Realistically we are shit at home. No win since Palace October. We often take the lead in games but rarely see out a win. I just cant fathom why so many each week predict wins?

Agree. Benitez needs to show more faith in him.

Got smashed by whoopi goldberg

I hear myself saying this about a load of different players. Caballero, Abraham for instance, would have made a massive difference Tammy Abraham. What happened to him? Certainly not scoring, is he even playing... Wasn’t he injured recently? I’d still have trusted him to stick away half the chances Joselu and Gayle have had No. He doesn't appear to be injured. Maybe behind the Ayew in selection, He may get a sniff now Bony is out for the season.

Whats with the sudden poncey name changes to threads.

Think Dummet Mo and Kenedy had good first halfs. That's it. So many lads have gone backwards, or just simply look invisible or unable to compete at PL standard.

This lads utterly shit. But he's really fast and has really trendy hair styles.??

Shite. No Murphy starting again.

Just seen on bbc Swansea have lost both Bony and Fer for the season.

Andros Townsend is likely to be sidelined, along with Jeffrey Schlupp, Scott Dann, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jason Puncheon and Conor Wickham. Bakari Sako also. The Burnley side on Wednesday was weak and we didn't take advantage, albeit for some shoddy finishing. We have another chance with them having some fairly good players missing. I just hope this time we can get a win.

Pretty much said this also. I just get a feeling Rafa will try and play defensively away and use kenedy and Yedlin as wingbacks. He really should recognise kenedy is a threat going forward though. Its what most sides do now.Liverpool Man City etc. Pacey inside forwards bombing on, and a target man

I couldnt locate the new goalie on the fut thing. Diame is getting praise of late, but creativity and forward thinking attacking, Id go shelvey. Lejuene injured, I wish Rafa would give this side a go vs palace. But away from home id expect defensive set up, maybe wingbacks. Hope not kenedy was superb as an attacking player.

Rafa's always slow with recognising this. For me after his City performance,should have started.

Looked very good, attacking and creative, busy. I will be pissed off if after that we see him thrown further back, Left back, Left wing back. Needs to be a threat, and was tonight. Keep him part of the attacking three or wide midfield. Looked a natural attacking. Imagine if we had got Luan also with this fella.

Looks like Darlow with bum fluff

Your missus signed in on your account tonight?

Yup. Dummett looks like a vegan in a butcher shop. Just an awful player, and not very good defender either. Yedlin made more mistakes than the rest of the team combined. He's going backwards in a big way. The less said about Joselu the better Great im not the only one noting this. Its Santon all over again but on the other side. Many hate it on here if players get a hard time, but he will cost us points if we dont find an answer with him or someone else. How far away from fitness is Sterry? Is he still with the club atm? Id be tempted to try someone else, the only back up Manquillo who's equally turd.

Kennedy was class, hope we dont see him at LB looks far to creative to be pushed out there, him and Murphy will be a threat from the wings, much more pace in the side with those two, im sure Slimani would get opportunities from Kennedy and Murphy. On the down side, Joselu, where do you start with him... such a crap pen then misses a great chance to see the game out and grab a desperate home win. Its such a predicament that we always seem to hang onto a player like this, you think you have pushed out the worst players when Colback is moved on, but now we have this twat. Still dont get why Rafa gives him time. Also another problem is Yedlin, the lad is a total liability at the back, really worries me, he is awful. On the plus side we didnt lose, but we should have been out of sight.

That Burnley side looks beatable, by no means their strongest side. Really ought to be able to get something from this. I was not expecting much from this game, but seeing the side they have out gives me a bit of hope.

Marcos Llorente in on loan WTS

We've loaned out a player Benitez won't even have in the squad for a player he wants, that's win win for me like. Also minimum 3 games?, based on what? We only have 3 games in the next 30 days. He's rumoured to be out for either 5-6 days or 2 weeks. 3 games include tonight. Then will need to get fit for next game so likely wont be named as a starter and slim chance makes the bench? And Leicester when we play them will have loan agreement he can't face former club. Anyone we sign today would miss tonight. In fact anyone we'd have signed yesterday or the day before would miss tonight since Benitez doesn't rush players into the team before preparing them in training. Yeah but im looking at him being lucky to be ready for the Man Utd game. And obviously missing Leicester. Its not about being a pessimist or a moaner. Simply is it enough? In my eyes we need a few more yet,Or I dont think it will be enough. Swansea out of the bottom 3, WBA strengthened. We cant win home games. Id be a bit worried if we are pinning our hope on Slimani. ?? It might not be enough, I'm just disagreeing with the notion that this won't improve us because we've just loaned one out and one in. That's a overly simplistic way of looking at it and the reality is quite different. Also WBA have signed one extremely injury prone striker on loan. Wasn't saying originally 1 out 1 in. Was saying we haven't added. You claim we have if Rafa plays this player and didnt use Mitrovic. Reality though we haven't added. My main argument would be we haven't spent to add quality. If this player is a loan in the loan out has helped finance some or most of it. So the 20m we could have used on Jorgensen, where is that going? And the "spend what it takes to keep us up" drivel? Back to the point, are we doing enough, are we getting bodies in? If this guy gets injured again rushing back early or something, then back to square one. Spend now get the extra cover, or we will struggle.
