That chance for Bowen .... he tries a shot, skuffs it across the goal with just enough force that it misses 3 of our players all in a line just in front of their goal. Such bad luck

Personally , I think we'd have nicked that game if Paqueta and Emerson were playing . Alvarez's attempted long passes to Bowen and Antonio were dreadful.

Just to say that we looked much more comfortable in defence when Ogbonna plays . I still think he's far more composed than Aquerd and didn't really give Boniface a sniff in the aerial battles. Can you imagine how formidable Zouma could have been for us if he could play with 2 legs. Bowen was a hero ...

Couldn't get the ball from them for virtually the whole of the 2nd half and they looked far fitter overall with more energy . Even if we'd scored and taken it into extra-time , our players would've struggled to win it . Wonderful closing down forcing them onto the back foot for the 1st half even wit...

We've definitely rattled their composure , just hope the players have the energy to do the same in the 2nd half . Antonio has been a real bulldozer and forced Alonso to make that early sub, but credit to all the players giving their all.

Lopetegui out .

Thought I'd get in 1st before the DM outers get on the bandwagon again.

Modric still a great player even in his twilight years.

For a side with such talented players , Real Madrid are playing a very very low block.

To be honest they could have played another 90 mins and Arsenal wouldn't have scored. On that showing is Saka better than Bowen? He didn't make an impact on the game at all , and that last second corner was trash.

Makes me laugh people tune in to these things then take umbrage (fake or real)then plaster it in other sites for many others to see that wouldn’t have or couldn’t give a s*** about anyway. I give a s*** when there are people saying they are WHUFC fans trying to destabilise the club, whether by crea...

works both ways

So you think the squad that got us 3 years running into Europe and won our first trophy in 40+ years, plus quarter finals of Europa and EFL are dross?

It's taking years to get rid of the dross that Pellegrini lumbered DM with.

The Board, Sullivan, would never remove a manager because of "haters" in the fan base. Yeah many fans don't enjoy the football anymore but its not like we're 18th in the table and entire stadium is screaming for change. Moyes has done everything asked of him and more. He'll be a legend he...

‘The board, if forced by the DM haters to remove DM’ This implies the board has ever cared what the fans think and assumes Moyes leaving isn’t his own decision Well it seems they must have 'cared' because they got rid of DM for Pellegrini because they thought he'd provide a more expansive entertain...

So we'll get rid of Moyes, a manager who's had us in Europe twice, and then bring in a manager who specialises in keeping teams up by playing functional hard-to-watch football? Don't see it myself. That's why I want DM to stay because that is what we'll get as a replacement. The board, if forced by...

I still think Sean Dyche will take over if DM leaves . Great friends with the board , has PL experience of keeping Burnley up on peanuts, well organised in defence , and a relatively safe pair of hands. How much power has Steidten really got over managerial appointments and transfers? No-one knows f...

I haven't got a clue but maybe he's waiting to see how things pan out with Steidten. Could be other reasons and it's all speculation but the contract is there , he said so to the press and it hasn't been denied by the owners.

I don't know why people think the players dislike Moyes. I think it has been very obvious over the years that they don't just respect him, they like him. Not every single one of them, of course. But the vast majority and the collective have. It's the fans that don't. You don't speak for me (or prob...

DM said the contract is there on the table for him to sign , so I don't think one can blame Sullivan for 'dragging out' the contract agreement.

Know a couple of Everton fans, they think Dyche just turns the wheels and doesn’t build - but they believe Moyes does. Without meaning to re-open the debate you can see how they would think that from both their experience of him and the difference between West Ham from when he joined to now. Dyche ...
