At worst he should’ve come on instead of Donkey

If we win all our home matches it's over : 7 games (out of the remaining 12) at Anfield inc. Arsenal.
Performance was slightly better tonight, but concerning that we can't trust Elliot, Nunez, Tsimikas with any real minutes.
Today we dropped points because we don't have a number 9 that can play 90mins games (or score open goals).
Anyways, it's not a bad point given the performance.
Just gotta keep our heads. This is not Man City chasing us down.

He's a threat in the same way a gay fella walking behind a woman on a dark night is. Shes worried, but there's zero fucking danger
We were on tnt
Was on TNT for us.
Prime for me.
Losing Bradley is a nasty thing for us. With no Gomez it is Trent or bust. Ironically, the decision to bring Bradley on was wrong in this game. It was madness. Trent was grooving more than he has in ages.
From this shot, it does seem mad anyone would pass. Slotting it down the side of the keeper would've been the easier option.

Did we tell him we were selling him 2 seasons ago?
He might if he bought them. It's like classic mourinho. Comes in to a club, calls someone shit and freezes them out.
The thing with Cheezy is while he's still clearly off form, but at least you know he'd be direct and will take a shot when given half a chance.
Nunez instead now seems more comfortable running back helping out in defense. LOL
Maybe we should turn him into a WB or DF if he enjoys it so much.
How much did we pay for this clown again ?
I thought Trent was fucking dreadful; then he scored
Was a crappy thing to do. Mo wouldn’t have even seen Nunez. He has to take it, that’s why paid 60m. Infuriting decision.
Fucking bezos
Slot said Trent can’t play more minutes then he did today given the recent injuries
It’s always dangerous subbing on a player who gets up and down the pitch. The warm up to start a game is massively different to when coming on.
I thought Jones played well today, esp. in attack. Unlucky not to score and assist.
Szobo on the other hand ... it's very difficult to assess how much he impacts the team, he runs around a lot, he does win back possession but more often than not he fucks it up at the end one way or another.
Gravy and Mac for sure, but Jones or Szobo (or all 4 again?) vs. City? Very tough call to make.
Yup, the substitutions turned the tide and gave them more impetus to nick it.
Szob wins and loses possession in equal measure. If it's a net equal then it's pointless. If he offered goals or assists then I could happily overlook, but he doesn't. He doesn't even offer pre-assists.
I'd probably start him against city annoyingly though. He runs, so limits passing lanes.
I'm in bit of a limbo over it because whilst he takes the selfless option, he also narrows the chance of a scoring opportunity despite the pass being weighted perfectly. Still, after seeing the pass played out, Darwin had to score that.
He used to at least run around a bit
Quansah at right back from the 70th then
Yeah although defensively there was still a risk (and Villa were targeting our right side since Mo was AWOL so it was always 3 vs 1 or 2) and Trent was doing his jogging back trick again - he seemed to be in the groove going forward and Villa were making it easy for us to exploit their right hand side.
I wasn't ready to sub Trent off for once.
Gotta hand it to you tbf, describing West Ham and Brentford at home as "2 London derbies" is some excellent spinning 😉
They play Fulham and Chelsea before Brentford. So FOUR London derbies
