I agree I just can't see where the goals are going to come from but if you know youre not going to score many you HAVE to then make yourself harder to beat. Try and grind out a few 0-0s or nick a 1-0 from a set piece (THB will score goals as we've seen). Absolutely no chance we can do that under Martin.

Did not rate him as England manager but he'd get us more organised than RM. Not hard mind. Would prefer Moyes.

He scored against Barnsley in the cup too!

Agreed. If we can't beat Leicester then there's no way we can waste the Wolves and Everton games with him in charge.

I honestly fail to see how Adam Lallana can't start two matches in a row when they are 9 days apart and he only plays 60 minutes of them. It certainly won't be his decision, that's for sure.

Doubt it, surely she would've had two up front?

Weren't we? Why should we expect to be less competitive than Luton and Sheffield United were last season? Because at the moment we look worse than both of those sides.

A lot of people probably won't agree but I do. He's a very good manager and will at least make us harder to beat. Isn't a long ball manager either.

Sounds to me that the players have given up with Martin.

You're fortunate you didn't have to watch the first half an hour.

BBD is one of the worst players I've ever seen

Very good post

Two totally different styles but both complete failures in this league.

Are the players playing for him? I wouldn't be surprised if they are fed up with this now, knowing we don't stand a chance with this style of play.

Indeed. We waited too long with Ralph and that didn't help matters. Just got to make sure we make the right appointment this time.

Yeah, cheers Russ but goodbye. Absolutely bizarre set up.

This weird formation isn't working.

With an inevitable loss to Arsenal coming up. Yes. Get Lallana in temporary charge. First game for the new manager Leicester at home.

Shit or bust for RM tonight. 2-0 down with 20 mins left he'll stick all 5 on hoping they will somehow save his job.

Has he? He was more than decent at Lyon, looked very good for Burnley but struggled at West Ham and had a serious injury.

More worried about the lack of CB cover than Cornet playing upfront. The other two strikers we signed seem useless so why not. Shame there's no Lallana but maybe as it's an away game against a quick side he wants the extra protection with Ugochukwu.

Sadly the days of the Koeman era are long gone.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cornet come in for Fraser but other than that I'd keep the team the same. Archer badly needs a goal.

He goes way too OTT. He's always shouting in anticipation whenever a shot comes in, only for it to end up 30 yards wide.

You'll do well to find an affordable keeper who is very good with the ball at his feet and someone who is a very good shot stopper. You're looking at the beat keepers in the world like Allison and Ederson etc. The fact we have one who is a very good shot stopper and is ok with the ball at his feet is the best we can hope for.
