Ascotexgunner Wish we had some pace though down the middle....Slabhead and Lindilof are not the quickest.


Do you have anyone with a tiny bit of pace just as an out ball?

Snowflake Royal Anthony just has Rahman on toast.


Is Gusiness-Walker on the bench?

Hound Baba being comically ruined

I don't understand how he plays. He's dreadful.

Fingers crossed we’re swapping him for that Casadei bloke next week.

Yep.

Loum isn’t doing great either.

As feared, Joao serving very little purpose as we're playing entirely in our defensive third. Well, he's defended some set plays well.

There is no pace in this team at all. Shane Long is probably the quickest up front.....which says it all.

This is really poor. Some good last ditch defending but it should be considering we aren’t attacking. Listen we’re going to lose but it would be nice to see us go for it a bit more. This attack v defence is pathetic. I hate Lee Dixon but he’s right, it does look a matter of time until they score. Then what?

Is there a fault on the picture? I can see de Gea.

Ince, but he's defending. NGW, but WB on the bench. Meite and Long on the bench.

Wasn't too different from from this. With us playing a 10-0-0 formation.

I’m not sure there’s that much you can do with such a gulf in quality. Picked a relatively attacking team just can’t get the ball off them

But overall not to bad really. Only a couple of comfortable saves for Lumley.

Ah Meite. Forgot him. Doesn't seem as quick as was though after his long term injury. GW needs to be on. Rahman offer nothing.

Only for the first 72 minutes, it was 9-0-0 after that.

I can only assume the plan is to keep it tight and as the game stretches later on, introduce some pace upfront in Meite / Azeez / Long.

But we know how good we are at stepping up having camped our box.

Saying that, had we played forward more, I think we'd already be losing.
