This Alysson cant be any worse than Bailey. 
KYoung also potentially offers more.

Ashley Young offers more.

Neil Young would offer more.

Digne for the goal was just inexplicably terrible. Mings too, just watched their guy run at the goal and shoot. It was like when your controller briefly loses connection while you're playing FIFA.

Indeed, I couldn’t quite understand the comments on my stream praising Rayan for the goal. It was more a case of poor defending and it opening right up for him than any trickery on his part.

Really shit. We've lost the midfield fluidity we had and we're too easy to out muscle and over power now. Our forms a big concern.

Looking for some positives: we defended corners and the long throw ins very well. Martinez showing his best form their goal apart. Barkley is probably worth a start.

Negatives: too many to mention.

Decent away point that will look better in a few weeks' time, as Sunderland did. Hopefully it will prompt a similar improvement in results.

Signed, Mings and Martinez all culpable for their goal. Signed should have just dealt with it, but then Mings doesn’t close-off the route to goal, and Martinez is beaten at his near post. We seem to concede a stupid goal in most games.

Yup. We’re understandably going through a lull, our last two away results have been good. The last two home have been rubbish and that’s what we need to correct.

In hindsight, we shouldn't have told him to come back and stay.

Bailey back was panicky shit again in the market. He's so poor. Unless it was part of oiling the Abraham deal.

A good away point against a decent team on form, that seems to have extricated itself from the slump it had been in of late.

As for us, we need to work through our midfield issues. The three players out were central to our structure, our way of playing. We need to rebuild that structure with our new look midfield. You can see that it's going to come (I felt, and we will be very good when it does), but we're not quite there yet.

Had to smile at Leon today - made Sancho look like a club bouncer.

Digne was poor for the goal (though there seemed to be a miscommunication somewhere - was he expecting Buendia to cover inside?) and though the number of crosses into our box might have justified his selection, I wasn't that impressed with Mings.

Martinez man of the match for me, though Rogers looks head and shoulders above everyone in all that he does.
