Terrible! Just say there like statues in the last twenty mins. Helped the game get slowed down even more. I know it’s only a minor thing but these are marginal gains and we have to keep these games moving as quickly as possible…

I take your point...not invalid at all but we didn't win because we missed a number of good chances. Not cause the ball people weren't quick enough.

I didn’t say that was the reason why we didn’t win but it just helps speed up the time wasting a little bit

I’ve got to agree with you, towards the end their keeper was trying to slow it down t every opportunity when the ball went out behind the goal, I counted at least 3 occasions in the last 10 mins when the ball team just sat there and allowed the keeper to fetch the ball himself as slow as he liked

Evans had to get the ball himself for a corner after the keeper left it behind the goal.

Saw a few posts earlier on twitter from fans saying they noticed the ball people stopped going to get the ball. Maybe they were instructed not to?

Not sure I saw any of them move at all for the whole game other than at half time when they all congregated at the middle of SAR.

Half the time they were laying back like they were chilling by the pool

Am I imagining it or did Ashton say in pre season that they were looking at the that sort of thing and getting more people involved?

Not sure but getting some sort of engagement from the team who are supposed to be doing this would be a start

Definitely something we should sort with the speed we like to play and KM very heavy on the flow of the game.

Pointless having them there. Kids who think it’s a free ticket to sit about and watch a game rather than having to do anything. Absolute disgrace. I didn’t see any of them get off their lazy little arse5 all game. Pointless having them.

Even for one of our corners in the second half I noticed Evans had to go and collect the ball from behind the goal!

When you go to away games you always see the ballboys sprint for the ball, never has happened at PR.

How many good chances? Apart from Morsy’s I can’t recall many.

I think the ball boys and girls are invited from local football clubs on a match by match basis so it’s a bit harsh to have a go at them really, as imagine being 12 or so and suddenly being thrown in front of 27000 shouty sweary fans. No wonder they are a bit overawed. I know a lad who was a regular ball boy for Spurs and was part of a group that did it regularly, and was even ‘coached’ on how to speed up or slow down the game as necessary by Mourinho.

They did just sit there and didnt touh the ball unless it came right to them. I was wondering what the point of them was.

I'd agree, although maybe it was part of the plan - not sure it worked though.

On the subject of statues, I still find us very frustrating with throw-ins, never seems to be enough movement or urgency.

Holy crap.

Do people like you just invent ways to use the word 'woke' or something?

You didn't invent it so how the hell did you express yourself before these ridiculously childish concepts were given to you?

What a snowflake.

B) You’re saying that even though they were girls, they should be referred to as ballboys? And if they’re not referred to us such it’s ‘work nonsense’?
