Why on earth do you take your best player off? Absolute madness. Thrown the game away

Far too sensible a line up. Mad Russ won't play anything of the sort. Quite clearly that team should beat 95% of teams at this level and the fact Martin won't pick our strongest 11 is quite frankly baffling. Maybe it's the fluoride in the water sending him doolally.

🤡

Martin has to go. This style of football will not get us promoted

Shocking line up from the off cost us today. I fear that with all the options available, RM won't be able to consistently pick the best team. Quite clearly there are shoe ins each week... KWP, Bednarek, THB (based on previous experience), Charles, Downers, Alcatraz, Fraser, Adams. That spine week in week out should be more than enough to get us out of the division. My biggest concern is at LB it's such an obvious weak spot along with Bazunu in goal.

Very quickly we need some grit and league knowhow. When we came up we were fortunate to have the likes of schneiderlin, lallana, etc... Bit that was supplemented with Fonte, Hammond, Lambert and Connolly amongst others. Quite clearly we have some decent kids, but someone needs to be on the pitch to show them the way.

People really need to curb their expectations of this lad. The step from youth/reserve football is absolutely massive and we shouldn't be placing so much expectation on him. Hopefully he's more Theo Walcott/Gareth Bale in his breakthrough, rather than Matthew Patterson...

Can't wait for these random names to come out the woodwork again. Give me a Lucien Mettomo over a known entity any day of the week.

When we hired Adkins, I had a great feel about the appointment. It just felt right. This one, if we press ahead, doesn't. More than happy to be proven wrong but this feels more like the Puel appointment to me. Will probably be steady, but steady isn't good enough for our current position.

Shows how poor the premier League actually is now. Nothing to do with competitiveness. The teams in the bottom half, just aren't that good!

I'm not quite sure where the club goes from here. What a mess!

I think we have certainly got a couple of things wrong. We were in control of the game until the subs. JWP moving up the pitch has moved him out of the game and the big laf up top should have stayed on. Elyounoussi is still fucking crap.

Thought I'd give this a little bump. Fantastic today and coped very well 80% of the time against a very good Raheem Sterling - not going to be facing that quality every week. Such passion when he clears the ball off the line. We're gonna need that if we are to stay up.

Jones, just fuck off 👍 Did we even have a shot on target after the goal?

I honestly don't see what benefit any new signings will bring if we continue to set up as we do and fail to do the basics, especially when defending. Money being spunked away whilst this Muppet is in charge

Not going to lie, his touch looks absolutely appalling in the hattrick video. Hopefully not a Carillo MK2!!!

We are absolutely diabolical. Such a turgid, slow, aimless and performance. The team is so disjointed. It's ok though, we can bring Adam Armstrong on, the dynamo he is!

How does he play as a wing back in a 5-3-2?

He just isn't a premier League manager. How on earth is he going to get us 30 more points this season?

For those that don't remember exactly the same things when Luke Shaw had his first start. Let's see how he learns and responds to this outing. Ideally he needs to be in a position where he's striving to make the position his own at some point next season and our starting LB for the 2023/24 season if he wants to be a top top player.

Judging by the tattoo's on his neck, the blokes a psycho. Hopefully he has some game to back it up.

That tackle showed a complete ineptitude and awareness of the game at this level. Very poor and made an already difficult situation, impossible.

Reminds me a little bit of Viera. If he's half as good we'll have a top player.

Licka's Missus was arguably the most tidy WAG we've had.
