Predictions for this half?
we will pull it back, more hope than anything else...

[Matt Collins]

Some of the hyperbole about how bad we are every week makes me laugh it really does. We have not played well first half but had 3 really great chances. At the same time the defending for the first is the worst all season, from BOTH Bacuna and Guzan IMO, and the second just is not a penalty any day of the week. The guy has backed into Bacuna to ensure contact, WTF is the lad meant to do, just let him get the ball without contest? Mike Dean is a shoddy ref, and always will be. He will send off Delph second half given the chance. Such a poor ref.

As for the team - Westwood is always looking to be available and pass forward, the issue for him is movement in front of him! Weimann is nowhere, so there is literally only Gabby. KEA does nothing for me. Sylla should hold, with Westwood and Delph in front, Gabby needs to get wider more often and we need an outlet the other.

Oh and we clearly, clearly miss Vlaar

Yep

Tonev hat trick coming up.

[supertom]

We've been losing the game in midfield with 3 CM's, so we take one off and bring on a winger? Strange. Tonev should have come on but not at the expense of CM territory, of which we can't afford to lose any more.
It's about time Tonev unleashed a 20 yard screamer in the top corner.

Westwood with a crap ball there.

[Monty]

In a way, that team with Tonev is now even more counterattacking. The midfield two will have to sit deep and rely on out-balls to the pacy front four - that's conceding the midfield and that is a defence-and-counter tactic.

I'm sensing the dreaded 4-2-4 and hoof tactic.

[Matt Collins]

Looks like Tonev right and Gabby in the hole?

Tempting fate, but I think Clark has been very good in his reading of the game

[JUAN PABLO]

come on Tonev   wheres your shot

[brontebilly]

442 it seems

still the same full backs though

[Irish villain]

Weimann should be benched fir about six games.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

When all is said and done, I think Westwood looks like a lesbian.

@StanPetrov19: Football looks so easy when Berba is on the ball. Just showing young players. No step overs but still look world class. Love to watch him
