Lol we are actually gonna get relegated aren't we?

I don't think I've seen a team this bad in a long time.

They won't get relegated but now they're in the same position that AC Milan have been in. They bought some good players but none of them really help them win, and they spent a ton of money on flops as well. It takes some years for a team to recover from that.

I feel we are 5 years away from being 5 years away TBH.

Also AC Milan were never this bad.

Also rewatching the play I don't see how that wasn't a penalty. Anderson gets there first and Xhaka just trucks through him without any play on the ball. Even if you think it was shoulder to shoulder (didn't look like it) there's no way that wasn't at least careless.

Went back and re-watched it. I think that's a different situation. In this case the defender actually got his foot in front of the attacker and the contact was much more shoulder to shoulder as opposed to against the knee-thigh.

I can definitely see an argument for a pen, but I don't think it's a clear cut case like the one yesterday.

Nice goal from Martinelli though. Not really sure why he was in that much space by himself but the touch and finish were nice.

Most everyone wants a draw anyways so I am not saddened by that goal.

Sorry Jersey Fresh

Lol they haven't won literally a SINGLE LEAGUE GAME that Tierney has played in. They have lost or drawn every game he's played against top flight teams except two against Vitoria and Standard Liege.

The fullbacks look poor because the central defense is horrible. Simple as that.

He has started three League games. You can’t draw a conclusion from that.

We have looked threatening twice in the span of 5 minutes. I consider that to be an accomplishment!

Pepe has looked pretty dangerous at times this game and that was a really nicely taken goal.
