    It was a good goal from Silver.

    I will say that I have felt some pride today.

    It’s an odd feeling.

    I still think we will be relegated but at least it looks like we might show some fight.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Yeah, it's a really good goal.

    Just all that effort counts for nothing now.

    We've actually had a few decent chances, but our attacking play just isn't very good

    Don’t think we’ll be relagated. Lots of fight shown and arise has been excellent
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Antonio down with cramp.

    Ayew on for him.

    Should have done that 15 minutes ago.

    Rice caught out for both goals, IMO.

    Solid performance, but still a lot to learn.

    Sakho misses a sitter

    A great chance put wide but Sakho ;weep
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Great chance for Sakho after good work by Arnie, but he pulls the shot wide.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    And that is why Sakho doesn't start

    Not really a sitter Thorn.

    But yeah, should have at least tested the 'keeper.

    Don’t know he could have done much about the second really.

    Agreed - even if we lose I'll take pride in our discipline and work rate. Having said that it's a shame as we really need the points. It's more of a shame that there were matches we could've got a result from but we lacked this discipline - e.g. The palace game.

    Have listened to this on the radio.

    We seem to have a decent plan and have worked really hard to execute it. We have made it difficult for a superior side and given ourselves the best chance of getting something from the game.

    Whether we do or don't get relegated I feel better about our future.

    Yellow for Adrian now

    Maybe not, but Silva was the wrong side of him
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    It just had to show his ‘other side’ ;lol
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Final whistle.

    2-1.

    Not the ;deadhorse we had expected.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Super proud of them.
  • LukerzLukerz
    We’re gonna go down but at least that was a reasonable level of performance.

    So can Delph be done retrospectively for that dive?

    Or are the big clubs immune to that kind of thing?

    All clubs are immune. Dives only get punished retrospectively if they lead to a sending off or a penalty.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Problem was letting De Bruyne have all the time in the world throughout the game. I'm sure they must have know he runs the show.
    Pity we don't have any truly skilful players who can unlock a defence.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    That was more like it.
    This loss feels better to accept as we all predicted a far worse outcome...
    As said above , can't knock them today, pity we couldn't have knicked a point, but fair play to them.
    Main worry is more injuries today that we can't afford....
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I'm a bit 'meh' about that. It was a better performance, but where was that against Everton? Or Watford? Or pretty much anyone we've played?

    It feels like an empty gesture, almost. Giving your all in a game that we were always going to lose is pretty futile if you can't do it in games where we can actually get points.

    I guess the best we can hope for know is that we replicate that effort and work rate for the rest of the season and go down with at least some pride.

    Given the car-crash performance most were predicting, how strange does it feel to be a bit gutted to have lost?

    Adrian - HAS to keep the shirt, or I'm starting the Moyes out thread.

    Arthur looks better and better at LMF.

    Well done Moyes for the tactics, and well done to the players for their efforts in carrying them out.

    Thorn. De Bruyne is world class. If it was easy to mark him out of the game, lots of other teams would have done it.
