    Not sure we’re set up right. Adarma isn’t a 9, Mara doing okay but prefer him through the middle, and we need a shield in midfield.

    It is a really bad team selection and that is on RM

    Mara is horrendous. Wish he’d gone tbh

    Team selection all wrong. Far too functional with no threat going forward; need best players like alcaraz and adams on the pitch

    Just had a look at the championship table last season. Only 3 teams conceded more than Martin's swansea side. Clearly not a new problem for his style of play.

    Stuart Armstrong is looking dangerous as ever, for our team.

    KWP is the best attacker on the pitch this half.

    I don’t necessarily think it’s the wrong players as much as they aren’t in the right places.

    The hope has finally killed me. Major changes needed at half time.

    Definitely in Stu's case. He's far too attacking for a CM role.

    And that goal should finish this match off.

    Holgate and Bazunu both awful there.

    And no-one should be surprised.
