All LoN needed to do was pass it to Omar or Ballard

The more you see it the worse it actually gets
 
I'd be giving them 10 mins before changes, definitely up front but would I chuck Wilson on after his last showing? Tough decisions for RLB as we've been awful

Diarra is becoming a major worry to me.

I’ve given him a pass for new to league, I’ve given him a pass for the injury, I can’t give him another pass as he’s not played on a rough pitch before.

He is, as has been said, mainly anonymous, and bar Burnley this is every game he plays in.

Something needs to change with the lad.

Can someone explain that ?
Daughter came round for me to fix her car and I didn't realise the match had started. I put it on just as they scored and switched the fooker off again in a huff
 
If we need to rely on Xhaka to rescue this tie, it really is embarrassing. No individuals to single out but too many players who are scared to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Talbi looks **** scared whenever anyone comes near him. Rigg totally anonymous, the sooner he’s loaned out the better because he’s going backwards. Angulo and Diarra looked bright at times but not enough.

Hes not the barnstorming box to box midfielder I thought we were getting.

Seems a bit lost in the system

Stupid hoofed pass back from O9 out wide, Ellborg did well to head it out for a corner. Goal eventually resulted from it.

Aye he really isn’t that player at all.

The thing that is concerning for me is a can’t see what he is. He doesn’t carry the ball well, doesn’t pass particularly well and doesn’t strike the ball well.

Far too really for me to write off the lad or say he isn’t good enough but there’s definite concern given what we paid.

Only bright light is he was superb v Burnley.

Remover league ref doing what they do best. John and Mayenda, John fouls first, but free kicks when he gets fouled
 
One thing I hate about modern football. How’s the defender allowed to just block off and impede mayenda but he puts his hand near him and it’s a foul?

Agree its far to early especially after the injury, but hes just as anonymous as Rigg today.

One bright spark is Angulo, hes not been afraid to get stuck in forward and back
