We need to hope we can do enough to sneak past crap teams like Reading until Jack is fit.

I am more dissappointed to see Hourihane starting again.

So another window has closed and still i see the names Hutton,Taylor and Whelan in the starting eleven .Very disappointing .

Still a lot better than Reading though.

Is Hause so poor that he isn't deemed a better option than Neil fucking Taylor? Taylor gives every right winger in the division a confidence boost

my heart sinks a bit when I see Whelan in the team

not just because i see Whelan in the team but because I was hoping this manager was going to be different from all the others we have had





Mine too, mate.

And the fact that Hutton is captain. And Taylor and Hourihane still seem beyond the axe.

He is making a rod for his own back is Smith.

Still, time to find a stream and cheer them on.

Yes, quite why he doesn’t pick Kevin de Bruyne and Christian Eriksson every week is beyond me. The man’s a massive let down

jesus, the guy's been here 3 months and he's supposed to have re-built the team already? I don't know what people were expecting in the transfer window but 6+ new players was perhaps a tad optimistic.

he came with a reputation of swashbuckling no fear attacking football

inside 3 months he's morphed into a combination of Bruce,Lambert and Mcliesh

According to Smith Hause was outstanding in a practice match in midweek .So why is he not playing ?.As the weeks go by i am finding it hard to understand some of his team selections and decisions

It's lacking an attacking midfield option on the bench but other than that, it's OK.

With all due respect, that's nonsense imo.

We signed five. And yet, looking at this team, we only addressed one problem position, maybe two with Kalinic.  No doubt about it for me, this is still a poor side. One or two bits of class but not enough of it yet.

Whelan played well last week. Hourihane can go missing but has still set up two and scored one in his last four starts, so it's not like he contributes nothing.

People seem determined to moan whatever team he picks. Smith isn't to blame for Grealish being injured.
