really need to keep our focus against this lot. we're better than them but we are letting them find ways through us and they've a goal threat

 

This ref needs binning. This is a competitive game and he's isnt up to standard at all. 

I don't like how we just give Villareal control of the game in the last 10 minutes, atleast try to threaten with counterattacks during those periodes.

Rudiger reminds me sometimes of Pepe or Ramos, he’s got that “reckless” streak in his game that sometimes can cost a red and, most importantly, can injure the other players. He’d do well to reign that in.

That is only in severe cases. Most players can return much earlier.

Their team is so snide as well. 

Proper sh*thouses, rolling around without even touching them...

Take Time Tommy To Tighten Timo's Touch.

Timo Werner. The German Robert Fleck.

He has the need to clear the ball which he had done before any contact, it shouldn't be just his responsibility to avoid contact...

It's the force of the tackle, not the tackle itself. He didn't need to go into that tackle with so much force, it was unnecessary.

Need more control second half.

Half way there ladies and gents!  We really need a second goal, purely to settle my nerves.

IF its a broken clavicle 6 weeks until he gets back full range of motion and can start light training, but no serious sports before 12 weeks. At least that's how it was with me and I was a few years younger than Hakim is now.

Pleasepleaseplease, not another repeat of comparing those two. 

Rudiger should play his game, he should ignore the yellow card they gave him, but he should be careful.

Controlled the match till the last 10 mins. Gutted for Ziyech, he’s looked like the player we all thought we’d signed last season. Rudiger making the stupid challenge ignited their fire and we were fortunate to go in,in front. Rudi has that in his game, yes he won the ball but at no time during his career has that been a challenge that is allowed…Chopper would have given it the thumbs up.

That's a break though, a bit different from a dislocated shoulder. I would be shocked if he has broken anything from that incident.

We lost the game right after our goal. Have to adjust now.

Quite frankly I can't even see how he dislocated his shoulder either.  It was a weird injury.

I was answering to the question about the break. 😉 I obviously hope you're right though.

Surprised Kante didn't control that one.  

Sloppy start. Come on guys, we need to get in control!

If he comes a second later he maybe doesn't get to clear the ball, hard to decide what is necessary and what is not. 

Close from Kai. 

Anyone else worried for Timo. He just doesn't look like a good player. 

I still don't understand what Zi did to his shoulder... 

Nice long range pass from Zouma, and Havertz almost!
