You have to factor in Ramadan fasting effecting his and Ibu’s performances.

He was really poor today tho.

100% he looks exhausted.

Simple. Don't play him. If he has no energy it's not fair on him or the team.

[Buzzo]

Really bad. Much like a number of our recent games with the same 11 and same game plan. **** against Southampton and wolves, torn apart by psg, mediocre against Everton, ultra defensive against city.

We can’t win every game 5-0. Winning a league takes total grit and we’ve shown that.

We just need now to see it home in the League, and it been a steal at season.

The midfield looks gassed that’s the biggest worry, we need depth there.

[BobTheCharmer]

Hopefully Freddie’s finish see him get a few more minutes.

He'll never be seen again.

Do we though? As an explanation, maybe, but he's not going to stop that so it's part of his game.

What i was saying was that we've been playing pretty bad or negative football for a month now. This was more of that existing pattern.

The good news I guess is that Ramadan finishes before we play on the league again

Of course we do. Slot should have either put him on the bench or hooked him at half time. But fasting will have an impact on energy levels.

I was surprised we didn’t use the fasting break at 6:10 as they have done in PL games.

[pondus]

We won’t win the league if they turn up to games with this attitude. ****ing bottlers.

[BobTheCharmer]

We play so many pointless passes between the defenders and midfield. Safety first. Yet we end up just hoofing it anyway. I don't understand what our attacking plan is under slot. It's all very biege. Clueless.

I get that. But why not drop him occasionally or hook him. Like I said earlier, it's weak.

[Tatterdemalion]

I think the Ramadan thing doesn't fly. Other players do it too. And he's been doing it the entire time he's been with us, so...

Really? Come on, get a grip!

Thank god we’ve got 2 weeks to reset.
