Caught the second half on, just been taken off, didn't do much but saying that you could see him getting in right positions on the shoulder of last defender but the lack of quality players on the same wavelength can really be seen

coutinho? If Gerrard comes in

Could be wrong here but was talk of a release clause in his contact, so wouldn't rangers be our final call once terms were agreed with Gerrard himself

Gerrard has done great job at rangers and at first I wasn't against the idea, then I was reminded that McAllister comes along side him and now I'm against it, McAllister was a word removed last time he was here

This may sound mad but usyk is the shot, I believe canelo can go all be the way to heavyweight, fury or anyone of size it's a nothing

Here is my problem , with the work Canelo has done since the GGG fights , he has to considered one of the greatest but them two GGG fights i have him losing

No, I get that, that is a possibility, to be established.

• Nakamba....Limited and Questionable quality.
• Luiz..............Regular....paying the No6 role
• McGinn........Regular...playing No 6 or no 8
• Sanson........absent through Injury
• Ramsey........Learning his trade, in transition.

Thats what we have, make of it what you will....but it is a widely held fact that our midfield is a problem, no matter you carve up the debate as to why.

I guess we all have our theories.

Throw Ashley Young in that list too , because for some reason beyond belief Smith believes he is a central midfielder

For me , keep him for Southampton game and after that win draw or lose we make a change, that gives the replacement the international break time to come in and get things sorted

Got everything wrong again,

First sub , for god sake we all know Ashley young is not central midfielder

Second sub is forced understandable

Third sub, everyone who has seen Anwar play knows he is great when we have the ball going forward, we needed pace and you have took that away from us by taking Leon Bailey off, we should have been sacrificing  a central midfielder to get more pace on with either Ramsey or archer

Target is constantly out of position, 1st goal came from that side, 2nd goal he is once again in the middle and in emi's eyeline 

This is where I'm at and it's harsh but if bailey doesn't start next game and 4 at back, I want him gone

I think the international break is the last thing we need, its been part of our problem

Don't think it's anything to do with what we need but if any changes are to be made this is 100 % the most sensible time to make it

That next international break is not far away and you would assume this would be the week anything could happen.

I love Dean and in my dream scenario he is the guy that leads us to the top.

At the moment this team and management are leading us towards a relegation battle.

For our still relatively new owners, this could be the biggest few weeks of their time here. 

I pray they get it right. To be honest I have no idea what should be done right now.

I so wish Buendia chose Arsenal in the summer.

Any Norwich fan you speak to will tell you he never looked good as a 10, all his best play came from the right, yet Smith refuses to play him on right 

Why is Ollie Watkins still on the pitch, are they blind on sideline

Everyone of us wants Dean to turn this around but my god this has been shocking management in last few weeks

Once again… VAR gets pulled in to allow the powers that be to dictate a result to how they want it so not to upset the status quo…

There no excuse here , it's a penalty end of, if you put yourself in a position where you are diving in to clear a ball in the box then you are asking for trouble to begin with 

Worst performance under Smith, 2:0 doesn't tell story we could 6 or 7 down

Bailey and Ramsey on for Watkins and Tuanzabe

If he doesn't change it at halftime he is a joke

Get bailey on this is a joke

I've no problems starting like this but if it isn't going well change it, don't just make like for like substitutions and expect it to change outcome

I have a funny feeling that this page might be quite busy soon.....

You have to question him after that, the goals papered over the fact we were getting outnumbered in the middle of the field and he takes midfielder like for like

Ramsey or Sanson?

We need more penetration and/or control and drive in the middle.

The positive is, we know we actually have quality personell to change this.

If Sanson is fully fit then Sanson , the workrate he brought in the Chelsea game is actually what we need

Traore drifting inside has been a real issue

Love to see us sacrifice Tuanzabe to get Sanson on, switch to a 4 at back with Watkins playing to left bunedia to the right, luiz and mcginn really look like they are getting out numbered
