Hate to say it because it's early days but this is not really any different to the games under Bruce this season.

 

Don't really understand sticking with 3 CBs when it includes a championship right back in there and we actually don't have any proper wing backs. Absolutely hate this system with these players - just amplifies all our biggest weaknesses.

 

Under Bruce we'd have been 2 down before half time.

Aye and one of the, come to us and he’s been a waste of fucking air!

That’s the thing, clearly Wilock is very talented but but not as part of a central midfield two. He’s a forward thinking player who has no bravery so pairing him with Shelvey at this level is just poor selection. 
 

hopefully Howe learns from this as doesn’t try it again against a side which is much beater than we are and love to overload The Central midfield.

Murphy has been great since he came on.

 

Yeah he's great going forward, could say the same for Ritchie and Fraser. Just all of them aren't defenders and that's where they are found wanting. 

 

We are desperate for some quality full backs.

At least we're moving in the right direction. No Clarke or Darlow today. Next match we'll see how it goes without Ritchie and Lascelles.

Today yes, not against Brentford.

 

This is why I wanted Jones gone, we needed a proper clean break.

Aye it's him, joelinton or almiron behind Wilson.

 

Hayden has to be alongside shelvey who wasn't bad tbf.

I don’t care, we have been shit, are shit, and deserve this. Ducking abysmal performance again!

Dragging Howe into it earlier on though? Howay :lol:

He's been locked in his hotel room all week and we're playing a fairly competent side with an infinitely better squad than ours. 

 

We are shite, and that's not in doubt. Can we be less shite than Norwich on Tuesday? That's all that matters at the moment.
