I'm used to McGinn and Luiz not communicating now they won't even pass to each other.

Agree with the rush of "substitution" comments and there's a few I'd make, let the kids eat.

Got out of jail.

Can Luiz start running now?

No kidding, it's like he's trying to glide but that's not his game.

I'll give McGinn shit for his passing today but he at least chased and bought time for Diego to get back in position. He's aware of the threat from Enciso.

The left side of our "attack" is nonexistent.

Great job to get big, Olsen.

I applaud the effort but man that's not where I want Bailey having to pick up the ball.

Defense literally doing everything in that buildup on the right, nobody in midfield even touched it or came near.

They need to pass the ball forward more. Too many passes backwards.

I don't think that passes forward are failing because of a lack of options up front, which is what bringing on Duran would do. I think it's because we're exhausted and have a shoestring and spit constructed midfield that is also exhausted.

No you dont. And you dont have to speak for other people either.

I think Tim is poor and nowhere near good enough. Thats my genuine opinion and thats why I said it. No other reason.

Ok with you?

You've started the day with "I'd sell everyone on the bench" and gone somehow down from there. Sort yourself out.

Need an injection of energy and a little bit of chaos. Would be looking to bring on Duran soon I think. 

You have to get the ball to him somehow.

He isn't quite at the level to step up to where we need him to be, imo, but this is an absolutely ludicrous opinion considering how well he did down there.

It's the internet, it's not enough to have an opinion, you have to have a fire level extreme taek to try and make the most delicate of points.

We've got too many players in front of the ball waiting for it to come from too few players behind the ball - the balance is slightly wrong - Bailey, Diaby and Watkins can't contribute when we can't get them the ball - one of them may need to be sacrificed.

Diaby for Tim: again, I don't get the concern about playing him. At worst he's going to do what, cede possession in our half and fail to control the ball? Gosh it'd be awful if our midfield did th....

Oh, wait.

Warning signs for us we need to wakeup players look rattled.

Well if your obvious betters who are the real team in Birmingham were about to dominate their new league and build a 60,000 seat, $3 billion palace you'd be rattled too.....

Mate.

Well this is shite isn't it. No energy, and caught ball watching. Give them a bloody rolloking Unai 

You can't yell away exhaustion.

Pau with the choice of covering two potential runners there, good lord.

Almost like we've terminated the contract on the basis that they're shite and they've said **** it then you can have the old unfixed shit shirts back then 

A real cut off your nose to spite your face move for future sales, but I respect the pettiness.

Good to see Castore fixed that sweat kit issue in the past few months.

He's the best of our midfield at the moment. Hasn't put a foot wrong  

Right on the first, wrong on the second.

We are playing slowly out from the back to lure Brighton’s press, it's not working as Brighton is not pressing, even when playing at home.. Guess that’s happen when you are considered atop 4 side  .. 

They'll press but not the final third, they're picking up right out of there....where you'd take advantage of a bad midfield.

It's hard for me to hear you can't play Tim when I see defensive midfield play like this. What are you afraid of, he's going to turn oer the ball or be anonymous?

McGinn stop holding the damned ball and pass it.

Commentator just basically saying we're going to be rubbish in The Champions League. 

We'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.

Anyone know what the issue was with Rogers? Hoping minor

Appeared hamstring.

Just now, sne said:

Poor cross but those runs with the ball by Torres is a real weapon

They let him go there as opposed to crowding him like before. If they continue to do so, that'll fix the midfield leak.

We're going to have a hell of a squad for the Palace away game if everyone returns about when they should. We'll only be missing like 5 people you'd have said would be in th XI at the start of the year.
