I can see us finishing on 36 points and having to hope other results go our way

mccarthy cedric yoshida hoedt bertrand hojbjerg lemina ward prouse tadic redmond gabbiadini

Don't think this is the time to be getting on players backs. The likes of boufal lemina and gabbi seem to be getting major stick when tbh they have been no worse then the rest of the squad on their day they are definitely capable. Could be that boefal was getting a strop about being in and out of the side all season can also see why gabbiadini could be frustrated. Left on the bench most of the time then given 20 mins max to make an impact! When he has started he's always made good movenment and has good finishing when getting the right service

why? wouldnt it just devalue the premier league?, best players would all want to play in the super league and we would still get our players poached

i thought this formation might suit pre game, problem is we need to get the wingbacks forward to provide the width then should be plenty of options

Never thought I'd be saying this but long is probably our most important player since Hughes has been in charge, once he went off we had zero pace up top. Not sure why hughes brought on Davies instead of a more pacy option like Sims or Redmond earlier either. If the pan was to bring Austin on you need some pace around him

I would be totally for cortese coming back. i think him going was the start of the wheels coming off, but the momentum built from his time in charge coupled with koeman doing amazing in the transfer market replacing the outgoings kept us ticking over nicely. i really find it hard to believe that nicola would have bent over everytime and allowed us to become a liverpool feeder club

Can't blame the boys for effort thought tadic was excellent and also long and hojbjerg put in real commitment and effort.hopefully we can keep up the performances of the last games and start to get some results

Tadic having a super game so far looks very good in possession

Lemina for me.. he has made a couple of shaky mistake of late but on his day looks a real class midfielder

McCarthy Cedric. Stephens yoshida Bertrand Romeau lemina Boufal tadic sims Gabbi Even though tempting to go with the legs of long on the break I still think gabbi is our best striker provided he gets the right service

Don't think tadic has been one of our worse culprits of late, at least he looks capable of holding onto the ball in tight spots sometimes turning his man three or four times, but it's more comfortable on the ball then most of our team look who just either run into trouble or take the sideways pass. He did also combine well with long to put him in a dangerous position for one of our rare highlights of the game..

completely cant stand krueger. all he seems to do is talk zero content nonsense

his goal against newcastle was pretty far from put on a plate for him, the guy also has a hammer of a left foot .. if this formation is 3421 he could of also been used as the right sighded attacker allowing him to cut onto his left foot. probably wont be any worse then tadic ?

great ward prouse, redmond and tadic starting over the likes of boufal lemina and gabbiadini.. what is mp doing ?

thought jeremy pied looked good today. his crossing is better then cedrics and he looks an able deputy. its kind of a shame that gabbiadini is getting frozen out of the team think he is one of our best players, dont really want him to be disgruntled and move away. austin has taking his chance well probably suits the way we are playing better and dserves to keep his place, but couldnt gabbi fit in somewhere? he used to play on the right of attack at napoli and could maybe even play the ten role better then tadic.. we know he has a good long shot on him

i think we would be better off moving to a 352. get rid of the non creating tadic and redmond and gives us more in the middle forster yoshida hoedt van dijk cedric lemina romeau bertrand boufal gabbiadini . austin/long

great post

Really do not have a clue when it comes to attacking. best it ever gets is tadic trying to put a flick down the flank so cedric can try to get a cross in. no attempts do do anything through the middle.. bertrand never seemed to overlap or combine with boufal, gabbiadini totally starved of service again..

If pellegrino takes this stance he's inviting pressure on himself. Every time we fail to score and boufal is stuck on the bench the fans faith in mp is going to drain away.

still think gaston was also a talent we didnt make the best of.. more understandable i guess when we had lambert rodriguez and lallana all in fine form... hope pelegrino wakes up now and makes boufal a first team player

Wheres all the boufal is rubbish idiots tonight?? just because a player isnt selected doesnt mean hes not a talent

pretty shocking the ammount of people wanting les reed gone, hasnt he done a great job leading us into europe twice and 4 consecutive top ten finishes?. also the recruitment compared to most other teams has been pretty great with mane van dijk etc..Lastly he is the football man at our club would you really want his successor being chosen by the likes of krueger or the gao family ?

disapointed in pelegrino so far to be honest. we sacked puel for his boring football but so far this guy is worse. i understand he has inherited much of the same squad puel had but it seems he is favouring the grind and graft type players over any spark of creativity. gabbiadini and boufal probably our most exciting players and both are now dropped with boufal not even getting on the bench last time. this guy was a record signing yet we are not even giving him a chance to shine whilst redmond has proved himself already as a headless chicken with no end product and most of the time doesnt even try to take players on or use his pace. the first 11 we have put out the last 2 games have zero flair or shooting ability, maybe we have been spoiled the last few years but we are feeling more like a team that can only grind for results now like a west brom or something.

He has done as much as Redmond really with not even a quarter of the gametime. And at least is a attacking creative option from the bench if we are chasing the game.
