[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think we're actually missing Traore - not just AEG has been shite but because it takes pressure off Jack and Barkley when attacking.

Good point. Traore only really performs for the first 45 minutes. Now would be a good time to bring him on.

Would anyone be kind enough to please message me a link?

Dreadful performance so far

I’d like to see him make some changes rather than just react if we go a goal down
But I don’t think he will

[PaulWinch again]

I wouldn’t be too hard on AEG - first start in ages and yes he’s been poor but he can be loads better. That said for this game I’d have Traore and Sanson on at half time, but I suspect no changes.

[N'ZMAV]

that was a big sloppy bag of wank. We need to keep the ball - something we're lacking without Traore.

It starts up front. Your press works when everybody presses. El Ghazi has got nowhere near Cresswell, he's also given it away more times than I've ever seen a player give it away for us. I am fucking astounded at how bad he was. Get him the fuck off.

Secondly, so much room for them. Lingard has had 20 yards time and time again, its ridiculous. Put some fucking time into them!

Too many passengers, so sloppy. We are very fortunate they've not created anything clear cut, as a better side would have punished us.

Poorest I’ve seen us all season i think. Kick up the backside from Smith at halftime.

[Mister E]

With Rice and Soucek, the Spammers have a strong central midfield, giving them the width that is putting Cash and Targett under pressure. Barkley not doing the work in the middle. And AEG not stretching the WH defence.

[London Villan]

Its not dreadful, but a tight game. They are organised.

[The Edge]

BT saying we shaded the first half? Really?

[Jon Crofts]

Can’t see Dean putting his trust in Sansom for 45 minutes.

[Havencheese]

Lead legged performance.

[richtheholtender]

BT saying we shared the first half? Really?

I actual heard one of them say we edged it!!!! 😳

[algy]

Don't seem to have got going at all. Only really Martinez, Cash & Watkins who are playing well for me.

El Ghazi off, Traore on for me.

[The Edge]

Lead legged performance.

Definitely
