Stuck in the inevitable post match traffic but some initial reflections on today:
We are our own worst enemy. Gifted two goals to them today.
they are an awful side: a faded shadow of what they were just a year ago.
if Dier goes to the WC England is in trouble. He was quite simply the only person in the stadium that thought that header was a good idea.
we actually played fairly well. We were unlucky (woodwork twice) and it seemed like every ricochet and spin of the ball favoured them.
their much vaunted travelling support was embarrassingly quiet for most of that match. I acknowledge that it can be hard to hear the away section from the south stand, but you should be able to hear something, at some point.
The referee was extremely weak and quite frankly poor. So, a standard EPL refereeing performance.
the premier league has GOT to stop the time wasting that is robbing fans of hours and hours of ‘entertainment’. That second half featured a goal, multiple substitutions, multiple ‘injuries’ and flagrant time wasting and yet they added On just 4 minutes. Further, during the 4 minutes of added time there was further time wasting and yet the referee blew up after 4 minutes? It’s SO easy to stop, so why dont they do it?
