    Is it too early to sub Adarma for my mum? She’s nearly 80 and going in for a hip replacement next month, but…

    Wood is ****ing terrible. Awful signing. Why are we not giving ABK a go?

    Armstrong shocking at 9 as well.

    This is another damning game against Martin tbh. ****e so far

    That was fairly ****e. Only lallana is making a claim for starting in the PL.

    We should be 2-1 or 3-1 down

    And we scored an actual goal.

    I think that's what it called when you get the ball between that rectangular thing with a net attached?

    Would like to see Wood, Aribo and Arma off. Wood not very good and the other two may as well not be on the pitch

    I think we have controlled the game - but then whenever we give it away we look like conceding!

    Bree is too slow of movement and thought. Wood can’t handle Beto - but Beto is the one player we desperately need so that isn’t a surprise. Lallana and Aribo have been very good. Lesley… will get there but just not making the best decisions. Cornet looks very good but no end product yet. Armstrong not offering a lot.

    I kinda agree with your first paragraph but also kinda think it means we don't really control games!

    Saw it many times last year.

    It’s reminded me a lot of last years games where we are comfortable in possession but not really doing a lot then lose the ball and are incredibly open

    I thought Bree has had a decent game as in the previous round

    A sentence to sum up the style of play under Martin.

    I have two questions - we have had 77% possesion but less shots than Everton so what is the point of keeping the ball when we don't do anything with it?
    Second question is "Nathan Wood" why?

    I cant remember any time Armstrong has ever been particularly good as a pure 9 tbh, even in the Championship.

    Massively better on the wing.

    Do we have any players in the squad who actually like to f*cking shoot?

    Agreed but against Premiership teams they punish you more often than not
    It helps having a striker too

    Pretty awful but still in it. Lots of pointless possession, Armstrong isolated, no creativity in the final third - usually go backwards from here and few shots on target.

    I actually think this is a game for Stewart or Archer.
