Centre forwards have been doing that for years & getting away with it, it's part & parcel of the game. If you watch Wes actually felt for, and got involved physically with Lukaku first. They analysed it on Goals on Sunday and the consensus was that Wes was naive in his starting position and in engaging Lukaku first. His new to English football, so will learn. Whether it was technically a foul or not is irrelevant to my initial point, which is had Jack Stephens been pushed away like that and we'd conceded , people on here would be giving him pelters.

Silly me. I should have realised, when Yoshida or Jack defended poorly from crosses it was their fault, anyone else it's the allowing of the cross. Maybe you should tell the pundits on sky, because their opinion was Wes got out muscled & bullied. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My post was aimed at the posters who keep making excuses for Boufal, just like they did for Gaston. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, like Boufal, Gaston & Classie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wes' weak defending cost us the goal Saturday. Not saying Stephens would have done any better, but poster after poster would have taken great pleasure pointing that out had it been Stephens. Anything to have a pop at our homegrown youngsters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Corbyn has done a right number on the lemmings that chant Oh Jeremy Corbyn . New type of politics, authentic,it's just pony, & pony that'll hopefully be exposed by the next election. He's shameless about it. When Marr asked him & he kept refusing to answer if he'd join a picket line. Marr said "what happened to the Jeremy Corbin I've known and interviewed for years, who always gave a straight answer", his reply was " I became Labour leader". Just like every other politician who becomes leader, new kind of politics my arse. Their Brexit position will fall apart once there's meaningful votes & they're making eye watering spending commitments. As Andy Burnham said yesterday there's nothing progressive about abolishing tuition fees as it's the high earners will benefit, it'll also cost a fortune . Today's announcements from McDonnell is just them pointing at things people don't like & saying they'll sort them. How is capping debt interest on credit cards going to encourage people to pay them off, if anything it'll encourage more debt. Everybody knows pfi contracts ( most a legacy of labour trying to keep spending off the books) are disgraceful , but where are they getting the billions from to "take them back" & what does it say to investors when the Government reneges on its deals. They claim Parliament , in other words The Party as they'll have a majority if they're implementing it, will decide the value of them. Billions of pounds & the loss of investors confidence will be the outcome. Once people wake up & realise they're bonkers ,they're screwed . I personally think we'll look back on the 2017 election as a tipping point. The moment that The Tories were so bad, that they enabled the hard left to take over the Labour Party. Which in turn ensured a generation of Tory governments. Perversely, by being so bad May could have saved the Tories, because any half decent opponents would inflict a '97 whitewash on this lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JRod having an interesting game. Blatantly brought down for peno but played on & hit post ( ref a joke not bringing it back ) , then a Saints like finish with a fanny header cleared off the line. Smashes it with his head & it's a goal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. He said he wanted Brexit to fail before adding " and I'd rather see the nation fail" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty pointless having a forum if you're just going to leave it to the professionals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nail on head. All the shouting about Long not being a natural scorer won't change this. If we're going to play one striker we have 3 options, a non goal scoring bloke who can hold up the ball and has pace, a slow,injury prone goalscorer who can physically do a job until he's blowing out of his arse at halftime, or a striker with good movement who can score, but needs service, service we're incapable of giving him. Anyone other than Long up front away at Stoke would be madness. Gabbi will be running around not touching the ball & Austin won't be quick enough to get us up the pitch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Long is poor stuck out wide in Redmonds role, he needs to play in a 2 or on his own. It only works on his own if the 3 behind contribute goals, as they don't we're always going to struggle playing one up top. Gabby isn't physical enough yet ( for English game) & Charlie's not mobile enough. I'm not saying Long is perfect far from it, and if we are going to play one up we needed to spend money & get someone decent in, but we look better and he's been the best option this season.

Oh, so it was all a wind up. Course it was..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Michael Owen or Robbie Fowler in their prime wouldn't have looked like putting the ball in the net yesterday. What do you want him to do. Work hard, hassle their back 4, hold the ball up, chase lost causes & win balls he had no right winning , as well as creating his own chances which he then finishes. **** me, he'd be playing for city or Chelsea if he could do that. Stop being a twt and think before you post. He played well yesterday, it's not his fault we didn't manufacture a chance for him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It didn't sound like he said it, he explicitly said it. " I'd rather see the nation fail ", were his exact words Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's a difference between wanting Brexit to fail and wanting the nation to fail. He clearly stated "I'd rather see the nation fail". **** me, how unpatriotic can you get, you'd rather hundreds of thousands of your neighbours & fellow countrymen lose their jobs,houses & futures because of an ideology. I've always felt we'd be better off outside the EU than in, but didn't want us to end up like Greece to prove my point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a load of pony. He unsettled their back 4, won plenty of ball that he had no right to win, held the ball up ok and was lively all game. Couldn't fault his performance as a lone striker yesterday. It's not his fault we can't pick the final pass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One thing for sure, had Stephens defended like that for the goal, he'd have got a lot more clog on here than Wes is getting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, I'm struggling to understand people being happier when we lose , than when we don't Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's no point in playing 2 up front if you're going to be starved of the ball because you're short in midfield. However, to keep the same system and the same players , will produce the same results. Therefore, the manager needs to put a system in place that gets Gabbi or Austin on the pitch, with long. But Long as a striker, not a wide player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Strange. Played a boring 0-0 against Utd last season & got booed of. Lost today and got cheered off. I guess there's more tourists who just want to watch a jolly good game, than people that hate to lose . Also blokes leaving on 87 mins, what's that all about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huffed & puffed but not quite enough quality at the sharp end . No criticism of Long because he was good today, really put himself about & unsettled them all day, but he needs some support. I love Davo, an incredible professional, but you just can't play a non scoring front man with a non scoring 10., especially when the wide men are also non scoring . We have to get 2 up front, to continue to do the same thing over & over again is madness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
