I do think Sterling would have been a far better sub than madueke with mudryck moved to the 10, where he should have started. 

Instead the genius poch moved Palmer to 10, where he hasn't played well at all, yet Mudryk who has played well at 10 didn't get that chance. Poch is an idiot.

Yeah, I'm sick to death of Poch. Never rated him, wanted him to succeed but by now it's absolutely clear he's way past his sell by date. 

Even his biggest apologists on here have gone silent, which tells you everything.

I think he wanted Madueke on as he offers a late goal prospect yet only sees him on the right side so either withdraw Palmer (not likely) or move him to the centre. 

Though could also have take off Jackson I guess and had Palmer as a late false 9.

Not really mate, just cant be bothered posting and saying the same Sh*t every other game. I skip out the poch out brigade as its usually the same words arranged differently in every single post, they should probably get some ADHD or obsessive compulsion illness checked out.

not expected anything different from our squad. Just going to get to end of season and probably not give a hoot to be honest with you. It's a team that will need another season playing together, potentially one after that. Ive also said before this side, regardless of the manager need to grow up and take responsibility for results. Bar Palmer and a few others, the rest need to take a long hard look at themselves and buck their ideas up. They need to start delivering results consistently. 

Was thinking that we're dropping all this money on future potential but the model theyre using is a permanent growth model. X,Y,Z players will be worth 10/15 million more in five years time etc... Im struggling to think of a youngster bought in the Roman era that went on to huge success. Hazard probably... Do remember Di Santo for example was 16 million at the time. A wigan favourite from what I remember. Very few clubs have got away with the approach we're trying. I dont think the manager is the problem. I said very early on this season, Clearlake out. Nothing has made me change that position. But ive also not spent the season shouting and getting angry at people for the decisions they've made for players or manager. It's just making do with what we have. A talented group of players who show potential and a manager who hasn't yet got them all singing from the same sheet. 

 

 

We sent a billion to regress down to 11th place 2 seasons in a row

We are closer to the bottom than the top

Give your average fifa player a billion to spend and you'll easily get top 4-6 minimum

Wow

but f yeah, we just hit magic 40 points

Extended highlights of the point that takes us to the magic 40 mark:

 

No highlight of Sterling header miss though. Guess it was not worth showing.

 

100% correct for me, really appalling call and cowardice from the VAR not to help the ref and tell him he was wrong.

Slowing down a player by impeding him when the ball is away from both players is clear obstruction. I’m not sure what the fuss about that pen was. 

Cos he didn't imped him, a hand on the shoulder is not a foul. He didn't pull him. It was a craszy decision and you'd be furious if it was the other way

Agreed, not many players could have got to that ball but Mudryk is one of them. Ref and VAR got it right.

Yeah, more like elbow on Mudryk’s neck. 😂
 

I actually applaud the ref because he clearly took the time to analyze this situation and realized Mudryk’s speed to get around the player was impeded. 

Oh come on. Be serious now.

If memory serves me correctly Burnley was Pochettinho's 40th game in charge and we have managed 9 clean sheets in that time. That speaks for itself.

Exactly. Only a few minutes earlier a Burnley player ran into Cucurella who was subsequently carded and a free kick given. Don't hear any expert pundits bemoaning that one. Strange isn't it?

I think there must be drugs in our HT tea. Every single time HT kills us

Wish I had some of that tea during the entire game, just to take the edge off

Aaaaaaand we’re 12th

Should be 13th but Fulham almost manage to somehow lose to Sheff United and did lose to Forest. 

Showing they remain as useless as we are.

In theory, won a couple of games and we will be challenging for 6th or 7th. In reality, can't see us win half of the remaining games, when we can't put away Burnley playing with a man down

The games in hand are Spurs and Arsenal. So we’d still be 12th.

Tut tut Whitewall ... in the 40 games it is 57 ... LOL

On the plus side there have been 75 goals at the right end to enjoy ... which is a huge improvement on the 33 in 31 games that Potter managed (and only 21 goals in 22 games in the PL lest we forget how turgid it all was ... ), even if Potter's defence was tighter (probably thanks to having Kepa, Koulibaly and Dave alongside Silva LOL). 

Yes thank you Kepa. 😂
