    The fact that he's even in discussions of being better than Yorke / Benteke is enough for me. All great players with different attributes. The header was sublime.

    Better still it won me £130

    I think definite starters against Bournemouth (injuries permitting) are Martinez, Konsa, Pau, Digne, McGinn, Luiz, Tielemans and Watkins, so that's 8 players I'd rest for this one (well 7 because we have to start with Emi). So on that basis, giving us enough to win (hopefully) and managing the squad, I think something like; Martinez Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno Bailey Kamara Iroegbunam Ramsey Diaby Duran Hopefully get a good hour from Moreno and Ramsey and Diaby can play is way into a bit of form.

    Ah yes may have been that one, or Carlos challenge on Gil in the same incident. Neither were pens !

    The only one I can think your mate was referring to, would be Digne's tackle on Kulusevski in the second half. VAR checked it about 5 times, probably hoping something in it (least that's how it feels sometimes), but he clearly won the ball. Voted Martinez MOTM, mainly for the double save, but Kamara was class (apart from one blip) and Tielemans changed the game. Rode our luck, but also had a goal ruled out, Torres header, Bailey hit the post, Digne's free kick, Watkins goal-line header... a few chances of our own there.. League table looks

    Funny how people see things differently, I thought McGinn was one of our weaker players tonight (yet, created and scored one!!) Bailey MOTM, Tielemans a close second for me. Fantastic away performance though, I'd say maybe only Cash was below 7/10. (From the starting eleven). Bring on Luton..

    Been a good night... Blues losing/ JPB scoring ️ Leeds losing / Bamford missed pen / Big Wes huge goal contribution ️ Geordies losing / hitting woodwork twice late on / Isaak injured ️

    Coward! Great betting

    Martinez. Cash. Konsa. Pau. Digne. McGinn. Luiz. Kamara. Traore. Diaby. Watkins. But it will be Zaniolo over Bert for sure. Head says 2-1 them, says 0-3!

    I agree about Moreno, doesn't bode well for him starting with no minutes last night or previously - It was more wishful thinking that inclusion.

    Be interesting to see what sort of team he puts out against Zrinjski now (sandwiched between Brighton and wolves)! They've won today, so if (god forbid) we lost, we could be out after game 3 (arguably our toughest game on paper). Who will want Chambers starting in that? And full use of the squad? I'm sure it won't come to that, but we've put extra pressure on ourselves now (& more reason to go stronger!)

    I personally would have preferred them* playing 60 minutes and (possibly) winning the game. Not sure an extra 30 minutes is going to make a massive difference. It's as much the travelling midweek as anything else. Plus winning breeds confidence. *them - being the 'better' players.

    Should've been, but wasn't. The problem was playing too many of those players. If you put just Chambers into our best eleven, you can probably just about get away with it. When you put Lenglet (not played a game for us) and Tielemans (rusty) also in, it starts to show. Especially when we're trying to play out from the back. You then have Zaniolo (who did ok btw) as a new player settling in, and Bailey who literally never plays well away from VP it just adds to the problem. Start strong and change after 45/60 minutes, we've now lost the game and not really saved anything from it cos we've still used our so called better players for 30 mins anyway ?! I'd rather of won our first 3 grouo games then completely rested the players!

    Need to see a massive improvement now after tonight's performance. Kamara and McGinn lucky to start. Martinez Cash. Konsa. Pau. Moreno. McGinn. Luiz. Kamara. Ramsey. Diaby. Watkins. Olsen, Digne, Lenglet, Tielemans, Dendoncker, Bailey, Duran, Zaniolo, anyone but Chambers. I want to see DESIRE, FIGHT, PASSION.
  17. WakefieldVillan
    We didn't, which is probably more concerning than the original team selection. Usually Emery sees things and will fix it. We looked like we had no game plan at all after the subs. That said, even then, we had 3 very good chances of getting a draw or even a win. (Ramsey, Diaby & Tielemans).

    Ratings: Martinez 4 - Feel disappointed he let in the third. Chambers 0 - Slow, sluggish, crap on the ball, partly to blame for all 3. Digne 1 - Partly at fault for all 3 goals l, scored albeit a deflection, no heart. Konsa 5 - Not surprisingly looked uncomfortable next to Calum. Lenglet 5 - Nothing overly bad, but didn't inspire confidence. Tielemans 3 - Another one sluggish, missed the sitter at the end, summed his game. Kamara 3 - Like Youri, didn't influence the game at all, didn't want to do the dirty side. Midfield gaps all over. McGinn 3 - when he doesn't play well. We don't, it seems. Looked lethargic. No passion at all. Bailey 3 - probably should've been a red for his opponent, couple of dribbles, goes missing. Zaniolo 6.5 - decent first half, good shot, decent work rate. Tired quickly. Duran 7 - took his goal well, unlucky with another chance, had a bit of presence. Emery - 0 - ultimately blame lies with him, poor starting line up, odd subs - players coming off, not the ones going on. Crap.

    Dire. Got exactly what we deserved. Players and manager equally as poor. Need a BIG performance on Sunday now and 3 points. Hopefully a wake up call we need.
  20. WakefieldVillan
    I think we've looked even worse (attacking) since the subs. They didn't look right at the time.
  21. WakefieldVillan
    I love Unai, like we all do. But he's got it wrong tonight. Players equally to blame. Fair play Warsaw, wanting it A LOT more. I would take a point now
  22. WakefieldVillan
    They are getting away without a lot of fouls with no punishment.
  23. WakefieldVillan
    Think we're going to try win this 8-9
  24. WakefieldVillan
    Wank. Make the subs.
  25. WakefieldVillan
    True. He probably was hoping that the starting eleven would also be strong enough to save bringing on the "better" players.
