Can Kenzie get her norks out please.

Said it before and i'll say it again, no point whatsoever playing Gabbiadini in this system. If you're not putting him through on goal or giving him the ball in the box facing goal, he gives nothing to the team. Austin should have started tonight - much better link up play, holds it up, can win it in the air and can finish.

No point in playing cross after cross with the players we have on the pitch ffs. We got through just then playing quick passes through the centre of the pitch - keep that up!

Gabbiadini. If ward prowse is on the pitch he should take them, why the **** we **** about with namby pamby dinks, stuttered run ups and rolling it along the floor when we have someone who has proven he can hit the corners with pace I do not know.

F*ck off with the f*cking stupid stuttering run up and f*cking put it in the net you f*cking c*nt

****ing ****, why the **** do we **** about with penalties so much, give it to ward prowse who actually has a good record you useless ****ing ****s

I refuse to believe we were EVER odds on favourites to win the Europa League, especially not after only one game.

Long is far better in the air than any of our other strikers except perhaps Austin,

Longs best form for us was playing in a pair up top when we went 3 at the back last season. He was never as effective out wide.

Where is that from? Just did a word search of the Labour manifesto and the only time Birmingham is mentioned is in relation to HS2?

Yeah start of the season we were playing some great one touch passing football through the centre of the pitch and creating numerous chances we couldn't take. After Van Dijks injury and Stephens' nervous start, we reverted to two DM to help him out - however with him looking more competent now maybe we should try to revert to our original style of play.

I don't think any manager would have done anything else other than take us backwards after finishing 6th.

When we're performing as we have been the last few games we're much better off starting Long or Austin up front. In 5 minutes after coming on Long had already won 3 long balls with his head and held it up for other players. Personally i'd like to see them both up top, Gabby with one of Long or Austin.

We've brought everyone back to defend corners since Adkins days, don't start laying that at Puels door. "Defend as a team".

He may have had no chance but that was absolutely pathetic from Forster, didn't even try.

A loss at home to a side challenging to the top four? Mmkay. Knew Giroud would score.

Still waiting for Gabby sub time.

Boufal having a good game...other than that shot [emoji23]

Looks like a change in formation to me to more of a 4-3-3, Tadic playing behind Boufal left wing, Long right wing and Gabbi in the middle.

What happened to Gabby sub time? You seemed so adamant.

Pruttons being generous to Forster there, should have caught that.

Romeus been poor this second half, wtf has happened there.

Yoshida has been fantastic all game and you only mention him now. Hmm.

Both centrebacks guilty of overcommitting there.

Great interplay between tadic and redmond there.
