awful draw. Our season really could be in pieces by the end of the month. We need some inspiration from somewhere, and maybe some goals too Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

We are where we are now, all that is irrelevant. Les Reed has stated the club is aiming for the Champions League. So when we start performing poorly and selling players constantly then I feel we have the right to question the true ambition of the club. We have done well in recent seasons, but I would rather the club admitted we are only trying to be sustainable whilst being a feeder club for the big boys. Because that's all we are doing. Champions League and even Europa League will never happen in the near future with our business model Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Yes. The lack of striking options is a massive issue. We are not scoring and this has had a big effect on the confidence throughout the team. Quite simply, VVD, Romeu and Bertrand aside, we have a bang average squad. Changes need to be made to start again next season. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Awful. Les Reed is to blame as much as Puel. What a great few years it has been but the wheels have well and truly fallen off. Not sure where we go from here. Puel needs to go, but if Reed is still here and we don't spend then very little will change. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

We simply don't have the quality to rotate so much. The likes of Yoshida and Martina are not good enough; you can't just bring them into the team and expect it to work. It looks like we will be safe, but it's going to be a tiresome season for us. Puel has to go, it's just not working. Rowett would be a great fit, getting the best out of an average squad, which is all he would ever have here. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Puel has to go. We are such a poor side now. Season over. Time to start building for next season. Hopefully Les can get this faulty black box fixed as a priority. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

interested to see Boufal and Tadic both playing. Claude's rotation policy is ridiculous though. I'm sure he picks Forster, VVD then 9 names out of a hat. bit of a risky strategy. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

he is not good enough. Good dead ball delivery but **** all else. I'm amazed he is still hanging around; he's had 4 seasons now and done very little. 4 goals i think, 2 of those in 1 game and only one from open play. Shocking. I don't buy the 'he's young, give him time' bull****. He's had his time, and we will never progress if we persist with players of his quality. He seems a good lad, but he is Championship quality at best sadly. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

decent line up with the exception of JWP. Bit of a nothing game but fancy us to nick this 1-0 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

He's been the best CB in the league this season and most people have picked up on it. I predicted this would happen last season and a lot of people laughed. I think he will stay until the end of the season. If he goes to anyone, it makes most sense for Man City to sign him. it's a position they've really struggled to sort. Plua they might actually shell out some serious cash to get him. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

let's be honest, he'd walk straight into this team alongside Romeu as one of our best players. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded or bitter that he left. Can't see it happening though, it wouls essentially be an admission of failure on his part. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Thats how you finish Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Puel just picks names out a ****ing hat Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Awful line up. Very poor from Puel. Will take advantage of the price on Bournemouth. Disgraceful Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Great work by Puel to improve the defence. Only one goal conceded now in three games. Really impressive stuff. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Decent enough line up. Should be good enough for a 1-1 draw, with Long finally getting on the scoresheet. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

They do seem overpriced at 2/1, thought they would be favourites being at home. Especially as it may be a cold wednesday night in Stoke Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Didn't watch today but doesn't sound great. Boufal seems to have a bit of match winning quality, but we are so thin on the ground now for strikers. Still, we only had 21 points after 17 games last season, so 1 from the next two games and we will be at the same level. Two tough games now, it seems everyone on here thinks Stoke and Bournemouth are better teams than us, so I guess we have no chance against either. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Klopp has said Sturridge won't be leaving in January. We were very close to signing Haller in August but pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute. Expect to see us go back for him. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I think VVD is off in January now. You saw how much it meant to him, but too many others didn't care. I appreciate how far we have come in the last few years. Massive respect for everything Les Reed has done for the club, but the whole project sadly reached its peak, and it is only downhill from here. I think last night signalled the beginning of the end for us. The most sickening thing is the 'we need to bounce back on sunay' bull****. Sunday is ****ing irrelevant. Boro can beat us 6-0 and it wont change much. We needed a result LAST NIGHT. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Awful. The end of the road. Season over far too early. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Think we will get the 0-0, but in all honesty this team is not good enough to progress further in Europe, whoever we draw. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Nervous for tonight. We should be winning this comfortably but then you could say that for a few games this season. Got the insurance bet on for tonight. 9/5 on either the draw or a Hapoel win. A 0-0 draw would make it a nice win-win situation Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

It's going to be such an up and down season with the meltdowns on here. I said at the start of the season, with the europa to play in, that the **** results against the likes of Hull and Palace were going to be far more regular Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The lack of goals is still a worry. An off day for a usually solid defence. A lot on here were praising the attack against Everton but we still went 90 mins without a goal in that game. Anyway, today is a write off. Bring on thursday Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
