    Can’t see Connolly being here come February. Stoke are playing a high line because they know he can't run in behind but he also isn't great at holding the ball up.

    Would like to see Samed and Aleksic on at half time.

    Rogue shout but watching him in the ground, Connollys attitude doesn’t seem great

    moaning everytime he doesn’t get the ball, throwing his arms about. Probably just frustration but doesn’t look good

    I think he carries the ball well, but seems a little soft in the tackle.

    would like to see him in a better side, wouldn’t mind him here

    I know you didn’t ask me like :D

    Good player, still very raw but he's got good upside

    Won't make it at Liverpool imo but I think we will be a PL player fir a lot of his career

    In all seriousness I only hope we score if we get a second one and don’t concede.

    Would rather lose this 0-1 than have extra time.

    Serious question. Why’s our attendance so low? Apparently Newcastle have sold out tomorrow vs Bromley.

    not a criticism at all just an interesting dichotomy between two clubs going through a good spell during the same time of year.

    Mayenda is not a winger, he needs to be in the middle. You can tell he's not comfortable out there, get him through the middle and get his mate on. These are **** and we should be making changes at half time and not on 70 mins

    Probably cause it's the 3rd game between the teams in the last month and a half or something close to that
