When he does play Piroe he sticks him in midfield and Rutter who can't finish up top!

If Spence is fit hd should be starting at RB and Archie in midfield.

Farke is costing us points and I'm getting pissed off with it.

You couldn't script it.

No doubt Paddy will be getting another five year contract on the strength of that.

Wish I’d known Bamford was starting, I’d have picked him as first goal scorer
Should have checked the team sheet beforehand

I didn't see Bamford's celebration. Did he cup his ears or has he grown up?
