its a strange one. not sure which tapes rafa had been watching. as soon as it was known we were signing him, there were plenty on here already calling Sels out for not being able to catch a ball. Was there? Doubt many here watched the Belgian league regularly. It's a thing about not adapting and confidence being down surely. Wasn't he chosen the best goalkeeper in the Belgian league, surely can't have been this bad and yet won it. definitely a couple. this was from minhosa "Just watched a Youtube compilation of his best saves from 2015-16 season. The video is 4.32 mins long. For the first half he hardly catches a ball . Every save is a punch/tip back into danger ."

we were far the better team first half and should have gone in at least 2-0 up at half time.

no problem with rafa starting that team - we could have been two or three up at half time. think we should have made more positive substitutions earlier though.

Groo, Groo. Where are you?

yeah noticed that too. got a load of abuse from where we were sat for that. practically bottled the header.

he was alright today, man.

we had the better of the chances first half and could have been 2 or 3 up before they equalised. we had at least 2 good chances in the second. wasnt all one-way. they can say they were without their best players but so were we losing both hayden and gayle early on, then anita and having to completely change formation. we were there for the taking and brentford couldnt manage it. tough titties.

sign his brothers too and get the whole clan playing for us. shelvey would love it.

just a friggin ronald koeman red card away.

feet first, studs up?

could have won it in the second half had murphy been a bit more positive - that was an excellent cross across the face of goal by ritche that just needed a touch.

Was the keeper even booked? think it was careless/wreckless rather than deliberate.

that double-handed slap at the ball yesterday under absolutely no pressure was absolutely shite, and lascelles let him know it too.

that sels flap/slap was ridiculous. lascelles bollocked him for it, telling him he should have caught it.

studs up challenge from the keeper, and no where near the ball.

nee highlights on bbc website??? most of the other 3rd round matches are up already.

Won't make any difference mate. The only league game he will miss is Brentford, regardless of what we do in the cup he'd be back for brentford as he'd have missed 3 league games and 2 in the cup. the replay would be before brentford. The replay is after brentford. cheers. i was just clutching at straws.

would rather draw than win. really have to get shelvey back asap for the league.

rafa had made positive changes to an extent after sheff wed and it produced a slightly better performance against forest. what was the f***ing point of reverting back again??? yedlin should have been in with anita possibly in colbacks place.

darlow yedlin lascelles clark dummet hayden diame ritchie perez atsu gayle

neither of them as good as lauren robert's overhead backheel goal for us. forgot who it was against.
