Really? He's been brilliant whenever I've seen him this season Rodrigo, Daniel Sturridge and Marcos Alonso all played for Bolton at the same time Gary Cahill too

Agreed. He's one in our current squad who has it in him to raise his level, Lejuene definitely another. We need better players throughout the squad to see that happen though. Would definitely keep starting Shelvey, our best creative player by a distance - yes we need to work harder as a team but dropping Shelvey and losing his ability is suicidal for us.

Good. Everyone seems to be raving about him but every time I see him all he does is fall to the floor to win free kicks. I think they just like saying his name or something. Bloke’s a nob. Runs in the family Gini seems like a nice lad tbf.

Based on what? Based on what I've seen of him so far I'd say he's better. Before the Man United game people were praising Lejuene so I don't see how 2 games later he's suddenly the next coming of Titus Bramble. Why is he better? Clark was solid last year but has looked dodgy this season at a higher level, and so has Lejuene in the last two games but he's much more comfortable on the ball than Clark. I know his job is to defend first but I'm confident he'll improve and has much more potential than Clark imo. Absolutely spot on.

I haven't seen it, but god forbid Elliot makes a howler one week. He'll be crucified. Poor bloke.

Why do you need new flags every 2 weeks? Just fly the same ones and rotate them from game to game. Better to keep the consistency and brilliant atmosphere generated by you lot than to lose momentum.

Worse without Lascelles in it, that's the key.

Wtf is he getting the blame for now man Bloody hell, pure witch hunt.

Probably his worst game for us yesterday but people are going over the top. He's played about 4 matches for us and looked sublime at times. Given defenders always take longer to settle in, I think it's very unreasonable to say he's a bad defender. He could be absolutely excellent for us.

Anyway, to those who are so sure that Huddersfield are better than us, what about when they got beat 4-1 by 10 man Bournemouth last week? Were they better than us then? I get the frustrations but a bit of perspective doesn't go a miss

All about to come crashing down when Pards arrives in town. Atleast he can get a cushy little house in Shropshire and enjoy the scenes until the inevitable fall. He should take up photography or something.

It'll be forgotten about in a few weeks when we've picked up some points man. Wouldn't worry about it too much. The tides change quickly in football, the ebbs and flows are all part of the excitement.

At the moment. Lets see where we all are at the end of the season. I'm confident we'll finish above at least one of them.

Don't really have a problem with him other than that he's just not good enough for our team.

Arsenal overtake Spurs.

Pleased for him. Needs to start has many games as possible, even when Atsu is back. Think Murphy can really kick on for us this season and solidify his starting position for next season.

Really like Andy Robertson, think he would suit us and bring balance. Out of the question at the moment though.

Wonder how many goals Jordan Pickford has conceded in his short career so far Must be a particularly high number.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility if changes are made. Agreed, I think we have enough to compete with the likes of West Brom as long as we play the right players. I know Lascelles is out, but Merino, Perez & Mitrovic should all be in for me. We all shouted for 442 but clearly it hasn't worked for whatever reason, and despite the fact I respect Rafa for changing it up and giving it a go, I think it's time to revert back to what was working for us before, the 4231. This is also what he knows best and knows how to make the most of with limited resources. Perez is not perfect but you know what you're getting with him and despite the stick he gets, he has created a lot of chances/goals for us this season through his sheer tenacity. We could do with that back in the side. Particularly so, when the players operating in his position currently are having a nightmare. Regarding Manquillo, he's getting a lot of stick, but honestly I'm not sure what other option Rafa has, for whatever reason he won't play Mbemba there again, so once Dummett is back he may start and you will find people complaining about him as well, perhaps rightly so. Rafa is in a tough situation in numerous positions on the pitch, where we simply don't have any quality or any depth in quality and we're suffering because of it. It's a hard situation he's making harder for himself unfortunately, by persisting with the likes of Joselu & Diame when everyone can see they're hideously out of form or just lacking any real quality. Still, I'm positive about what's ahead, he will have us appear a more solid unit again as we have already seen at times this season, hopefully we can get our best players (Merino, Lascelles) back to full fitness and kick on over/after the christmas period. Was never going to be easy and we're seeing that now, but we're still probably sitting higher than any of us expected, even at 14th.

Well unless our tactics going to be thread through balls for Gayle, which it's not, then I don't see how he's going to effective based off what you have said there.

Not a fan of him in this league mate, doesn't make enough happen himself. Can't remember him even touching the ball yesterday, Mitrovic saw more of it in 10 minutes because he demanded it. Gayle doesn't have that in his game, shirks away.

The one where he was through on goal and slid for no apparent reason was far worse. He had time for a touch and everything. Really bad football.

Thought you had to actually look half decent to be playing for move? He's not very good at all.

Shaky but actually looked to play the ball forward on a few occasions including a good through ball that Mitrovic didn't read in time.

Best/only player we had today.
