54th game of the season today. 8 first team players out.

That's why I can't really bring myself to be frustrated with how poor we have been.

Olsen is keeping us in this. We are a million miles off it, terrible from all the other players.

Well done Olsen so far.

As for the rest.

With this formation we need Torres feeding Digne they aren't same wavelength

Sorting out unai. Can't have Bailey and Diaby on together too lightweight. We need some bite in midfield

I think we just have to hope that Spurs don’t win another match.

It may be worth bringing Tim on for a forward and putting McGinn in the 10 and we have no linkup between midfield and forwards.

I don't want to be too harsh because we do have a stupid number of injuries and I know the lads are tired.

But fuck me that was a shockingly bad first half display.

One of the worst halves this season.  Wake up FFS.   Losing all the 50/50s and look like we’re petrified.

Unai's going to have to weave his magic at half time.

We haven't got much on the bench going forward - Agent Chaos and Omari Kellyman.

None of our players can pass, it’s terrible stuff. If Brighton score they’re winning this, because we don’t even look like we can muster a shot let alone a goal.

Absolute garbage. We look like a team wanting the season to end. Twice the effort required in the 2nd half as very little evidence of any in the first.

First goal definitely wins this one.
