We actually look quite good and Dubravka looks class.

I gradually think worse of Colo as Lascelles progresses. What a shithouse captain and leader he was.

I'm hanging on to the hope that Lascelles was brought off as a precaution. At least he wasn't stretchered off. Maybe the gameplan was to keep him on until we got a goal? After all jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

We were in this right until the 90th minute, not many teams can say that about their performance against City. Can't believe some boners on here have slagged off Benítez for his approach tonight.

Wasn't able to see the match but checked the score after 10 mins and pretty much accepted relegation the little cunt I am. Hopefully we turned a corner here and will be able to build on that with a few additions next month. God bless.

The backline also look like they have zero confidence in Darlow. Merino needs to gather his head and realize he's part of a midfield two.

Joselu you absolute legend. New it from the get go you were world class and a goal machine.

We should be in for Walcott maybe for a loan deal. Could use some pace and PL experience and he's getting no playing time with a World Cup coming up. Was surprised to see he scored 19 goals last season so he's far from finished, also pretty bizarre to think he's only a year older than Joselu.

Sort of anticipating this time round Pardew won't be getting his usual 'purple patch' and will lead WBA straight towards relegation. No one cares about WBA either way, such a nothing club. Would appreciate both him and the club fading into obscurity.

So we have a single striker who at least does seem to understand the general concept of a goal and he can't even make it to the bench.

Don't know what Everton were thinking with their transfers this summer. This is the second time Gylfi Sigurðsson has been brought to a club without being assigned to play in his designated position. Don't really know what he was thinking either.

I'll be very, very disappointed if both of Joselu and Perez start the next game.

Not sure if Diame can handle any more, been decent tbf.

Wasn't he supposed to be decent in the air? He's obviously low on confidence and isn't getting great service but he just poses so little threat. I'm ready to give him the next game against Burnley but anything more than that can barely be justified.

I literally had no idea that Drinkwater had left for Chelsea for 35 mil.

Liverpool are going to try and pinch him in January aren't they?

Is Andrew Robertson injured or can't he get a game for Liverpool? We could do a lot worse than have him at left back.

If anyone needs a sum up of everything that's wrong with coaching in British football - there you are. No wonder there's not a single manager from the UK worth their salt. No wonder British clubs can't develop players. No wonder this cunt failed miserably as a manager.

That was fucking awful but so valuable to take 3 points from these sort of fixtures. Thought Lejeune was very impressive. Manquillo was awful and we have to replace him with either Mbemba or even Clark. Very fragile in defense and offers fuck all going forward. I don't know where we would be without Ritchie's deliveries because we surely don't have a single player who can beat a man to create a chance. I'm not quite sure if Ayoze should even start ahead of Diame, the shape of the team was a whole lot better when he arrived.

Merino you absolute fucking legend

The ballboy immediately one of our best passers of the ball.

A lot of misplaced passes for one?

Ayoze + Joselu upfront is a nightmare. Wrong to take Hayden off instead of Shelvey, he's been utter tripe.

Aye he has nothing to his game. Doesn't win headers, run the channels, press or show up in the box when the wingers are approaching.

We're crying out for Merino. Can't retain the ball nor beat a man.
