  1. 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 ️
  2. 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!
  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.
  4. 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!)
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I think we've looked even worse (attacking) since the subs. They didn't look right at the time.
  12. 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
  13. True. He probably was hoping that the starting eleven would also be strong enough to save bringing on the "better" players.
  14. Could even go 3 at back? Konsa Kamara Lenglet Cash Luiz. McGinn. Moreno. Diaby. Duran. Zaniolo.
  15. In my view we should have started stronger (at the back). Got a lead and switched our "better" players off at 60. I think we might have to do it the other way round to win here.
  16. Get to HT level. Cash for Chambers. Pau for Lenglet. Luiz for Tielemans. Then look at Diaby/Moreno/Watkins at 60. We should, should have enough.
  17. Looks a great goal at first viewing. Let's be honest, he got very lucky.
  18. Totally agree. If Moreno is fit enough then give him the first 60+ Tielemans needs the minutes, and will have a point to prove. Duran will be chomping at the bit, and hopefully this inspires Ollie. I think it will be the League Cup when we utilise the squad more.
