Just square it Bacuna, for fucks sake.

I'm thinking of breaking into Bodymoor Heath and adding a sticker with "YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH" after the PL on Lambert's tracksuit.

Fuck sake Bacuna. That should have been a Benteke goal!

[Rigadon]

Great move.  Unlucky.

[Martyn Smith]

Cardiff look like they've settled for a point. Bacuna instantly looks more effective when getting forward...We look like we've gone 3-5-2...

[PaulWinch again]

Short passing creates it again though, but Bacuna was far too selfish.

Benteke is making no effort to attack half chances. May as well get Holt on for him, KEA for Bennett, go 433.

Cardiff are as brittle as us. We can beat them.

[Matt Collins]

I like the way alby is playing, though this match has been a bit of a microcosm of his career

Start really well, full of pace and enthusiasm, then get found out a bit and start running into blind alleys because there's not enough variety to his game.

Bacuna should have crossed there. Better half though, no question. But Bennett still doing nowt

Defence much better this half.

cardiff are down

This is the point in a game where you need to be able to bring on someone when you're on top to create the scoring opportunity. We only have huffers and puffers.

Cardiff are as brittle as us. We can beat them.

The obvious conclusion to that is we can also lose to them.

[Mazrim]

Gabby will score.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to win this game.
