    I’m all for being patient but this is too slow. Far too slow.

    We playing into their hands.

    Just looks like they are working harder to me. Reminds me of us that's week. The effect of the home crowd.

    Just think we need to inject some pave into the progression from midfield to attack. Give them less time to organise.

    Last 2 subs for me

    Masuaku on for Reinaldo - more attacking minded
    Guiu on for Sadiki

    Go 442

    Bit surprised by our subs there. Feel like we've taken off our pace, especially in wide areas. Let's see

    Yeah I would go for that. It's too static at the moment and we don't seem to be working as hard.

    This is grim. Can barely get into their defensive third never mind get a shot on goal.

    This isn’t exciting but it’s more controlled now …

    … they’ll back off now so it’s up to us to score.

    At least he had pace on that side

    The whole midfield just wants to play the simple, safe pass. The one with creativity is Le Feè and he's stuck out on the wing.

    We need someone from midfield to drive with the ball or else we need Masuaku on the wing and Le Feè replacing Sadiki in the middle.

    This has been a shocker of a second half mind.

    It’s interesting actually because for rlb entire tenure have we really been a side to take on a low block

    very much a transition coached team
