    Nah I think Murphy whips in decent balls and seems to find Isak well. Almiron should come on later as a goal threat as he doesn't create much.

    If we're really dropping players based on the last few games it's golden balls Guimareas Joelinton Botman and burn, but they've done enough to see this season through.

    Good point he has been gash and to a lesser extent big joe has been lacking too

    I don't think there's any doubt the pressure is impacting the players it's inevitable. Today I just felt like every time they went fwd they had one eye on not losing.

    I expect the same until it becomes a must win tbh.

    Wilson doesn't have to start.
    Why drop Dan Burn? He hasn't done anything wrong. He's not the problem here at all.

    Targett is ****e.

    Either or will suffice with one to come off the bench if required with regards to Burn love him and think he is a good player but we need a proper left back in there certainly an area we need to invest in

    Would also love to analyse our conversion rate from free kicks and corners because it just doesn’t work does it or very rarely for such a big imposing side

    He wants to drop players but not someone that played badly today.. Burn was crap today.

    He's sighting a player with 17 goals as the issue instead I think.

    Can it not just stay unchanged would be my question on this.

    Maybe EH is working on a front three that includes Wilson and Isak and or either Almiron, Murphy, ASM or Gordon but it’s a funny time to experiment Isak and Wilson were both working fine trading places every other match but now EH is insisting on starting both, the benefit is it also makes a stronger bench

    I'd make a case it's the defending that's become the issue..... there's an attitude change out there .. it's nonchalant all of a sudden.

    Let's remove all our goalscorers because we've only won 8 in the last 11 .

    I remember players that completely lost it when we conceded i.e. Botman looked furious and inconsolable I agree there has been a shift for whatever reason but there does not seem to be the same approach to not conceding or keeping a clean sheet I mean the first goal today shocking defending really poor
