Unbelievable

Are people seriously suggesting that playing Gouffran in centre mid ahead of giving a young promising midfielder courted by Europe's elite a cup game vs league 2 opposition in his correct position is defensible because it's less risky to play the senior player who has proven time and time again to be absolute poo (in that position)?

I'll take Palace at home

Get in, good result

Negredoooooooooooo

He's done that a couple of times before, which many seemingly simply forgot as he would always be dropped for no reason soon after.

Same here. I doubt we were even in for him otherwise we wouldn't have given Colo a new contract. Yep

I don't mind Gouffran as much as most on here seemingly do, but why three successive 'managers' keep playing him in midfield or out wide while it couldn't be clearer that he's useless in these positions is baffling, league two opposition or not. Why not for example give Bigi a game in his natural position to see what he can do if we a absolutely cannot risk any first teamers there (gotta love that new cup policy)?

Mahrez

West Ham's defending

God damn, so so good

Cowardice

Colo

Saylor

Mitro

Get in Vern

Ayoze

Obertan ffs

Clear foul on Anita ffs

Sheeeettttt

We're set up all wrong in midfield, simple as that.

Anita

Phew, not sure at all

Mitro

I'm shocked. I'm sure you are. If he would have made the right decisions I would have been impressed. Just don't complain afterwards that we got killed in midfield, that Obertan was a complete waste of a shirt once again and that Mbemba looked like he didn't know what he was supposed to do at right back.
