Perhaps not an obvious one, but when we beat Fulham away in the 2013/14 season with Lallana, Lambert and Rodriguez all on the score sheet. Fantastic performance but also an incredible feeling of optimism around the place with it looking like us having 4 players on the plane to Brazil. Honourable mention for the away win at Anfield in the same season. Remember driving to the game and listening to Micky Quinn completely write us off before hand on Talksport only for us to turn them over via Lovren. It’s been a great ride but can’t help feel a little thankful that it’s over. Anothe year of watching these lot amble aimlessly around the pitch would send me over the edge. Hopefully it’s time for a major reset.

The one question that a journalist needs to put to Selles but they seem afraid to ask and instead pussyfoot around. ‘Adam Armstrong, Moi Elyounoussi, Theo Walcott: combined goals 3, combined assists 3. As it is clearly not goals or creativity, what do these players offer the team that warrants them to be selected week after week at the expense of the likes of Orsic, Edozie, Onuachu or even talented u21’s players who have never been given a chance?’

When an impotent Elyounoussi is apparently undroppable, it’s very easy to see why we’re going down. Can’t think of many worse front threes than Armstrong Walcott and Moi. Criminal with the money we’ve spent recently.

All this talk of systems etc. but is it not just common sense to play your better, more threatening players rather than trying to be too clever? How can we afford to not play Alcaraz and Sulemana in games we need to win? Awful team selection.

I know I shouldnt be, but can’t help but feel a little disappointed. Very positive on the whole but it is a bit deflating seeing our options off the bench. There was no one there today who ever seemed like influencing the game. Would much rather have Edozie coming off than A. Armstrong and Mara but it’s where we are as a squad. Shame as I thought the first XI were superb. Alcaraz has to play when fit - he’s quality.

Armstrong is pathetic

Adam Armstrong and Mara incoming... Let’s hope we don’t need a second

At what point do we give one of the young lads a shot up top rather than continually turning to the players who have time and time again shown that they are not good enough. What have we got to lose?

Loads on Twitter if you search.

Has anyone actually managed to find a working stream yet? Every one I’ve tried has been a dud.

A better (yet equally ridiculous analogy) Mother buys a family dog which is completely unsuitable for children. Said dog barks and snaps at her children. Mother ignores all warning signs. Dog inevitably does serious harm to her child. Mother acts surprised.

Hard for him though (and likewise Orsic when he has played) when all of our build up play completely bypasses the midfield and purely relies on big hoofs up top.

Is this like when people wanted us to wave white hankies when Pochettino was appointed? FFS guys, he’s about to be our manager whether we like it or not. No one knows how he is going to fare so let’s get behind him ey? Last thing we need is any more negativity.

Thought Adams was superb in his role tonight. And what more can be said about ABK and Lavia? Let’s enjoy them whilst they’re here because they are going to the very top!

Not really related to us but just seen that Arkadiusz Milik is signing for Juve on loan with an £8m option to buy. Seems fantastic value when you consider the prices being quoted for some players with much less experience. I’d take a player like that in a heart beat.
