If we had 11 better players and 1 better manager....we would win this.

I've reserved judgement on Tonev until I'd seen a bit more of him.

I think I'm ready for my decision now and I'm afraid he's another in the nowhere near good enough camp.

£5 he makes no changes at half time!!! We have been garbage for a while now, this is no shock!

Well if he doesn't react to that he truly is a deadman walking. More if the same?  No thanks. Triple change, grow some balls Paul.

Let's just hope and pray we can get to HT at 2-0 and do our 'team of two halves' routine, running out eventual winners or at least getting a draw. Will he make any changes during the break, though?

Benteke is a shell of his former self. He rarely wins headers, struggles to hold up the ball, and often runs into nowhere when he does keep it.

He needs Gabby and Weimann to be on form, playing and supporting him as per last season. Kozak is a trier but does not cut the mustard for me.
He picked up another injury last week too I believe. I mean I think he's finding it harder this season anyway regardless, but I'm not sure he's 100% fit yet. He's lacking a couple of yards he had last season.
But yes, I'd be tempted to bring on Delph, Gabby and/or Weimann at HT.

Dear Paul,

I gave it a go as you asked but it's a waste of time.

Can I leave in January?

Thanks.

Christian
Dear Christian,
I will be leaving before you.

I'd sub all three in midfield if we didnt have only one midfielder on the bench. 4-1-6 anyone?

This is one of those times when you curse the Premier League for only allowing 3 subs.

Lowton on; Gabby on; Delph on.

Not bothered who comes off!

KEA and Westwood is a league 1 central midfield. At best.

I'd go as far as saying half this team aren't Premier League standard.
I'm also regrettfully coming to the conclusion that Sylla is the new Cueller. He's better when he's not playing.

Agree on sylla. I like him. But he's never been better than when he was out of the side at the start of the season apparently.

Sylla has given it away time and time again

I'm not the biggest, or strongest....but I would fight every footballer and win.
