Where did they finish? Edit for those who don't know - 16th. Quality.

Nice try. I was talking about Smallbone.

I didn't see anyone showing signs of tiredness tbh.

Only half of them on the pitch at the end and Juric wanted to take another one off. That's the problem. He wanted to sub off all the top performers.

Smallbone was not a top player. He was average at best for a team that finished in the playoffs. We should be aiming for automatic ergo we should be aiming for better.

Maybe use a game where we're 2-0 down to figure it out rather than when we're 1-0 away at Old Trafford on course to record low points.

The irony is Sulemana would have got MOTM until the 2nd and 3rd for Diallo.

Hopefully we never see Smallbone or Armstrong again.

If only we played Armstrong and never created any chances in the first place 😞

He's always been shit, what's he going to learn by giving him a chance? Oh for fuck sake. What a waste of 60 minutes of great work that was.

Yep. Only sub that you could have made a case for was Lallana on for Fernandes to keep possession more. All the rest were atrocious.

Fuck off

Subs weren't really needed. Not like anyone was blowing out of their arse.

Give it a rest, he cost us all momentum and then cost us the equaliser.

Fucking smallbone giving the ball away there, that's all he's done since he's come on and he's fucking cost us. Keep that championship level prick out of the squad.

Bednarek is a liability in these circumstances. No need to be committing so much there, just hold him up and keep yourself between the ball and goal.

Dibling, Sulemana and Aribo off. Our three best players. Insane. Edit; juric changed his mind and left Sulemana on.

Need to keep hold of it more...I know, bring Armstrong on. FFS. Bet he gets 2 touches the whole time he's on.

Only thing I will say is if he can get a clear strike at goal he CAN hit it well.

Gives the ball away immediately.

Smallbone 😐

But it can improve. Keep him in the side, please don't tell me you would rather drop him for someone that can't do anything.

Not a penalty but it probably would be given at the other end, yeah.

Fernandes for Lallana with a remit to just keep the ball moving and try nothing too fancy around 65 sounds good.

Need to take advantage of them pushing forward more by getting balls in behind quicker, advantage of them committing to challenges more by flicking the ball away to draw the foul.
