There really are some serious bedwetters on here.

 

[Marvin.]

And yet despite giving 100% he was absolutely awful.

He beat his man a few times and came close to scoring. He was a 3/10 like most players and yet for some reason a lot of fans are singling him out. When you're angry, it's really easy to pick on a player and that's what many did, and it made it worse not better.

We didn't lose the game because Savinho was playing, we lost because Pep for some incomprehensible reason switched the first team and the subs. bench. He is to blame. Fortunately, whilst he has been here, he has been brilliant for us, and I am sure he will continue to be so. He just has this in his nature. None of us are perfect.

He gave 100% last night which no other player did. Who plays in front of him marmoush bobb? I'm also not gonna jump on the bandwagon of just blaming 1 player after every bad result.

He gave 100%? With respect, what the f**k were you watching? Watch their second goal again last night. Look who crossed it and which lazy fucker was NOT closing him down or making any attempt to even get close to him. Nico was defiantly having words with him about that just after the goal. Unsurprisingly Savinho was arguing back. He also ambled back, sulking, on at least 4 occasions when he lost good possession as well. Not trying to have a go at a fellow blue who usually posts good stuff, but that’s the worst take on Savinho I’ve ever read.

Did he balls give 100%. Watch their second goal back. It's his man who puts the cross in for Shick but he just stands five yards off him and lets the cross come in. Lost count of how many times he gave it away and stood still flapping his arms about. His slip was barely even a proper slip, it was like he decided to have a lie down mid-motion.

We must be watching different games. 1/10 would be generous.

I’m not saying we lost because of him. That’s silly. But he is consistently worst on ground and yet he keeps getting substantial minutes.

Our lack of wingers are a clear issue.

 

[citytill1die84]

Donnarumma

Nunes Stones Gvardiol O'Reily

Foden Gonzalez Cherki

Marmoush Haaland Doku

Let's get our fucking mad up and absolutely obliterate the tw@s

 

[The Black Shed]

Pump Leeds and we'll get some smiles back around the place, including here!

 

[phargrave]

Nope, just realists..

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

The same team as Newcastle and we'll bounce back. 4-0, with a Haaland hat trick.

 

[Raimond]

The same team as Newcastle and we'll bounce back. 4-0, with a Haaland hat trick.

Nah mate but he does get 2 in a 5-2 win

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Nah mate but he does get 2 in a 5-2 win

They won't score 2, and if we get 5 he's scoring 3 minimum.

 

[Goater101]

Donnarumma; Nunes Dias Gvardiol Ait-Nouri; Nico G Foden Reijnders; Cherki Haaland Doku.

We still need to give others game time because they will need to be called upon over the next few months with the amount of games. Just don’t make 10 changes at once.

 

[urban genie]

With ait-nueri. back. rather than berny being suport for Nico G why not utilise Nico. O in a central midfield role

Ait Nouri did nothing on Tuesday to justify a start. Suspect NOR will stay at Lb with Bernardo back in midfield

 

[Withnail]

Nunes is improved but we have to get rid at the first oportunity.

Mid table player at best.

Nunes is the least of our problems, sorting out the midfield and buying a quality rw should be our priorities.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

I'm genuinely shocked people want Aït Nouri in instead of O'Reilly. O'Reilly has been brilliant this season, if it wasn't for Haaland he'd arguably be up there for POTS

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Yep - don't see a reason for anyone from last night forcing their way in

 

[sh249]

Probably go with:

————Donnarumma———
Nunes-Dias-Gvardiol-O‘Reilly
———Bernardo-Nico———
—-Cherki-Foden-Doku—
—————Haaland————

Poor at Newcastle, but the set-up that was working prior to that match.

Otherwise, maybe throw O‘Reilly into the midfield:

——-——-Donnarumma————
Nunes—Stones—Dias—Gvardiol
———————-Nico——————
———Bernardo—-O‘Reilly——-
—-Foden—Haaland—Doku—-

Could be Ait-Nouri at left back, perhaps he needs a chance to get up to speed. But he‘s just been so wank so far.

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Leverkusen was a self inflicted fuck up. I understand the need for rotation but rotating ten players against a team as good as that was nuts. We need to regain momentum and Leeds at the Ethiad is a great opportunity. They’re not terrible and they counter fast down the wings, but they have a leaky defense. Think Erling will get his ton. Cmon you fecking blues.
