Congrats!
Lot's of ref's mistakes for both sides. No pen for you on the first half.
May be foul against our GK before the penalty, second goal for you - clear offiside.
Genuine question as I like most didn't see it live and from the video posted earlier I can't make it out - who's offside for the winner?

No need to panic. Lo Celso started brightly but faded understandably. Ndombele injected some much needed positivity and now just needs to up his conditioning. With Bale and a new LB coming in (fingers crossed), we should start to see the likes of Sissoko, Winks, Lucas, Lamela, Sanchez (so, so poor in the air) and Bergwyn back on the bench. Another CB and a forward and we’re looking better.
Ffs you don’t want much do you ? ?

I think from what I saw, it’d have to be Lamela for possibly interfering with play, but I think he tried to avoid the ball knowing he was offside. Could be wrong though based on the stream I was watching.

Yeah Lamela is the only one who might be. Lucas certainly wasn't off when the ball was sent out to him and Ndombele wasn't off either.

But as Lamela didn't make contact it's a moot point really.

No need for this. The football has been crap and he’s entitled to his view. He will no doubt be continuing to support but needs to vent some steam.

Indeed - it's probably because I'm biased towards the fact that I've never liked Mourinho or wanted him near our club (for a number of reasons). But that's for a different conversation

Why does Bergwijn necessarily deserve to be on the bench?

Sorry but this type of crap started well before Mourinho even arrived. We've been playing like this since February 2019, which coincided with us being 5 points off city/liverpool to finishing 27/28 points behind them and barely scraping 4th.

I know people hate Mourinho but this rot has been here for almost 2 years. The only games we tried in, were *some* of the Champions league games that got us to the final, only for us to get to the final, play against an extremely poor Liverpool team and once again, show no effort.

This isnt on Mourinho, this is fully on the players. Mourinho can tell them the tactics he wants but when the players continue to be unable to string 2 passes together, i dont see why that is a fault of Poch or Jose. Thats lack of trying, lack of effort and giving up.

Really winds me up that people act like this is cause of Mourinho, we've been playing like this for almost a year before Jose arrived, but thats magically forgotten.
Nail on the head. I think, despite the run to the champions league final, there was stagnation settling in. The windows we didn't buy a single player really killed us I think. Poch wanted something fresh, he knew things were turning stale within the squad. For me that is on Levy, our current slump is on him too. We lost momentum at that time and Poch felt it. Mourinho is still feeling that same stagnation. I'm glad we've brought in so many players. The squad needed an overhaul, but only because Poch wasn't backed when he should have been.

This problem for me rests with the unwillingness of the board to invest at times when the managers have desperately needed it to push on.

I hope now, Mourinho, with enough new faces can inject some enthusiasm and enjoyment into our game. That's the nig thing that's been missing, our players haven 't seemed to enjoy playing in such a long time.

Remember when we stuffed Chelsea at Wembley, Son scored a worldy. The team was buzzing that night. That's what we've lost and Im not convinced Mourinho is the man to bring that back.

It looked very much like Ndombele was to me, but I only saw one replay.

Someone else said Lamela

Ndombele was behind the Lokomotiv player who had dropped too far in. If anyone it's Lamela who might be off by a gnat's hair but it's very close.
