    Meslier has got to buck his ideas up. Cost us two goals in the last two matches. To give away a corner like that just after we’d scored was ridiculous.

    If we were chasing the game he’d have brought joffy on - we weren’t so he didn’t.

    as it is Roberts laid on 2 chances for Raphinha, which no one will have noticed because it was Roberts <laugh>

    So why did Bielsa tell Orta to buy him, personally I wouldn’t of bought Harrison or James.

    I think Stonking summed it up perfectly - thank **** that is over and we have 3 points but jeez we need something to change for us.

    What seems clear is we can’t play our natural game with three at the back. We’ve looked poor every time we switch to it.

    The fkn doom and gloom on here you'd think we'd lost! They never got a sniff apart from the headed corner. They huffed and puffed but we were always more likely to score than them.
    We beat the fkrs and got 3 points. They're the games you have to dig out. We'd be better with Bamford up top so digging oit results when we are missing key players will do me.
    Those who think Forshaw was poor need to watch the team in white.
    Cheer up ffs!

    If you want faster results for feeling positive get a delivery from Narcos.

    Spot on. Puzzled why some contributors here thought that Sky might have an idea of our line-up. They get it wrong every time, so best ignored. Only thing they get right is the names.

    That was poor if we hold on to Raphinha it will be a miracle. In fairness to James he was played out of position and please stop blaming injuries, we have Ayling and Bamford missing from the first choice 11 Firpo was available today Bielsa decided not to take him.

    Norwich were awful we were ever so slightly better and a deflection and poor goalkeeping cost them two goals. We have huge cracks, it’s going to be a fight to survive.

    Bielsa looked despondent at the end, a very unhappy looking figure, I’m sure he’s out at the end of the season

    But didn't someone present evidence here the other day that we have a much, much higher win ratio playing 3-3-3-1? My thoughts were the same as yours until I read it. Very surprising imo.

    I thought naaarich looked better than for much of the first half. Second half harrison decided to help them out.

    Last 2 games =4 points=2 points average per game from now on please.

    Yet again Rodrigo scores and our other Brazilian so not all bad except when you think our best players today both scored but Raphinha made a mess of plenty of scoring chances. Rodrigo fed him brilliantly all afternoon but never one did he get the ball back.

    Player ratings are in almost everywhere and James and Harrison are scoring 4s thats how bad they were. I reckon James was better than Harrison and was unlucky not to score.

    Kalvin had a non Kalvin game, Llorente did best in defence again but Struijk was also pretty good.

    Dallas is getting his mojo back

    Drameh did very well on 3 occasions when he came on and saved us at the death. He should be ahead if Shaks….

    Forshaw was better and the team were better when he came in but no idea why James went before Harrison

    Still think we maybe should have had Joffy starting because he has no nerves and he makes stuff happen.
