No width. No creativity. A front 3 who consistently show they cant play together.

Same old, same old

Vacant, glazed look on Lambert's face.

Why the fuck would Benteke want to stay another season playing with this lot...he'll be off in the summer with the other 2

[pauliewalnuts]

FFS, totally unable to keep the ball beyond a couple of passes.

We are so brainless.

I'm so used to seeing coloured boots that when someone wears black ones it looks like they've got shoes on.

Lambert looks like he's about to cry.

He's got that look of the school punchbag that's just been told to go and tell the school bully "your mom smells"

[The Left Side]

Our players just don't look fit enough.

Vacant, glazed look on Lambert's face.

No change there then.

Alright back to work for me. Good luck everyone. Hope we sort this out.

wheres robinson. I thought we had him back from preston

[Legion]

Are we down to the bare bones yet?

[supertom]

Cleverley rarely wastes the ball. We need to push him up, get him closer to the forwards. There's a good player there, but he's being kept so deep, or too wide for us.
He has an 88% pass completion rate (36th best in the league, and best in our team comfortably). He can pick a pass and has a bit of vision. Why don't we push him up to where Cole would be playing? But of course that's too logical for Lambert.

[PeterWithesShin]

The only positive so far is it's still 0-0.
