Really hope Hodgson goes with a midfield three of Dier, Alli and Barkley.

Nope, he's shite. Oh. Surely we're better than looking at options from Championship side Hull City's bench?

Nope, he's shite.

Come on, mate. We didn't come close to scoring against one of the worst defences in the league and once again our hideous central defence was exposed for what it is. We're concede for fun and struggle to break teams down. We're heading for the Championship without significant investment in January. We're going to struggle to break sides down when they sit so deep but we were never in any danger of losing the game until the penalty. We have weaknesses, no doubt, but I wouldn't be using that game as an indication of where we are as a team.

No need to panic after this. Comfortably controlling the game until the ref screwed us over.

The window licker calling Freddie Woodman 'Fred'. Literally nobody else refers to him as that, annoying as fuck.

Gordon Strachan, not Shearer.

Hope he tries to justify picking Gouffran in central midfield. That'll be a right laugh.

I've thought it for ages tbf. Miles better than HBA, Cabaye, Ba, Remy, Cisse, Yanga-Mbiwa and Santon to name a few.

Mark Douglas: So people seem very down on Gouffran. Is it really just two years ago we were hailing him as arguably the best signing of the Ashley era? :lol:

Glad to see we're writing Thauvin off already. Pathetic. Just move Sissoko or Wijnaldum inside ffs.

What a bunch of bellends, man.

Oh look, he 'never defended'. Must have been shite then. Get in the fucking sea.

Resisted at first but then he replied to someone else banging on about being overweight again. Left him something to come back to, think I'll just call him a clueless cunt and have done with it if he replies.

A comment tonight on a mate's Facebook about Hatem scoring... "Fat useless overrated wanker, kicked out of every club he has been at but of course it's pardews fault, everything is, even the FIFA corruption scandal is Pardews fault..." Fucking moron.

Best thing about him is that he's actually capable of winning tackles. Unbelievable debut.

Should be the first name on the teamsheet every single week. Class act.

Nice of Alexis to finally score. He was coming out this week, might have to rethink now.

Good work from the linesmen in the Spurs-Man City game...

He did, as did Lascelles. You can't say that about unpopular players though! He's unpopular because of how utterly shit he's been over the last five years.

His kicking was awful last night. I know that comes as no great surprise but it needs sorting under the new regime.

Get in the sea, Cisse.

How are Cisse and Colback still on the pitch ffs?

One of the worst bits of defending I've ever seen.
