Cresswell should have known better than that. He may have cost us the game, and all that entails. Hope Moyes gives him a real talking to (my real thoughts would be modded!). COYI, we can still do this?
OCS, Wouldn’t it be nice to replace a few of the players who have lost their way a bit recently but we don’t have the options to do that. ☹️
It was an obvious risk that Moyes took. Unfortunately we're all but out of the EL and top six in the league is all but gone, and Moyes has to accept a good deal of the responsibility for that.
Tonight, however, is mostly on Cresswell. We may still have gone out with 11 men, but he's taken any chance we had away with another piece of brainless defending.
OCS, I am fully in agreement with you there. I have complained about our lack of transfer business endlessly on here. 👍
A few of us have. It seemed obvious that we needed strengthening to compete in league and cup, but we didn't and we've gone from 4th in the league to 7th and are heading out of the EL.
We get near their goal and don’t bother to shoot and they go up the other end and try a shot from wherever they are. Fortunately they’re way off but at least they shoot.

But this hurts
Got 2 or 3 on him at all times and no support for 30 yards from our own players
Norwich on Sunday suddenly feels like a big game.
We need to score twice. We haven't threatened at all. What exactly is he waiting for?
Still giving it their all
Cresswell moment of madness is gonna cost us
Proud of the lads for not stopping playing some good stuff and making some chances
Just not enough quality, unfortunately.
I don't think with eleven we'd have created enough to get the goals we needed, but Cresswell has killed any chance we did have.
