We really switched off after the goal and the balance of the side looks wrong.  Kodjia aside, we've been very ordinary in the final third. Playing Gestede and McCormack together gives us no real pace up front.

I do agree we might want to bring Amavi on for one of the forwards

I feel a bit sick, which is really pathetic 😟

Get an extra midfielder on and get a foot on the ball, even if it is Gardner, bring Ayew off and put Ross in behind Gestede and JK. 

I'd be inclined to replace Gestede for Gardner.  Ayew offers more variety than Gestede pulling wide etc.

The leaders in the team need to get the rest of the lads organised and pushing 10 yards up the pitch.

Yep we've heard a lot about Elphick, Jedi and McCormack they need to show their leadership quality now.

Let's stop the doom and gloom around here, we are winning, it hasn't been great, RDM and the players will know that, let's hope for a second half like Sunday without the mistakes!

I think we need more in midfield, get a grip of the game. We only need someone like McCormack up front with good supply to him.

Amavi on for McCormack, clearly a knock. Hope it's not serious, but hopefully Amavi will get some good crosses in.

He's injured, hopefully not serious.

So ayew behind gestede still I guess? Could go 442 if he wanted

Amavi cross to gestede - fingers crossed . . .
