  1. Amazing defending from Yedlin to let the ball travel that far and then not even challenge for it.
  2. Gaps everywhere in our midfield. Don't think 442 works for us.
  3. Amazing finish from Silva, like. To get the direction and power on it when he was so off balance was great.
  4. Not making excuses for his performance last night, but I think he'd be a lot better with a striker in front of him that actually moves.
  5. Thought he was good. We lost our shape considerably when he came off.

    Jacob Murphy

    If we'd spent £50m on the squad, the Murphy signing wouldn't stand out so much. Using a significant percentage of the budget on him is a severe oversight, but Rafa probably didn't know how little more he was gonna be able to spend. The lad needs about six months of eating beef and lifting weights if he's gonna have a hope in the Premier League. That's not really my concern with his play. He literally just seems to want to kick it past people and run. No creativity or flair about his game, which is what he'll need at this level.
  7. Amazes me that we spent so much money on Murphy when a goalkeeper upgrade would've been so easy.
  8. No way Krul doesn't save that first one, like.
  9. Joselu is offering nothing. Not even beating Yoshida in the air.

    England

    This team is really lacking a central player with intelligent movement. Lallana or someone similar would make a big difference.
  11. Joselu has been poor. An on form Gayle making runs in behind on the counter would be more useful to us.
  12. We don't have anyone other than Perez to play as a 10. Nobody else in our squad is good enough in tight spaces to play that position. You could simply not play a 10 and have a midfield 3 of Hayden, Merino and Shelvey, but that's not Rafa's system and we'd have to defend a lot higher up the pitch for it to work.
  13. Playing against Huddersfield as though they're a top 4 side. Depressingly familiar.
  14. Could explain why signings have been delayed.
  15. I thought the mutant ninja turtles were American anyway
