midfield for 3 years now. I don't care which combination we use from Kova, Kante and Jorginho, it is simply not good enough!
