I must say this has been a very enjoyable first half. Personal highlight was Kane's nutmeg on Rice for the second goal. It looks like Jose finally has the squad to do what he wants to do.

My personal highlight was being 3-0 down at the 80th min and getting a point

Have to say WH deserved that.

Don't really agree. Our second half performance was a joke. We should have come out and added three more goals but we looked like a different team. Scratching my head here.

Now theres a game Id pay £14.95 to watch

So you think it’s ok to condescend an official? That alone should’ve been a red card.

Not sure if serious ??

So surgery for VVD - they haven’t said how bad the damage is but see a few say it’s not a full tear , so not 100% out for the season but either way it’s a huge loss.

Also it appears that the VAR ref didn’t think the two footed lunge was dangerous - no wonder he has been suspended from games before

 

[Pin-seeker]

Not sure if it’s been put on here yet (loads posted since I was on last night!) but VVD is having surgery.

Yeah apparently he’s the first player ever to be injured & Pickford should be banned until VVD returns ?‍??

Changed the dynamic of the team just to put A half fit Bale on who missed a sitter 30secs before the equaliser.
WH had other chances you were lucky to get a draw

2nd half was much better??

Grade 3 tear *alledgedly*

Missed a sitter? He mugged the player on the edge of the box to get the chance and dragged it just wide when a last ditch challenge put him off balance.

Two set pieces and a lucky OG and we've peed it away. Mourinho is supposed be the master of defence resilience but while the likes of Sanchez and Aurier are still around he's got no hope.

There are a few who agree with him ,but not many.

What do you call a chance to score from 10yds right in front of the goal?
I call it a sitter!

That’s a full complete tear and 12 months out - don’t think he could have walked of there pitch if true

Did you see the pictures of him blowing for tugs just after the run.
He looked like he had run the marathon.

Yes I did. But his fitness didn’t impede him on said run.
it’s a freak result, but Bale was there to attack. The shocking defence are to blame, not ales apparently lack of fitness.

That was my initial thoughts but either way it doesn't look good

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Ha ha ha - great impact Gareth Bale...scuffed free kick and 3 goals conceded since he came on! You couldn't make it up!

Yeah just after he completely gave the ball away and started a counter

Soon as that first goal went in you crumbled. Your awful at the back but going forward amazing

So both things I said are true.
Missed a sitter.
Only half fit.

Jose taken them and especially kane to another level

He certainly has....?
