Probably another French speaking buddy for Tekkers to chat with. Give the lad a chance. More of a wingback than a full back. Welcome Aly. UTV

We are **** shite, simple as!!!!!!!!!!

We truly are a shocking football team. I've played in sunday football teams with more guile & creativity than what i have witnessed so far. Nobody seems to have any ideas of how to use the possession. Thats why Pulis is letting us have the ball, cuz he knows we've got nobody who can create anything in open play. I struggle to understand how some of these so called pro's are playing at this level. If we don't improve, we"ll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Remy had everything in his goal that we don't have any of....Quality & Composure.

No balls to bring on Albrighton because it would have mean't a change of formation from the 433 to 442 because he is a winger. That game was there for the taking, 3 crucial pts missed. Lambert is so weak, he does'nt even see when his team is in with a chance of winning a game when the opposition are struggling, instead he brings on 2 defensive players instead of attacking options. Absolutely spineless. I hate to say it, but i saw it coming, but more than that, i really fear for us now.

We are world class.................... At giving away possession.Thats how shit we are!!!!

WTF Weimann no composure again.

Sylla is an awful footballer. Nothing more to say.

You watch De jong score now.

We've been comfortable in this game, but if we had someone who's got a football brain & a bit of composure we'd have been in the lead by now. I'm convinced of it. Some of our attacking control has woeful. This game is here for the taking. I'f we can just find a bit quality in the final third. We need to stop banging the ball forward all the time for Benteke & mix up the play a bit more.

Betrand has got a sweet left foot let him take it.

getting in some really good positions here , just lacking composure to pick out the right pass. always look a threat tho.

Why does Baker keep moving into midfield to win the ball, he should just stay in line & not get sucked in,

If were not careful Campbell will get in behind us.

This could be bad news for us with Wolff Eikrem coming on for Mutch, he's a very talented player.

You can't expect to win if you just defend ALL of the game. Simple. Yes we were solid in the first half. But just look at the players Everton had to come on & wait for us to tire & make mistakes to capitilise. We had nobody who cud put a foot on the ball & regain any control of the game to take the sting out of it.

Pienaar on for Barkley. someone needs to get in his face cuz he is a big playmaker for them.

Classic away performance so far by us, smash n grab. Bacuna has been superb so far. just needs to choose his moments to get forward carefully. Baines is a big threat even if he gets only a bit of space to deliver the ball into a telling area. Very impressed with our shape, organisation & workrate aswell, only concern is if we start to tire are the subs up to the same job?

Ojo gone, subbed at half time due to injury, Harry Wilson he's replacement. More of the same you young lions.

Yeah Ryan Kent has looked threatening down the left for them. Grealish makes us tick, he's soo comfortable on the ball, even on the edge of his own box. Plenty of off the ball intelligent running from to support aswell. I'm so impressed with the Villa lads, their composure, passing, workrate, & team shape is great to see. It puts the first team to shame sometimes.

I don't know about anybody else but i thought to be a professional footballer you should at least be able to do the basics of football, like be able to tackle, pass the ball to a teammate, keep possesion for your team, have a decent amount of positional awareness on the pitch etc..... I struggle to understand how we cannot find these players even with our small budget, because smaller clubs than us find players to replace the ones they've had to sell because they want to move on to further their careers. Who & where are our scouts if we have any at all???

I tell you what we are very good at???? Persistant fouling!!!!

Daniel Johnson is on the bench, at least he knows how to pass the ball around & keep it, & what has poor Nicklas Helenius done to not get a chance to come on???

Our ball retention and basics are shocking. What do we do on the training pitch??? Us being the away side, we have to look after the ball far better than we have so far. West Ham are'nt even pressing us when we go forward. We need to learn & fast!!!!

Just goes to show, sometimes if you ride your luck, a lot, you keep working hard & learn from your mistakes you will get your rewards. Sometimes a long punt upfield is more effective than the nice tippy tappy passing you see, just gotta use it at the right times. Still not sure how we won that game tho, after the battering we took in the first half. City switched off & Lambert took advantage of this & exploited it superbly. Bacuna got slaughtered in the first half for his performance, but he is not a defender he is an attacking midfielder & showed his quality with that freekick. Im still in shock, but what a result, & thats all that matters.
