Thought Wildman looked decent but maybe needs to bulk up a bit - looked like he got a bit outmuscled on a few crosses Sterry had a better second half, don't think he did much wrong. Longstaff probably suffered the most from the dross around him. Didn't have a great game but think that's understandable given the circumstances
Let’s say this instead - should Manquillo, Hayden, Joselu be playing at all ahead of Sterry, Longstaff or Sorensen? Not in a million ****ing years yet that is all we are ever going to get with Rafa, his management-by-numbers and sticking with his favourites. We’ve seen it with mitrovic, which I didn’t complain about, who couldn’t get a game ahead of Joselu and we are seeing unrivalled bias towards **** Spanish players.
Agreed - although I thought Manquillo did ok today to be fair to him. But Sorensen definitely should have been on the bench at least - along with Roberts
There seems to be alot of negative comments in this thread ! It's the lack of consistency that makes it look more negative and less what people really think and feel.
Why was Rondon on the bench if he wasn't going to be brought on? If he's not coming on at 1-0 down then why's he even there?
I can’t remember shouting at the tv for a long time but I did today. Kennedy 5hit. Joselu 5hit. Perez ****. Murphy £12 million dog 5hit
Everyone needs to stop thinking we can win! Regardless of players selection, formation or tactics we will always struggle in literally any game.
We have zero chance of anything other than 1 to 3 points total until end of February. We're going down mate Chelsea will destroy us unfortunately
If we didn't have any chance to start with, I'm going down and in 31 away games I've seen us win 0. Might bet my house on a home win
Mate I've made a career out of betting against us.i honestly believe we are finished as a club. We are going down and this time we will sm8de down the leagues and never recover.
Think that's the bit that pissed me off most. 1-0 down at home to a championship team and we swap out a winger for another winger and continue playing 451
Don't worry when rafa leaves we will maybe get someone like Steve Bruce in to show rafa how it's done eh lads!!! Or maybe go all out and one of you experts instead
How what's done? How to draw at home to Blackburn? How to replace a 5hit winger HE bought with another 5hit winger HE also bought in the 80th minute when we needed a goal? How to grind out a 0-0 against Fulham at home, the worst defensive team in the league? How to stand by Joselu endlessly whilst a top couple of talents bang them in for the reserves? How to play the same ****ing formation week in, week out as if somehow it's suddenly just going to "work"? How to persevere with kenedy, who doesn't want to be here, and refuse to cancel the loan and give Cal Roberts a game? I'm done in with Benitez, he's just wrong, wrong, wrong for this football club. We've had the life sucked out of us by the owner for 11 years, now Rafa's sucked the life out of the players on the pitch. This club is a waste of frigging oxygen at the moment.
