The B team need to be banned. Game changed when we brough the proper players on

Yeah I don’t want to see this every cup game, giving ourselves more work to do

At the very least Donk needs to be replaced. Where’s Tim?

Just come back from injury I think 

Be easier to judge him if he was playing in the first team 

Southgates just said you have to be careful with recency bias with goal scoring form when selecting players talking about Ollie. Why’s Nketiah there?

Name your 5… 

Top 5 midfielders you could maybe argue, but not top 5 overall. 

 Interesting tweet, possibly pointing towards the fact he’s not getting a sniff for brazil.

It’s worrying how fast we can go from a good attacking position to being openly countered or passing the ball all the way back to Emi.

I'm hoping McGinn left, Zaniolo second striker and Diaby right. Or McGinn left, Diaby behind Watkins and Zaniolo right....

Yeah I don't think McGinns suited to the left but defensively I think he’s more suited to there than Zaniolo

I see the Premier League app is showing this game is on Premier Sport here in Ireland but it’s not showing up on the TV guide. Any ideas? 

Never used premier sport but is there a multi game red button? 

Sterling and gusto on their right side will probably cause us some problems, Digne needs to be on it today 

I would still like to see three midfielders, kamara deep and doug and tielemans ahead, doesn't fit the set up though

Haven't been feeling him at all so far this season.

Not sure if his body language and seeming attitude is what is skewing my opinion.

I automatically find myself getting annoyed with players who may not show dedication to the cause. ( In my perception, I obviously could be way off )

I'n possibly also just making him my " scapegoat " due to being pissed off as well in fairness.

I thought he was fine against palace in parts dropping into defence.  The problem for me is we’re using a two man narrow midfield, pushing them up the pitch and watching them get countered. It was the same against Newcastle, Liverpool and now Warsaw. There has been a fair few times kamaras been disappointing on and off the ball though regardless of tactics. 

Watched 35 minutes back and that was enough. Genuinely don’t understand what him and tielemans role was. When we attacked they were both past the half way line. When our back line had the ball they were planted in between warsaws midfielders unable to receive passes. When Warsaw had the ball they were stuck together too high up the pitch.

I was thinking maybe it's the players dousing themselves with water rather than sweat but even then it should at least dry reasonably quickly.  Martinez having to put a sticker over the sponsor was a bit amateur but I'm guessing that's down to the kitman?

It’s definitely not that. Am I clutching here or surely it has a negative impact on performance?

I want to be optimistic but based on that performance we won’t get past the better teams. I’m prepared to eat my hat though 

Again 5 first 11 players on the bench

He's usually solid to good but he's not someone who can lead a defense by the look of it. Needs an adult next to him.

Only so much one man can do with chambers right back, Digne bombing forward who’s a defensive liability, and lenglet who hasn’t played a minute for the club 

He’s miles off it

Just now, Strog said:

We’re not winning this unfortunately

Based on one game? We’re we had 5 starting 11 on the bench, chill

Chelsea at the weekend probably influenced the starting 11, I don’t want to see that again to be honest. Chambers isn’t a right back. Lenglet looks miles off it. Also don’t like Mcginn playing 10. 

 Here’s what we’re up against

I’m intrigued to watch this one play out. I suspect I’m the typical target for this kind of thing. Too far away to be a regular but not enough history to get a ticket to most games. As a one-off in a season I’d probably stump up to see Villa play. Then again, at £120 a go, by the time I’ve paid for me, her and my old man, it’s a very expensive day out. Still probably would at some point though although I’d be full of self-loathing for being part of the ruination of football. 

I’m in the same bracket. It’s going to cost around 300 per person for a weekend for myself and others to go. If this would guarantee seats together which is a big factor, hassle free food and drink before and after with a ticket included for £120 I would definitely consider it. It’s not really an authentic match day experience per se though so you have to think about that as well.

I bet Unai would choose Ollie if he had that choice though

No chance 

When the ref awarded the pen, love that
