Could Ireland play that position second half?

No thanks 

[Colhint]

[Matt Collins]

And we're off . . I forecast a 3-1 Swansea win

[Toronto Villa]

To us scoring again?

Unable to perform even the basics in so mant departments. After three terrible performances I can accept lack of confidence, but the frightening widening gulf in quality now being shown is also down to lack of professional application and dare I say poor preparation. 
I predicted a loss today and we may avoid that now (even fluke a win here !) but if the level of performance in the second half is anything like that first awful 45 minutes it shows we have become rotten to the core.

Baker and Vlaar are comfortably better centre backs than Clark, but he is a good midfielder IMO.

[Archie]

I think Clark could be much better as holding midfielder. We need to buy one CB and at least two midfielders because   the only premier league standard midfielder that we have is (or could be in the future) Westwood.

Agreed - Ireland can play somewhere else. He can fupp right off

[PeterWithesShin]

Another escape.

Ken McNaught saying Benteke is lazy, assist aside. Too much time spent with Ireland?

[TonyD]

Just got in.  How have we played 1st half?

[Mister E]

Defence got carved open then (again).

[Rigadon]

Clark asleep again.

Agreed on both points there, I'd say Vlaar and Baker will end up the first choice pairing for us. Benteke and Weimann look plenty decent up front, too. The rest of the team though.......

Fucking hell Bennett, track the runner.
