Edmonton Saint

This is why you have to take your ****ing chances in football. Wasteful.

Our final ball is terrible.

A chain of events which leads back to Koemans decision to replace Schneiderlin with Yoshida against Man City. Moving Alderwierld out of the back was a mistake,and since then the defence which had been rock solid has been anything but. Some would argue that it was moving Toby into midfield and the extra running and fitness that it carries, which caused him to suffer muscle fatigue at the end of the Arsenal match. Rule 1, should always be don't mess with the back four. And seeming we have lost every game, could Harrison Reed have really have done much worse?

Arse. Gifting it to them.

After expecting the worst in the last two games, I am unusually confident today. Predicting a win and happier times. We march on...

Waste of a squad space. Would rather see Seager or McQueen or some other young striker on the bench. He has done the sum part of zero in his Saints career.

Nail on head.

Exactly.

Don't know why he brought Mayuka on. Waste of a substitution as the bloke is total cack.

I hate football.

This referee is disgusting.

This.

Brilliant play by Yoshida there...

When is ever going to be a suitable game for Reed to play? As I said on Sunday, you shouldn't mess with the back four. Unbelievable.

Great Yoshida coming on. Learn the bloody lessons from Sunday Koeman.

What a chance missed by Pelle again.

We could certainly do with him and Osvaldo on the bench at the moment. We have nothing on the bench at the mo in terms of gamechangers, Foolish decision to let petty squabbles get in the way of business.

And Reed is 19 nearly 20. So when is it going to be ideal? Koeman doesn't seem to trust the youngsters. Reed wouldn't have been out of place today, and lets face it, he couldn't have played any worse than most of the team did today.

Why is it too much of a gamble? I don't understand why we have a midfielder on the bench, and then when a midfielder gets injured, we don't use the midfielder. I like Reed and think he would have done alright out there. At least he shows a bit of passion and willingness, unlike many of the other pretenders in red and white today.

Exactly what I said in the match thread. We could have left our defence as it was, and brought on Reed to replace Schneiderlin a like for like midfield replacement. If Koeman isn't going to pick Reed, then its pointless putting him on the bench. We were undone today because our passing was terrible. I lost count of the times we gifted City the ball due to poor choices, and poor movement. We showed them far too much respect, and from the kick off it was clear we never had the belief that we were going to win. Very disappointing.

Reed or Gardos ? Reed is a natural midfielder is he not? and Gardos can play there as we were told when he signed. Not rocket science. Replace like for like.

Playing 9 men now. We will still find a way to concede a fourth..

This is embarrassing. This is why Koeman shouldn't have changed the back four at half time. Joke.

Looked out of our depth this afternoon. No bottle, no belief. And now Mayuka coming on. Just sums it up.

This is ****ing ****e. Given away again.
