Terrible from Targett there, but great recovery from Bednarek.

There's loads on reddit

And on top of that, we now find that Arron Banks' firm that was responsible for the biggest single political donation in history to Leave.EU has no address... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-46460194?__twitter_impression=true It's pretty clear now that the mandate to leave is crumbling.

You say that, but he did play one delightful through-ball to Gabbi last night, who unfortunately made a total hash of controlling it. But aside from that, JWP's overall contribution was poor. He's just too lightweight. Watching him and Targett marking Kane and Dier at set pieces was literally like watching men vs boys.

No it won't. He joined in Jan 2017. Shortly before the cup final.

If you think the answer is 4, you are wrong. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=YMUola6pDnkC&pg=PT1217&dq=race+social+construction&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=race%20social%20construction&f=false "A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society.[1] First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, by the 17th century the term race began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits. Modern scholarship regards race as a social construct, that is, a symbolic identity created to establish some cultural meaning. While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race is not an inherent physical or biological quality."

If you had asked me last week when the reports were coming out that we had no plans to sack Hughes, my answer would have been a resounding 'yes'. As it is, I can't possibly say until I have seen how much difference - if any - the new manager can make.

Mate... please, pleeeeeease go and educate yourself.

He knows where the net is and has a decent shot on him, and if you give him a chance in the box he is far more likely to score from it than any of our other profligate lightweights. That much is true. But his ability to find that space for himself in the box is severely hampered by his lack of mobility, which has only got worse since he joined. Add in his inability to hold the ball up and bring others into play, his overall contribution to the team this season has been very poor.

He was the best of a bad bunch tonight, but he is still a long way from being at the level we need if we want to get back to being a top half club.

If I am being ultra-generous to him, I would say that he has shown in the past he needs to have a good run in the side with a regular partner to be anything close to decent. In the back half of 16/17 when we sold Fonte and lost VVD to injury, he and Stephens played together every week and he was a lot better then than he has been this season. Not amazing, granted, but certainly not at the level of muppetry we saw tonight. But if we're serious about reviving our ambitions with the new manager then we desperately need to upgrade him.

Sign at least one competent CB in January. If we can only do one thing to improve our situation, that would be it. Not one of our current CBs would be a regular starter at any other PL club.

You would be p*ssing yourself with rage if Jeremy Corbyn used it though.

He wasn't referring to the result.

Well there are some encouraging signs at least. We kept our heads up and kept going til the end for starters. And we created a few decent chances but didn't have the right personnel on the pitch to finish them off. But really our marking was just so poor, and I'm now starting to realise why Hughes didn't play Yoshida. After having a decent WC I thought he would be a regular fixture in the side, but he has been badly at fault for just about every goal we have conceded recently, and was woeful tonight. Certainly won't have impressed the new manager.

Looked blatantly offside from the replay. About time we got a bit of luck in that respect though.

Yeah he's been the best of a bad bunch tonight. Certainly not made the howlers that Yoshida has, and looks comfortable on the ball. I still think with a decent manager and coaching he could become a decent player.

Great save Lloris, but seriously - how have we not scored there?

F*cks sake Targett. Totally free shot and that's the best you can manage?

Davis bottled it there. Should have taken the shot himself.

Yaaaaaaayyy! All our problems will be solved. Austin is about to come on.

Davis hasn't always been sh*te. He was an integral part of Koeman's team that did so well. But he is past it now, and being played in a position he was never suited to. Other than that, I agree with the rest of your post completely.

Absolutely f*cking pathetic. It's like Tyro league defending.

Comical. Just comical.
