Played pretty well tonight but - possibly not for the first time this season, particularly at home - no real cutting edge. And that my friends is EVER SO SLIGHTLY FRUSTRATING. I cannot believe we have missed 3 penalties in 5 games - all by different players - costing us 6 fecking points. I am firmly in the wouldn't be bothered at all if Claude got the sack camp but that, quite simply, is not his fault.

Shiite is the new pony.

I fear we have Gaston mark 2 on our hands. Ramirez actually had a better first season than Boufal.

Well clarified.

Scored 2 good goals and won so happy days. Shane Long would be such a good player if he wasn't so stunningly awful at the main thing he is on the pitch for.

He just ****in stood there and watched it. Just what you want in a goalkeeper, yes?

Shane Long would struggle to hit a cow's banjo in a brothel.

What a superb goal that was.

Nice ball Clasie, nice ball Long, nice finish Rodríguez.

The wife can't settle mutual face saver remains our best hope.

Ken Dodd's dog's dead.

Losing 75% of our defence (VVD, Cedric, and Bertrand) is surely untenable especially as those 3 are, imo, 3 of our best 5 players. We should only be entertaining losing 1 of them max, and hopefully the long term contracts they all signed give us the balls to say no regardless of who may want them.

Get them to leave a space between the A in "A" and P in "Penalty"

He's done well, looks composed and comfortable and certainly not out of his depth in this league. Still think CB is not his best position and would like to see him tried as a DM next to Oriel.

Poll please mods. Do you wish this poster would stop saying "Pony" yes or no.

4 matches against Liverpool this season and not one goal conceded in, like, 360 minutes or something!!! Must be some kind of record? The conservative defensive approach is fine when it gets us points against good teams away from home. Just not all the time please Claude.

He does run around a lot though.

C'mon Fraser!!! That might be the key to getting his confidence going again.

kiss of death right there

I don't think he is going to cut it. Obviously has skill but tries to do too much, loses it, and puts us on the back foot. Gastonesque injury record to boot. PS - I am not sure what "staging for free kicks" is.

I don't think Boufal is going to cut it.

Acceptably tedious

Harrison Reed

I would certainly hope we are looking for this type of midfielder. We would have been ****ed if Romeu had got injured this season.
