Constantly looked gormless in possession, and instead of trying to make an angle, he just jogged towards one of the midfielders, waiting until they were well marked, then very obviously and deliberately played them a slow hospital pass. He might as well have held a sign up.That’s his way of playing, followed by a wave and a point.I’m starting to find him ponderous and infuriating He's getting on my tits, too, for exactly that reason - drops a massive bollock, does an indignant facial expression with some angry pointing thinking we haven't noticed what happened.He's been crap since the England thing.

It’s a bit like the smaller version of them Italian stadiums that were tarted up for the WC 1990 and never painted or touched since. I went to see a Napoli game and it was a complete shit hole.
Its a 50/50 draw. If you finish 9th or 10th you play either 23rd or 24th. If you finished 11th or 12th you play 21st or 22nd, etc. But there will be a draw to decide which of the two possible opponents you play against.

Might have been posted elsewhere, but Unai's full post-match presser is a very interesting watch. Lots of praise for Buendia, also admits he got it wrong with the subs and putting Durán up front with Ollie.
I don't think playing two extra games in February is the disaster it is being portrayed.It should be against someone beatable and will get us warmed up for other knock out rounds.We will also have far more options for those games. Malen will be available, another CB aswell and all of Onana, Barkley and SJM will be back at start of February so the bench will be looking much stronger again.They all need to be playing against Spurs to get their minutes so I don't see us putting out a weak team, will be similar to West Ham.Rogers was hopeless second half but Unai says he was sick so I fully expect him to be on the bench v West Ham as the excuse of him being the only maverick ball carrier is a little less true tonight as I thought Buendia was really good in spells tonight so he needs some prem starts in the next month.After all that we still have a decent chance of top 8 if AC Milan don't win against Girona.
Special shout out to the (thankfully small) group of fans who decided to taunt the poor locals trying to get home from work with classics such as "if it wasn't for the English you'd be Krauts", "snail-eating ******", and the ever popular "ten German bombers" for some inexplicable reason.When they started the Munich one, they got told to put a sock in it and calmed down after that.
