    The standard of passing is nothing short of disgraceful.

    I think I'm done. I can't be bothered to spend another minute of my life with this husk of a club, the dirge that pretends to be football and - of course - the massive **** who's been the death of it all.

    So good morning, and if I don't see you again, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.

    Took the CBs to create and score our goal. Says it all about the quality of our attack unfortunately.

    So bad.
    Think Murphy and Diame probably dont deserve the ****. They tried and were positive.
    Far too many players lost it in the second half and just looked pathetic.

    Hayden looks like a fucing wrestling figure the way he moves his legs. Dubravka was clearly all confidence from a year ago. Respect to clark and fernandez, Yedlin/Dummet/Murph and Ritchie need to learn how to aim a cross. Joselu pretty starved so I'm not guna give him pointless ****, Perez his same old indecisive self.
    Same old crap let's hope upon hope for better next week. Its the team at the moment, not the tactics.

    Bascially we're ****ed that Kenedy was actually overachieving last year. As is common under Ashley, we've pinned our hopes on one player.

    Lascelles going off happened.

    We lost our leader and we lost our way.

    Can’t be arsed getting angry anymore.
    I’ve just accepted we are complete **** and our club is a ****ing joke.
    I now expect us to lose every game and will still be in the stands next season in the championship as I can’t kick the habit.
    I’ve fully accepted our fate and know Rafa will go in the Summer.
    Just no point getting angry anymore.

    Season starts here realistically

    We knew the first 5 were going to be brutal - add in we've been missing Shelvey, Lejeune and Lascelles for various games has had a big impact too.

    We're 3 points adrift of 13th - that's the main thing

    Getting and keeping Shelvey fit is key to us starting to pick up some points. You'd expect Rondon to come in and offer at bit more at number 9. We also need Kenedy to find some form again and we need to find a better option Perez at number 10. Maybe Muto will come in although I'm yet to be convinced he's going to offer anything more than Perez. Perhaps Kenedy, Ritchie and Murphy can play the 3 behind Rondon and one of them sit behind in the central position?

    The Hoss could play there with Rondon up top. Worth a go I reckon

    The free-kick, probably coupled with Lascelles going off, changed the momentum of the game.

    Joselu spooned a great chance a million miles up and out for a throwin first half, then headed over when he should have scored. Generally as useless as a third nipple all game. Rafa cripples his chances of changing a game with Joselu starting. The Lascelles sub meant he could only bring on 2 of Shelvey, Kenedy and Rondon... He ended up bringing bloody Muto on, but still.

    Could be worth a try but as much as we all know what a goal scoring machine Joselu is up front, I'd want a bit more creativity from Rondon's partner. We need to create more chances in games and I reckon part of that needs to be the number 10 finding the space between the lines, having a bit of pace and being able to use the ball better. Am I right in thinking Murphy played that position in the past at Norwich? I actually think Ritchie could do a decent job centrally - he can finish he can find space and do something with the ball in those areas. Plus Murphy is better on the right wing than the left from what I've seen. Obviously Rafa won't do any of this and will play Perez or Muto.

    Think Muto and Rondon could work in a weird way. In the sense I see Muto working with literally nobody else in the team.

    Just get visions of Rondon sweeping through balls against the sway of a backline for Muto to run in behind and feed upon.

    An inverted use of the AM but, since we have never had an assist-maker there, the smartest use of the system we coukd find.
