Carruthers should replace Albrighton, as Albrighton is fucking terrible.

Was so pleased when we scored - I kissed the dog!

Her breath stinks but it was worth it!

That's a bad way to talk about your wife! ;)

With the return of the back four, two wide players in the midfield and Benteke and Weimann upfront is much better.

I throught Stevens made a good tackle myself.

I'd be considering replacing Albrighton he just does not have the pace to play wide can never beat his man these days.

He hasn't lost the ball yet and has won a few corners but needs to improve I agree, Delph off is the priority!

Yet again Clark gets drawn out, leaves a gap, and they score.He has been responsible for giving 3 goals away in the last 2 games.


I think Clark is over rated and always have done.  He was largely getting away with it while up alongside Vlaar but has been found out badly since.  It's not just him, of course, but he ball watches, gets dragged out of position far too easily and doesn't have the pace to recover.

Apparently a Swansea fan just won £10K at half-time. Pisses over our Zorbs.

I've always thought he looks better in midfield. He scares me in defence, I have far more confidence in Baker.

Not seeing the game but sounds like albrighton is as crap as ever. Could Ireland play that position second half? Maybe go 4231 and put weimann right?

I do struggle to see how this crop of players can really go 442 against players who are better, stronger and more streetwise than them?

If we play like we did i the first half, we will lose comfortably.  We can only hope that well taken goal will give them a bit of belief.   Here we go...
