The more I watch us, the less I want to watch us.

I'm pretending I'm watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's been fucking great.

Digne is particularly poor tonight. Doesn't matter if we win this,  no one is fooled.

Surprised Augstinsson isn't out there but he's not on the bench so surely injured, hopefully nothing serious.

Well that was poo.

Very poor indeed. Shocking in fact.

It’s hard to see who’s the lower placed team here.

It makes me furious/jealous when I see other sides with less talent make the game look easier and simply, more enjoyable to watch

When the players were lining up in the tunnel McGinn was just staring at his feet not geeing up his team mates as I believe he should.  It's the first time I've had a good look at McGinn and to be honest I thought he was getting some unnecessary stick.  I was wrong, he wasn't.  Absolutely awful.

Ings looks like he is one step away from a Zimmer frame.
McGinn would not look out of place in that Bolton team
Phil can’t even impose himself on Bolton.

Did I hear booing at the halftime whistle.
Yes Bolton fans disappointed they are not leading.

That was total shit! Can say no more

Not really, I was impressed with Almeida Santos, a very strong centre half. might be worth a punt before Wolves buy him.

Typical match against lower placed team in the cup. Should finish at a canter second half.

49% possession.  Was about to laugh at Leicester only being level at Stockport but looks like they have a weakened side and still have 80% possession

McGinn is fucking dreadful.

Bolton are a horrible cynical bunch.
They are. But surely we were expecting that from a team two divisions below us? It's up to us to outclass them but it's hard to tell the difference between them on the first half showing.

Just look so disjointed and some of them look like they don't know what they are supposed to be doing.  Ings has been out wide and dropping deep, and has given the ball away pretty much every time he has done that.  McGinn is constantly dropping deep in midfield and just isn't good enough on the ball to play there.

This system hasn't worked for some time now, yet he keeps persisting with it.

Fuck Off Gerrard with your formation and Ings and Watkins up front. This is dog shit again, take McGinn with you as well. He couldn't dominate Kilmarnock.
