Aside from game management being shocking, the glaring take-a-way was just how terrible our ball control is compared to them. Several times they got p*ssed when they cut a pass out and it DIDN’T go to a team mate but out of play. Never even an option for us. Hoof it anywhere! Head it anywhere! #nufc
Desperate to give Barca something all game. Embarassing stuff. #nufc

The negligence involved in signing Wissa (slightly less so, Elanga) needs looking at. Last summer has set us back 2-3 years of spending.
Kraft, Willock, Elanga, Wissa, Osula, Burn, Trippier, Pope all need selling. But that's not going to happen. Too much pride to admit mistakes. 2030 coming soon!
Wissa’s attempted 10 yard pass to Gordon just there a case in point. Sell him first. For a loss. I don’t care. He’s just NOT GOOD. #nufc
The team is just not good. The tactics are just not good. There are too many players in the squad that need getting gone in the summer. Shocking waste of money last summer. #nufc
Amazing what can happen when you have 2 good wingers. #nufc
Happy clappers. How about the 2nd 45? Do you think we’re improving? What about this 2nd 45 were you pleased with? Another deflected goal? How may 50-50 balls did we win? How many times did we immediately give possession away? How many times did we stop play and allow them to get everyone back? #nufc
I’d like to hear from the happy clappers about what they saw in that opening 45 that they felt was good enough, exciting and encouraging. Anything that suggests there’s clear tactics once we cross half way line. #nufc
Ahhh #nufc.. to be up by 6 goals and still look like the worst of the 2 sides. Classic.
Incoming HT changes that NO-ONE will see coming.. 3 keepers on the goal line for the 2nd half. Then it all makes sense! #nufc
Not terrible, just an extremely clear display of the gulf in class & quality between our players and theirs. A good 4 or 5 just not at the level we're 'supposed' to be aiming for. #nufc
Why are you allowed to push someone into an offside position and it not be a foul? #nufc
It's a good job we've got 3 keepers on the bench to allow plenty of players to get minutes in the 2nd half. #nufc
Get their attention 😂
I got this reference... 😂
That should be 5 now.. #nufc
Needle-nose Ned?
Just flew from Dubai to Cairo and this is what greeted me in passport control.. a sign? Probably not but I can hope. #nufc
Love to be wrong. Seems like we've settled into the game and formation more..? Ref and VAR will be up for it in the 2nd half though!
If we can keep this less than 5-0, I'll be impressed. Embarrassing display so far. This isn't the team from last time on either side. Shocking stuff. #nufc
If you want to watch a Harlem Globe Trotters style exhibition match, tune in! Embarrassing gulf in talent so far after 13 minutes.
Can the happy clappers shut the f*ck up now please? We have no cutting edge or end product. If you’re refusing to shoot and insist on playing it wide, you’ve got to be able to cross. We have precisely zero of any of it. Not remotely good enough. These two teams were close last season.. #nufc
Absolute drivel after Tonali’s chance in the 1st minute. Have 👏🏻 some 👏🏻 shots 👏🏻 at 👏🏻 goal 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 helps 👏🏻 #nufc
Who knew the crazy things that can happen when you actually take a shot at goal!!!? Huh? #nufc
I think Gordon did as much running with the ball back towards his own goal than he did running at their right back. Infuriating to watch. #nufc
I’m not hating on him at all. I hope he comes good. Confidence is key. But if you think that performance, tactics, ideas and result against the bottom team was good enough, that’s where we disagree.
‘decent forward runs’ that amount to nothing are still nothing. If you’re coming on as an impact sub, you should be doing something different than the person you replaced. To make an impact. That didn’t happen. Barnes shouldn’t be on that side to start with. We didn’t run at their defenders once.
Did he though? I just saw the one cross and nothing else.
Can someone more knowledgeable than myself explain to me what impact the ~£100m worth of subs brought on had? Surely it was there somewhere? Thanks. #nufc
