Nothing. He's a useless ****. 

 

How the **** is anyone surprised. 

 

 

Yet again he's sucked the confidence out of us.... How many more times?

Going to interesting to see how Kristiansen does against Saka  

I quite like him but he seems to be not the best at passing the ball 

[South Shire Fox]

Defence so far has been fine, counter attacking has been horrific. Passing and runs in final third have been shambolic, no belief from the team that they can score against these

Anyone guess what the second half will look like? Any changes?

 

Not sure what the strategy first half was, forgot we were at Home at one stage 

[Brooksy]

Alan Smith needs to fcuk off and die

Need to get Tetê on the ball more. We've been sending everything down the left then last few games and it's become predictable. I'd like to see Ricky P and Tetê second half. 

 

Tielemans for Praet is the obvious one. Defending is all well and good but you can't find if you don't create anything.

I'd be inclined to leave Praet on and take KDH off instead but I guess there's not much in it.

But Jesus, we are disgusting to watch. 

A disgusting 1-0 victory will go down very well on here.

I feel like Wards gonna drop a bollock at some point. He doesn't fill me with confidence at all. 

 

Souttar has impressed me today. His reading of the game is superb and his passing out from the back is top notch.

 

I'd bring Castagne off at half time for Ricardo. I get the feeling him and Tete could link up really well and provide a much needed attacking threat in the second half.

[Lambert09]

Tbh in a game like this, we are practically playing a lone striker and we all know kel struggles in that environment.

 

I really think it’s just a vardy game

[Hales]

Youri for KDH

Ricardo for Timmy

Think he has done pretty well so far, as was not sure what to expect, but he does look permanently annoyed.

Yes he was the worse player? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Pointless and ineffective in any position

Not Daka, we need someone who can hold it up, so has to be Kel

Is he fast enough though or would it be better to have a Daka or Vardy running off for when the ball is lumped up to Kel?

Yeah he does I’ve seen that. I bet he has got a short fuse 😂 

[don_danbury]

i'd take a win tbh

[copunk]

Only so long you can sit back before you get punished 

[Tielemans63]

I actually think we've been okay....have I gone mad?

[Brooksy]

Just me who thought it was a foul on ward then?

I think we might need to go for a pacy central attack and so bring on Daka.

How bringing in Daka will help? There's no link between the midfield and attack. Do you expect us to give Daka a 10 role?

Seriously? 

 

Vardy has wasted the last 18 months of his career being isolated in this disgusting system. 

 

 

Manager is a willy puller, simple as that.

Agreed but we also need someone he can link up with. Maybe have him as the 10 and Daka as the striker.

It was a foul. The Arsenal chappie was holding Wards hand. Which was nice!

[Supergray22]

Ndidi has done his job reasonably well when needed but we need someone to get on the ball in midfield and to spray the ball around. Kel is dropping back to try and offer but it leaves us short when we do get the chance going forward. Our wide players aren’t getting into it enough either. I can see a change to formation coming.

Alan Smith thinks Ward left his arm in deliberately. That's because Alan Smith is an absolute ****.
