You may as well kick the ball out as give it to Hutton in an attacking position

I have to say the coverage is excellent. Watching it on my TV through YouTube.

Green is so much more dangerous on the right than the left.

Green, Veretout and Barney look okay. All a bit laid back.

Agree on the first the latter suffers the same problem as Hutton, he does all the things that fans like to see but just doesn't offer any threat.

RM and Hourihane have bene poor for me and Taylor looks very limited.

Still can't see what style of play they are actually trying to attempt

Fat Ross has been awful, we seem to have no idea how to play to Hogan's strengths. Hutton and Green looked okay, as did Veretout in patches. We're still far too slow in attack though and our passing is still crap. Still, a point away from home is always a decent result!
