A simple formation change and we could win this. All we have to do is work out how to field a 6-7-4 formation.

On the replay he was in line

Clearly onside, Neville paused in slagging Benteke when he realised it was a crap decision, but then went ahead and slagged CB for going early anyway, that's the kind of annoying commentary/punditry that I hate in football.

Hopefully there's an industrial strength fog machine on the team bus.

Now to get three back for another glorious draw!!! We are good at that, theoretically.

Herd and baker are getting plenty of time on the ball but their distribution has been poor. Moses isn't tracking lichaj back because its a risk worth taking. We've lacked composure when we've had opportunities to break on them. At least today probably makes chelsea and others think that Benteke isn't ready!

Bannan's delivery is absolutely woeful. Why is he even in this team.
