Better than our game with Villa, but absolute dross. Looking around for 3 sides worse than us, not finding many at the moment but at least there are candidates

Really feels like a routine 2-0 defeat this one. Lose the midfield battle, can’t find an out ball, Adams isolated, etc

We’re one ticket short for Palace away in a couple of weeks. If anyone has a spare please drop me a DM

Yep, Ralph out. What a horrible advert for the Premier League

This is absolute dross so far. Making Villa look good, which they’re not

Said on the group chat at half time that ABK and Lavia will be champions league players within 2 years. Both of them absolutely clsss. Great to have Perraud back and looking assured. Didn’t back himself when he came on on Saturday. Adams is a fantastic bully and I don’t really care if he only gets 8-10 per season, he gets us up the pitch and caused all kinds of issues for the opposition.

100%. Arms and Moi ineffective. Get Che on, get it into him to bring others into play

How the f*ck does Moi get in this side ahead of Stu. Slow, reluctant, can’t pass, doesn’t press. I can’t work out if they’re under instruction not to press or just being lazy. Mara not running much either

Would any of us really be shocked if Ralph went with a back 3/5 again against Leicester? I fear he’s too stubborn to admit defeat with it, even if it’s so obvious to everyone that it doesn’t work

Even KWP looks lost in this formation. Nobody knows what their job is. This is absolutely diabolical. I’m firmly Ralph out, he’s lost the plot by persisting with this

Jesus we’re bad at the back. Bailed out by Big Baz. Back 3/5 is horrible and I can’t believe we’re not a back 4 with 2 holding to protect them

I never want Djenepo to play for us again, horrible player. 2 bobbling hospital passes back to CBs already, horrible cross, first touch is dire. I know he’s playing out of position but shouldn’t be on the pitch

Yep. Deserved every bit of that. Gutless. Been on the beach for weeks

We barely deserve a point from this. Dross.

God we’ve been bad today. Decision making in the middle and final 3rd have been awful.

I’m sure I’m not the first to mention it but why the hell have we gone for an experimental lineup against an awful team? When I saw the lineup, I thought Armstrong at 10, maybe it’ll work. But Smallbone?? Bizarre move. We threw away a goal, lost every 50/50 and let them waste time from the off by giving away those goals. Pathetic. Watford are awful but didn’t have to be any good to beat us today. Fear we’re on the beach already

No there’s a small multi storey at Bedford Place which is spitting distance from Brewdog. Or a street level car park opposite The Bedford pub which always seems to have space when I walk by. Grosvenor square would only be a 5 min walk though, if that

First time at Villa park and it wasn’t a great experience. Trains only every 2 hours so it was heaving, and expensive. Decent beers in the city centre then a pretty miserable hour at Villa Park before getting the train home to avoid another 2 hour wait for the train. Rubbish. Was surprised by our performance and Villa’s to be fair. We were far worse than normal and they were far better.

Anyone else on the 10:17 from Southampton Central? The lads I’m going with are getting the train from London so I’ll be on my tod for the journey up. Would be good to meet for train beers on the way up if anyone fancies it

Right then. Diallo and Djenepo off at HT for me. Romeu and Stu on. Think we’ve got away with it to an extent

I get it in certain situations. But we’re nailed on to finish 8-14th. Cup should be the absolute priority

Nooooo what’s he playing at? Absolute car crash. We’ll lose this comfortably

Evening Standard reporting that Chelsea would let Broja (and the other Tino) go in the summer to fund other business. Maybe we need to encourage him to play shit for the rest of the season to keep the cost down

Ralph’s said in the presser it’s a good chance to rotate. Hope he’s bluffing too an extent and the disruption is minimal

Cresswell looked like he took a good knock yesterday, tweaked his groin in a challenge and they haven’t got LB cover really. That’ll be where we can hurt them, getting the full backs up the pitch as much as possible. Antonio looked knackered yesterday as well, they may rest him
