Baird of the land

Still makes no sense imo given Morgan's likely summer departure. Hoping koeman's words on new contract come to fruition.

like to see targett given another run out. Think we should play a largely strong line-up though.

Very nice to get revenge for the 1-0 loss at their place. When i saw their midfield i was hopeful but by the sounds of it, it was their defence that handed the game to us. Other results went well for us too. Nice cushion to teams below. Really hoping we can keep this going.

Personally think we should put out largely first 11 for fa cup.

Yeah personally I recall him cleverly winning a free kick and a throw late on.

Can't say I agree regarding ref, thought he gave decent account of himself. Didn't give them a penalty too, which made me happy considering fabregas making zero attempt to stay on his feet.

Don't particularly want to see him start at right back again. Ideally McCarthy will come through like targett on the other side to give us cover at right back.

Right back is certainly an issue. Toby didn't look particularly comfortable and neither did yoshida. I'd be tempted to blood McCarthy there but haven't seen enough of him to know if he's ready. morgans replacement seems a toss up between reed who would give tenacious tackling and jwp who add set piece threat.

Fantastic result. Nice to see us getting something from the big boys. Morgan's a loss though.

Great result. Really hoping we step up and take something from the Chelsea game

Very nice to feel that winning feeling again. Very happy reed impressed on debut but frustrated as he should have been involved in previous games.

Thank goodness. Still don't get why he hasn't been used even as sub yet but this makes me marginally more hopeful that we are at least going to put round pegs in round holes.

Yikes with all those players out it could be an interesting line-up. Below is the best i could fashion. Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Aderweireld Reed JWP Isgrove Mane Long

To me that would be nuts, just not play any midfield & hope Everton don't rip us to shreds through the middle.

If Davis is out reed has to start. Personally I'd start him anyway leaving Toby to play at centre back.

No cork, Morgan or wanyama. No doubt reed will spend another 90 minutes sitting on the bench unused. Can't say I'm optimistic.

Hoping Reed finally gets a chance.

Another disappointing display. Annoying that we haven't got a trustworthy penalty taker anymore, what a difference it would have made to get our heads in front when presented with a golden opportunity.

Agree the one against Arsenal was poor.

Grrr missed penalty.How we miss having a good penalty taker like Lambert and Le Tiss.

Glad to see Koeman is so unhappy at losing to such a mediocre team.

We've lost to Spurs, liverpool, city, Utd, arsenal. Just Chelsea to complete the full sweep. We capitulated to an abysmal man Utd team tonight, that was atrocious. Can gaal is laughing all the way back to Manchester.

Why play vastly underperforming mane and risk getting caught out in midfield. Go back to the solid 3 in midfield approach that got us points.

Agree completely. Should be asking for a loan move if the manager has zero faith in him.

Sorry second half it was completely obvious we were being caught out regularly.
