We were totally screwed over today by refereeing/VAR decisions...both Pickford's assault & Mane's offside were not even marginal calls, they were two 100% stonewall decisions against us.

Looking beyond those...and its hard to right now....we put in a pretty superb performance, although conceding two goals again is just an indictment of how vulnerable we are defensively with Adrian in goal and a nerve-ridden Joe Gomez.

Midfield & attacking superb...again many missed chances and again we could have scored 5, some day soon we're going to murder some team.

And the brightest light of all....how good was Thiago?? Anyone who had any doubts about how and where he'd fit in and was he really needed got their answer today. His passing is a work of art. Gini, Fab, Hendo, Keita, Ox.....none of them have got his range and most importantly his speed of passing. Its his ability to see and execute the pass that split second faster is what sets him apart. Just hope he's not badly injured after that act of violence by Richarlison.

Fuming over the decisions, seething over the assaults, James and Richarlison are whinging gits, and disappointed not to have won.....but not a bit bothered in the bigger scheme of things because the performance showed we are the best team in this league by some distance.

That said, really hope VVD and Thiago are not out for long and that Alisson returns quickly.
