buzza

He's on 350k a week, we could maybe affors him in ten years time!!!

I can't fault his effort and work-rate, he always gives 100%. He never shies away from a tackle and is always willing. Value for money; yep, one of the best we have had. BUT: He is a yard slower than when we signed him, he takes an age to turn due to his size and stature, his control and then pass to whoever is available is the slowest on our team. There are very few progressive passes and he is so easy to read via his body shaping. We need Botman back or/and an upgrade asap! Can see the same happening to schar, but his passing and passing speed is on another level. Sorry to be a moaner, but his pace of play really makes it easy for the opposition and it hurts to watch at times.

Yep, Dibling looks a real talent and he plays in that 10 position or just floating in advanced midfield. Pick him up in jan before the summer aiction takes place. Looks a generational talent!!

He's done well for us and is one of our own, but ask the question; how many teams would have him in their starting defence and you are deffo in the last third of the table...

Would keep Tino on, you could ruin his confidence by dropping him... Also think we should have this midfield if willock is fit: Bruno--tonali--willock Gordon--isak--big J

The problem Sandro had was that he was broight on to help us get a goal or two back i.e. all out attack. He was not really there to act as a defensive pivot... Their third goal killed us, our defending of a deep free kick was pathetic. Their fourth goal was some crsip passing and our players far too far up the pitch trying to get a goal. First half looked like we would win it, but we made a couple of mistakes. Second half they played some nice one touch football against our dilly dallying on passes and slow approach. They deserved the win!

He´s having a very good game, unlucky that snap shot hit the bar!!

Just needs to show him the byline more, Mbuemo is their version of our antony; loves to cut inside

aye, first goal from Mbuemo was very weak, lewis gave him far too much room and let him cut inside which is how he scores all his goals!!

If only Isac had of scored that one!! Bit Too many cross pitch balls that are turning into mistakes. All in all very even game, doing well and with the 60 minute subs to come on we should do this lot!!!

Murphy and longstaff will be more to annul Mbuemo than anything else. They are better defensively than they are attacking wise, that´s for sure

Aye, his major attacking trait is to blast past the winger on the outside... couldnt do it last night with murph there. Looks like we need to sign another winger who likes to come inside (inverted).

Mcallister had two fierce shots from outside the area, his shooting skills are pretty good. Bruno looks better in the 8 and or double pivot position. So we dont depend on him being the recovery midfielder as he just doesnt have the pace...

Lookednlike Tonali played the n°6 role last night and bruno kind of swapped between a right 8 and double pivot when needed. Anyone else notice that Joe linton in the first half was like a n°10 and he looled really good

Like Tonali in the n° 6 role. Get bruno a bit further up the pitch

I thought he should have pushed the ball wide for that one on one and go for the penalty, just doesn't have the composure...

Cool as cats this one!!!

Top, top defender ...and goalscorer!

You can look at this result two ways: Salah is unreal Or Dan Burn slipped twice and hall didnt head the ball. If Botman was in the team, I say we beat these lot today!

If we try and play a high back line against these lot we will get hammered. As well as they have been playing, both big dan and hall are pretty slow and can only see Salah galloping through them like a hot knife through butter... I still hope we pull a worldy agains them and repay them for the past few agonising defeats!!

I thought Tino was great defensively but awful going forward yesterday. Most of his final ball was really bad and his runs were not timed very well.

Sean should have been hooked at half time, why he waited another 15 mins was beyond my logic. Tonali wasn't that much better but it should have been done earlier

Saying that, the ex manu defender was class tonight

His lack of pace keeps getting him cuaght on the ball, or the lack of movement in front of him. Wish one of his teamates would give him a shout???

We should have been home and dry in the first half, we were all over them but for a decent final ball. Silly mistake, let a goal in and exactly the same as brighton; they perk up and we fade... I thought the players heads and energy just went in the second half. We don't have a player who can unlock defences and that sort of player costs a huge amount. I don't really blame eddie because allnof our midfield and our defence were a shambles tonight. Kelly, livra, bruno, joes, gordon all went missing... what can he do?
