To my eyes it just looked like the ref had it in for him. Giving fouls for fair challenges. Booking him for the first real foul he comitted.

Struggling to see the point of his signing to be honest. Not convinced he's even better than Gamez. And he certainly didn't deserve to replace Mbemba. Just really weird and not needed.

I hate how low energy we are as a team. No effective pressing from a supposedly "hard working" team is always annoying.

Another 6ft 3+ striker. Guess we're set on a big man then.

Somehow Ashley has managed to get even worse compared to in the past. Everytime you think its rock bottom, he finds a way

I thought Hayden steadily improved to a point then just went off a cliff.

But if Merino is unfit, which is he is - then Shelvey is clearly the best option we have. I'd argue that fact even if Merino was fit. I've said it a million times and am sick of the sound of my own voice, but he's one of few with genuine quality (visible today) and to want him out is madness in our current situation/position. Agree. Merino and Shelvey on the pitch might actually sometimes allow us to look like a football team. It shouldn't be one or the other. They aren't even similar in the role they play

in reality, just play Murphy, Atsu and Perez. I think those three together are our best hope of hurting teams both with runnning off the ball and on it. Don't care who else plays really. Diame's doing well lately so him. Shelvey and Merino can both pick a pass if someone makes a run. But in reality, if the three I mentioned start, I'll be reasonably confident.

And then up step Newcastle. Perfect fixture when you're on a bad run.

Did for Leicester's winner. Went over to Lejeune and left his side of the box completely free.

Urgh, Howay then. Kenedy, Murphy, Atsu and Perez into the lineup. Go at them with some pace for once.

Well, at least we got our official closed for business early this year.

I don't think it was the fault of Perez or Mitrovic like. They did well for a pair of younger strikers in and out of the team alot.

Peter Lovenkrands was a better player than Gayle.

Dissapointed. Thought he'd know better than to trust anything Theresa May says.

You know the score Kanji

That's a simple pass Isaac ffs.

Never want to see Manquillo, Haidara, Ritchie, Hayden or Gayle again please.

Gayle and Ritchie standing so close they might aswell be holding hands.

Fuck off man Clark.

Needs to be up top every game on account of being the only one who can actually move.

Could do with Murphy's directness here. Strange how often I'm saying that lately.

At least Shelvey has a go.

Is there a reason Clark's gone walkies there?

What's Isaac Hayden supposed to be doing today?
