Someone write the club to play the Ghostbusters theme when he does

Hate to see a man taken down by his own comedic chops. Marshmallow is so good that if I'd thought of it, I'd have to retire from nicknaming afterward. Just won't get better than that.

Munetsi trying a bit too hard tbh

He's getting chances though!

 

[The Bear]

Think I'd be taking Cunha off now, just in case.

Can we make more subs? We've done three lots already haven't we.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Embarrassing retreat from that break with Sarabia, passing getting progressively worse and gave away a shit freekick in their own half.

 

[jd1981]

He’s done well considering the pitch is a bit of rocky road

 

[Alan]

It's been a long minute since I've seen Blackburn; I really didn't remember Ewood feeling so... dinky?

Fucking weak foul, there. Ref's been okay on balance but fuck me, someone's got to force these players to hit the fucking weights. Almost no point being strong if you can just flop over when the defender is stronger.

Really clean hit off the FK but right into Johnstone's chest.

Doc's been poor.

Sarabia should score.

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Sarabia. Bounced up awkwardly for him really.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Scoring or not, i love the way munetsi gets into the box, when he gets it together with cunha, should be awesome

Hwang looks in AGONY on the bench

 

[Alan]

I will fight anyone who slags Toti Gomes

 

[prawnking]

I will fight anyone who slags Toti Gomes

I don't mind Toti...as long as he's not the best CB in the back three

That was a great charge forward

 

[Langers]

Toti has looked a much better player since he came back from injury

 

[Alan]

I don't mind Toti...as long as he's not the best CB in the back three

That was a great charge forward

I sort of understand why he makes people nervous. He always looks more like he's flinging his legs around wildly than being purposeful, but he makes it work way more than he doesn't IMV.

Oh, and as @Langers has just reminded me, he was genuinely poor this season under Gitflip, but so was everyone.

 

[Squeak]

Sarabia really is wank...

 

[prawnking]

Sarabia really is wank...

I just don't think he suits English football at all

 

[Alan]

I just don't think he suits English football at all

Aye, just doesn't have a real position in the current tactical paradigm.

Munetsi has looked like a really good find, even *knock on wood* a bit silky with his passing!

 

[prawnking]

Penetsi surely!!!

 

[jd1981]

Very professional job done

 

[Dire Wolf]

That was one of the weirdest things I've seen on a football pitch!
