Hes a ‘good lad’ in training though.

Barney instead of Whelan and we win.

[Edvard Remberg]

"We" decide from day one that players aren't good enough and attack them. Nyland, Birkir, Amavi, veretout etc. They do read social media! They will get hurt,  no matter what they earn.  We should fucking stop this

I can see what Whelans does even if it is slow, I have no idea what Hourihane does other than the odd goal.
Playing the 2 of them is the problem.

Oh and no one is going to convince me that Whelan is the answer to Jack’s absence.

Exactly. Without Grealish we are struggling as even when he is below par he occupies at least two players. Where has the away form from Derby and Middlesbrough's gone to?!

I was right behind the misses by McGinn and Bjarnason and they were sitters, but we didn't deserve any better than a draw.

We are susceptible to diagonal balls and today it was route one that we struggled with.

I don't get Kodjia being left out behind  Bolasie and El Ghazi and Nyland made one brilliant save but nearly cost us twice yet again.

[Legion]

I am a big fan of Thor and think Nyland is a liability.

So is Micah.

If they spent more time training instead of reading H&V they probably wouldn't be so shit.

This is professional football and the players mentioned have / are not good enough

Some miss by BB at the end.

McGinn was abysmal for their goal. Ball watching for a simple give and go pass. He is a liability without the ball too.

This justifies giving them shit

[CT]

Reading that some of our lot were booing at the end.

I'd like to think that isn't true!

I disagree strongly,I think that he normally is an excellent tackler.If we don't win,we tend to criticise too many of our players.Much was made of Preston's injury problems but we were missing again defenders and midfielders and we have come another point closer to the top 2.
