This stays business is getting worse and really offers very limited information. When is a shot not a shot. High possession percentage does not indicate control of a game

I won't be too unhappy to lose this and miss out on European football next season. Next season we'll have Tonali back, bring a couple of new players in, no heavy schedule, get our top players back, avoid the injuries and we could be pushing Man City and qualifying for Champions League

Gordon's goal was terrific as was the cross from Murphy. I've watched it a few times and I don't think that Murphy even looked up which is mostly the case. He just hits the cross hoping it finds one of our players which most times it doesn't

Would have laid money on Son putting that chance away. It was a deezgrace

Man United did well last night but unfortunately for them Arsenals defence were superb and snuffed them out. If they play that well against us and with Fernandez back we will have a job on our hands

Man United did okay really and managed to get beat

To be honest I'm not too disappointed about the results yesterday. I don't really want us to play in the Europa conference thing because after the highs of last year and playing in the Champions League it would be a bit second rate. It involves a lot of games often against poor quality sides and I think it would be better to concentrate on the PL and maybe domestic cups. I'm not sure that there are big financial rewards either I can't see players being excited about playing in the Conference or players wanting to come here because we are playing in it. The Champions League is a different matter entirely and I'd like to see us focus on becoming a regular top 4 side

Murphy was atrocious, again. A lot of the time he doesn't even look up before he crosses the ball, it's just hit and hope. Really needs to be moved on

Any win will do

I remember when Rafa bought him and a lot of the Stoke players were saying how highly they rated him.

Where was mad dog today?

Southgate wasn't selected because he was good, it was because he was the opposite of big Sam and wouldn't muddy the waters

Steve Cooper would be the best choice, the sooner the better and dispose of Southgate

I just wish that Dubs came off his line quicker. He is so slow to read the situation sometimes

I'm not convinced that we'll batter them. They have taken a few good teams to the wire recently so I'd be happy with a win without anxiety
