I get it with the likes of Doumbia but Mbemba doesn't even look old. He has a good hairline, his face is youthful. There's basically nothing about him that makes him look older than 23.
I think we'll buy in January regardless of a takeover and I think Rafa will eventually see us right, but our squad is the worst in the league. That was looking pretty likely way back at the start of the season but it's pretty blatant now.
I can see why Shelvey didn't start, I'm struggling to see why Diame starts ahead of Hayden though. I missed the first half and some have said he was fine like.
He fell asleep and then made a rash challenge with Lejune covering. LB or not, it’s basic mistakes and piss poor from him.
Yeah he was shit, I'd place the blame at his door if he was flying back from RW to lunge in on a player in the box.
Everyone will look better when we stop shipping 3 goals a game because we cannot defend for shite.
I'm not going to blame Ritchie for being rinsed by Moses as he's not a left back.
Maybe because our form with Shelvey starting is absolutely horrendous?
And our form with Diame starting?
It was a 2 part question though, why ahead of Hayden then?
Lascelles been out looks massive like. We've went from a really steady side to a side that ships goals every time someone nonces a half decent ball into the box.
Regardless of how I view his subs or his insistence on playing what I believe to be an actual ghost up front I think we're probably sitting on ateast 3 more points over the past few games if he's fit.
