For the second game running our defenders failed to organise quickly enough after substitutions leaving players unmarked. Other than that we probably should have won but wasted chances again. Grealish, McGinn and Luiz all had good games. We are marginally better off than we were before the restart so I still think we have a reasonable chance of avoiding relegation.
Whilst watching the highlights of the game I was distracted by how much Miguel Almiron looks like Dr Sheldon Cooper off of The Big Bang Theory.

If people are thinking Drinkwater coming back is the answer then Christ knows what the question is and we are in a far worst state than even I thought we were.

Neither Trez nor El Ghazi are PL standard players. Imagine the difference some quality wide players could have made to our season. How much influence does Smith have on squad recruitment? That seems to be the million dollar question. I do not think Sawiris had anything to do with it. I doubt it if he even knew that Mahmoud Hassan was a footballer.After analysing all possible reasons for signing him the only plausible explanation is the influence of Mr Sawiris so it must be right. # I think that's called Occam's Razor. (I learnt that on here) Didn’t Elmo recommend him? - which has killed his future scouting career.

Seems to me that Mings, Hause, Konsa and Targett were all culpable for the goal...Here Targett would be better placed behind Carroll even though he is unlikely to win a header. As he is in front, Mings is pulled over to challenge for anything behind Carroll, which forces Hause to cover St.M. Konsa is in position as if Hause were where he would normally be...Konsa then fails to appreciate Hause's position (and Gayle's) and doesn't read the play until it's too late (Mings is now useless, neither pressing or dropping)...

Hi I take it you're a Tooner and it's a very fair post. We should have been leading at HT. Once Grealish got going your were done for but unfortunately he couldn't be bothered till the last quarter and that also coincided with when Maximin faded out of the match. Overall a dreadful match and Bruce still sticking with football that makes your eyes bleed. Good luck with the takeover. We dislike Ashley as much as you do.
