    Poor defending all round. Lambert missed first header, Hooiveld missed the clearance and no-one was paying attention to Gouffran.

    Everyone deserves a surplus of chances, but Jos really does have a flair for the disastrous.

    Expecting offers of at least £15m for him in a couple of weeks then.

    Incredible how much our defense has regressed back towards the folly of the beginning of last season since our fantastic start.

    Why are we not starting with Fonte, can understand giving others a chance but not against a team that's on such a good run.

    Has an injury. Seems to be available in an emergency, but not to start.

    Rickie has been really poor for me. So ponderous and slow. Doesn't work with RL, DO and JR all up top.

    Well his form has dropped in recent games, probably because he's not fully fit. Not a case of giving others a chance.

    Tits. Now its your turn to say another rude word.

    Unless of course you plan to put forward a carefully thought through argument as to why you disagreed with my initial theory.

    When people have said that you need to leave your line, Gazza...that moment wasn't the sort of situation they were talking about.

    If you make changes to a solid CB pairing (since Villa at home), forced or unforced, it isn't entirely surprising that we have looked more vulnerable.

    Well, you play individuals who were key to that, and you pay the penalty. I think the experiment of occasionally playing Yoshida and Hooiveld has been made and the results are in. They are OK as subs only.

    The last two times we have altered our centre back pairing we have conceded soft goals.

    Heh, 'OK as subs only' effectively means that they're okay so long as they don't play. Think we badly need another defender.

    That Sissoko run is exactly why I'd rather Wanyama over Cork, cork just wasn't strong enough to keep up/push Sissoko off the ball.

    Gazzaniga keeping us in the game. Never thought I'd be saying that.

    Fonte was hardly a world-beater last season.
