True, but the players all over the pitch should still be able to play with some sort of urgency and tempo one would think. They won't, though. Not when there's so much emphasis on the team keeping their shape.

One poor showing? I can think of 5 poor showings at home in the league. Out of 11 it's absolutely not good enough.

Three essentially defensive midfielders and one striker at home to nobodies in Championship is inexcusable, like. We're so easy to park the bus against it's embarrassing.

Another pitiful home defeat to a shit outfit. Quality.

Another exhibition in utterly shit wing play by Yoam Alsoran.

Delph as a replacement for Shelvey? What?

Missing Shelvey obviously. Absolutely critical to have a playmaker in front of the defence in such a rigid system. We really need to go 4-4-2 with Mitrovic next to Gayle with Shelvey suspended imo.

Imagine planning to never watch Home Alone, man. Imagine going through life like that.

He was contracted to nufc for 6 years. Jeez. One of those players where the first thing I tried to do was get rid of them in FM like Steven Carr, Ameobi etc. Babayaro, Tony Caig.

Problem with Perez playing as a striker is any CB worth their salt in this league or higher will mark him out of the game with ease. Rafa knows he isn't a no.9, anyway, so we won't be seeing him there anytime soon.

Aye, that's like Kirk Douglas saying someone is old as fuck.

You're an awful poster, man. I used to think TCD and Ian Wum were bad.

He's not a winger, though. He just gets put out there so he can play the free role.

WTF is this?

If Ian W does not want him, then Benitez should do the right thing and set him lose "He's a hero. You turn him loose. Turn him loose!"

The awful dross in the PL are on another planet to the dross we face each week in this league. I think you're kidding yourself about the quality of our players, like. We basically need a whole new defence and keeper (if Krul doesn't return) if and when we get promoted. I don't even wanna start with the midfield and wide options, and we all know we need at least one striker.

I think Brighton pushing us is a blessing, like. Helps negate complacency, on the pitch and hopefully in the window.

I really like Conte. Happy to see him doing well even if it is with Chelsea.

Great team.

Bit of a strange point to make, like. I still wouldn't sell Mito. There aren't too many strikers like him around these days and if he can learn to play within himself a bit he's a very good option off the bench, regardless of the league.

It's definitely possible to tell when you look at his competition.

Haidara, Krul, De Jong, Saviet can all go like. Aye, selling our best goalkeeper by a mile makes perfect sense.

Moyes is in a complete no-win situation now, mind. Wouldn't be surprised to see him walk on Feb 1.
