Lopatwiggy has definitely outthought Unai so far

Bailey's body language at times is atrocious. Looks like he gives up when it doesn't go for him.

This shape isn't working, not even a little bit.

A flat three at the back which should allow Matty to get forward, but he just can't. They are taking all of the space in the middle of the park and we've got nothing up front. We need to revert back to four at the back with a double pivot and start to close them down higher up the pitch. This is just pathetic all around.

Not enjoyed this at all so far.

We need to be far less passive.

Passive, no attacking structure, losing 50/50s, ponderous in possession. Really poor.

Bailey has been atrocious, buendia not much better. I'd get ings and donck on

Buendia is such a talented footballer but he's so easily knocked off the ball.

Both of these are on thin ice. Not done nearly enough for our club.

Hook Bailey and Buendia for Ings and Coutinho. We're toothless up front.

It seems pretty clear we need another body in the middle.

Yeah the midfield is all wrong.
