But we replace him with Hayden and we're no better. We replace Merino with Hayden and we're no better. Defensively they're technically stronger players but we still get fucked in midfield. We play 2 defensive midfielders with Perez working his arse off ahead of them and we're still awful in midfield. Shelvey isn't a great midfielder but he's easily the best we have on the ball, it doesn't amount to anything though as with him out of the side we're still weak in midfield and with him in the side we still create nowt.

Aye but it still amounts to nothing as the team is rubbish. We replace Shelvey with Hayden and we still create fuck all and get fucked in midfield, we replace him with another Merino and we'll still create fuck all and get fucked in midfield. Shelvey sauntering about the pitch has literally zero negative impact on us over the competition as we've seen when he's out of the side. He's never going to be a dynamic midfielder. It's all a lie anyway, people couldn't give a shit about attitude hence how Ritchie is getting slated, and Dummett (who's an average Premiership fullback) gets the same. When we're shit it's just open season on anyone for any reason.

Merino's a good example actually, despite not being the finished article he's physically imposing, good tackler, great in the air, decent enough passer who looks forward, seems to have good strike on him, good technique, yet he's still not able to impose himself properly in midfield and make a decent impact on the game. We're just absolutely shite.

It wouldn't have counted as an assist. Our entire squad is shite. Without Shelvey starting we've still been getting battered despite him apparently being the problem in midfield. Merino and Hayden (and Diame) have been no better.

I turned it off as soon as I saw the red card (my central heating needed adjusting) but the BBC have described it as such: and I'll have to see it again like because it looked a genuine attempt to win the ball with one leg and I think he might actually have played it. Was it a straight red? 2nd yellow. Just re-read it Though it was like, confused by them describing it as a 'horrible lunge'. I'll have to watch it again like.

Everton full on Allardyced us in the 2nd half like. He wasn't good but we've struggled to break teams down for years, we desperately need a number 10 who isn't fucking pitiful.

Thought he did a couple of things well and was otherwise out of the game with everyone else. His link up play isn't too bad.

Was good enough first half along with everyone else (other than Darlow). Disappeared 2nd half along with everyone else. Was sent off for no reason. I sentence you to LIFE IN JAIL.

Said it a million times but he was never given a clear budget and had to sell to buy - not knowing when he'd get the money and at what point - and was undermined on top of that. If it was up to him we've have had Tammy Abraham or Lucas Perez instead of Joselu for a start.

He did absolutely nothing wrong

Did he not get the ball? Looked well harsh Looked like he did, even if he never it was close. Completely pointless sending off.

That was never a sending off like

That cheering man

Not sure Diame is fully in control of his body.

Should dip his gloves in the cunt

Make him eat a full jar of his hold level 5 hair gel.

Aye I was thinking exactly that.

Goid half other than Darlow’s basic error. Really annoying if we do n’t win this, they’re shite.

Similar to Mitro vs Lanzini Ref looking right at it. Not even a free kick.

Similar to Mitro vs Lanzini

Fucking hell man

Mitrovic was banned for 3 games for that.

These are there for the taking like, cannot believe fucking Darlow.
