    I don’t think Bazunu had clear sight of Firpo or the ball when he struck it, Saints player in his sight line. At least I hope that’s what happened.

    Bleh. One of the most depressing games I've watched in a long time.

    Bazunu can hardly be held responsible when we didn't muster anything in front of the opposition goal. Fail to score, fail to win.

    He can be held responsible for being anonymous.

    The lad barely makes a save. Nowhere near PL standard

    I must admit I can’t really remember a time when I said “Bazunu earned us those thee points (or 1 point”.

    What’s his shots:goals ratio?

    edit: lowest save % in the league: 57.3

    Lavia (?) puts his whole body on the ground to block a shot. Bednarek can’t move his foot forward 20cm.

    I have just the one observation to make about how very frustrating I find whoever or whatever is responsible for this:

    We sign a reasonably prolific striker who is 6"7" and then, over the course of some 150 minutes of playing with him on the pitch, we manage to cross the actual ball onto his actual head in the actual box just once. Just once. That he missed a difficult chance with that solitary bit of service by the merest of bawhairs may possibly lead us to believe that we should maybe try that again. Quite often in fact.

    The other quote from him was they still have a number of games to go. That's extremely worrying to me, it's almost complacency and no urgency.

    2 assists and 0 goals in 26 games for Elyounoussi this season. (Goal involvement every 13 games)

    6 assists and 3 goals in 32 games for Redmond last season. (Goal involvement every 3.5 games)

    "There's not much between them". <doh>

    Just one of many bat **** decisions by this useless football club.

    The biggest worry for me after yesterday is Ruben Selles picking the wrong team. I thought he played certain players against Chelsea because of injuries.

    If he actually rates Ely, Bednarek, AMN and thinks Sulemana should play centrally instead of on the wing then he is just as inept as NJ tbh.

    It’s a terrible goal to concede.

    Sunday league stuff. Honestly horrific from the whole team.

    Bednarek and Bazunu are just ludicrously ****e. Absolutely no where near PL level. McCarthy or Caballero should play from now on IMO.

    I seriously don’t understand why we are persisting with Baz. It’s unfair on the young lad.

    Shocking defensively all round but a top flight keeper has to be saving that and his positioning is terrible too.

    If that'd had been any of our CBs bar Bednarek there's no way everyone would be claiming they were the main culprit.

    At least 4 players. AMN for sh*t attempt at a tackle/block, Diallo for falling asleep, Beddie for being Beddie, Baz for letting in such a soft shot.

    Of course the people's scapegoat will bear the brunt of the blame though.

    Ultimately though it's on Selles. One of Leeds' attacks was eventually going to find a way through. We shouldn't have let them have so many.

    I think he’s at fault to a degree, but Baz has to be stopping that. Chrysanthemum Summerville shouldn’t really have been able to slide that ball across, with three around him, and Diallo didn’t track the runner terribly well either.
