Aye, some rancid posts tonight.

I think this is where we see Diame play to give us some drive from deeper areas.

Hoping this is true, maybe Rafa would do us all a favour and banish him to Portland with the other chuckle brother.

No more Perez set pieces please.

Hanley looks very shaky.

What a cunt. Nah man, it's atleast worthy of discussion though, everyone's just glossed over it. Wasn't a pen for me either fwiw. Why? Didn't deny him a clear goal scoring opportunity Imo

Crap match, should have had a pen, they scored a free header from a corner, people very upset. Perfect summary.

Actually thought he'd be ok at this level, how wrong I was.

Rafa out aye?

Need to inject some tempo in the game. Its killing us. Think that's the idea with the early balls forward into the channels, problem is Colback and Dummett tend to be playing them.

Just think we need another central midfielder. Shelvey isn't suited to Rafa'a set up on face value, particularly away from home.

Perez has made a few runs and exploited the space a Gayle has created, his touch and decision making has let him down.

Colback has been awful, he's offered absolutely nothing.

Colback isn't even good enough for this level. We are tactically disciplined but are struggling to play through Fulham, need to exploit the wide areas. Shelvey for Colback. Aaron's for Anita please.

Too early to know i think, be had a knock last week maybe he's not quite 100%?

Ridiculous cunt, this is a system he was happy to work under and advocated. Glass back cunt.

Stealing a living like he did when he "managed" us.

Not surprised, we pretty much knew yesterday. It's just not as dangerous as I'd have liked, granted I don't know player fitness and that. Hopefully Hayden and Anita put a positive shift in. I know this will become clichéd but its balanced. Janmaat provides the width with Anita supporting him, Ritchie does the same on the left. Colback links the lines as hayden covers, Ayoze provides support for Gayle. It's not gung ho by any means but its balanced and stable on paper at least..

Are people surprised /unhappy with the lineup?

Naaa wil be 4231. Team as expected given the bibs in the training.

How is he?

Most Rafa like so far.
