Please please Koeman sort yourself out. Pelle should be at Villa or some other very poor Championship team !

Why does Pelle continue to play Pelle who is obviously utter ****e - just WHY!

Brilliant !

Here we go, he used to play for us therefore we should sign him.... He has scored one goal this season and looks anonymous when on the pitch as does Walcot. So not as convinced as many on here... Might be ok, might not...

Yes the irony was surreal ....

We are arguably just as strong or stronger without Morgan..... We probably made home look decent here but he does have some quite weak areas and is not world class. Move on....

Mane for Long!!!!!!!!! Lol what evidence do you bring to the table to back up that illogical opinion?

Oil If you had read my post you will have seen I specifically mentioned the defence as a separate item giving evidence of my point.

The Happy Clappys are gloating but whilst we were largely in control we were playing a pretty poor Swansea side and without Long we probably wouldn't have scored. Pelle is obviously damaging our fluidity and he keeps the pressure on our defence by being marked all the time and not showing for a penetrative pass. He often loses possession when the ball does come to him because he with miss controls or fancy 'flicks' it to a opposing defender. We will make it easy for Chelsea if he plays. So yes it's a good run but our overall play is not all that going forward. RK also seems to randomly change the team around which is also not doing us any favours. We have some decent players don't forget and our defenders are errrrr not being changed in terms of personnel which kind of proves a point about a settled team being preferable.... Also look at Leicester for an example of This...

Pelle off now - let's take the game to them and start to control the ball...

Come on Koeman get Davis central, Pelle OFF, Mane on or Austin on .... Far too much tinkering Koeman apart from the Pelle mystery selection....

DM says we are lacking movement up front!!! Long is making runs Pelle non existent with odd fancy flick to no one.... No change there.... DM we are better with Mane and Long ! Come on Koeman, what is it with you and Pelle???

Consistently on the money posts Batman

Can't understand why RK talks about healthy competition for places and continues to pick a guy who is blatantly pretty poor and has been most of the season. Also he messes up our rythem of play. He reminds me of a Subbuteo centre forward except not quite as mobile!

Agree totally.... Not sure why we would even dream of playing him... What is that all about....

Stones is really not that good ... Lots of media hype but not that much substance...

Our most prestigious signing ever and what a player....imagine him in this team.... Compare him to a errrrr Pelle - omg Pelle wouldn't have played for anyone in the old first division - not a chance...... Channon and Pelle ? It would be an insult to think about comparing them !!!!! Which just brings home how carp Pelle is. Keegan was REAL class and Lawrie was the sole reason we got him.... Two legends along with a few others in that era...

How on Earth can RK justify Pelle starting in this game! We were poor when he was last in the team prior to his injury, we have been excellent while he was out and poor again in terms of play last week when Pelle started and contributed the sum total of zero! Why would you include him this weekend - defies logic....

Classic ! :-)

No way that all three forwards should play at once. We were over run in midfield Saturday. The gives us no balance and no control of the ball. Admitedly Pelle is useless but even so my call is two only up top and not one of those 'in behind ' Davis a as forward midfielder yes....

Pelle has had a bucket full of playing time this season and been poor throughout or at least apart from the first three weeks of the season. We have proved we are better without him now.

A very courageous performance today. You have to say momentous defending. However even before the sending off we were just not well coordinated. It was a very disjointed performance and the team selection really was the cause. Three up front (make that two because Pelle is a total passenger just leaves us with light in midfield with no link between defensive midfield and attack.... Koeman has a terrible habit of tinkering and repeating previous mistakes or learning from team selections that work. I know Taggart was injured but there was no need to play Pelle at all and it could and should have cost us. The worrying thing is that the result will mask the poor performance... By saying that I am not disputing the effort put in, just that the team did not function.....

Pathetic red card decision but our substitution is more pathetic. What is Koeman doing ????? Rediculous decision... I hope Pelle is sold terrible lazy player..

Christ Koeman we are far too short in midfield... Do something about it before it's too late....
