    Cunha injured, so Zirkzee gets a shot.

    Decent game under the lights to follow.

    Get Zirkzee off and move Bruno forward.

    Bring on Mainoo or Mount.

    Mazaroui off and Mount on, so assume a back four.

    Good. We're playing against ten ffs.

    We missed Cunha more than i thought we would/should.
    In fairness we did make Pickford work a fair bit but as happens too often we spend too much time passing to each other out wide giving the defence time to set for a cross.

    Be nice to see the manager try a different formation, should of given that Lacey a chance to.

    Well no, I didn't dream that.

    What a weird performance. ****e all round.

    I suppose at least it proves Zirkzee is never a centre forward.

    But sticking with the five against ten men when we needed goals ffs.

    We desperately missed Cunha. Not only does he actually go forward, he's got the right mentality.

    Hopefully Zirkzee's last ever game for us, he should leave in January. But then, why play him and leave Mount on the bench when he hasn't started all season?

    Then we have Mbuemo and Amad ending on the same side of the pitch, which meant there was absolutely **** all threat whatsoever down our left side.

    Couple of things last night rang alarm bells. How can they possibly lose that game when winning it puts us right in the mix?
