Thought he actually played quite well in the first half, then when he got switched to the right he made a few mistakes and you could see the confidence drain from him and it just got worse and worse. Probably needs taken out of the firing line for a bit.

Yeah, he's quick but not electric, a bit lightweight and his touch is a bit clumsy. If we could get the ball to him quicker and in a bit more space I think he'd be very effective, but with a slower build up and opponents sitting in he's operating in tighter spaces and it just doesn't seem to...

He is starting to look like a mistake, looks to me like a good player in the wrong team. Put him in the Newcastle side and he'd look much more impressive. Plenty of time to turn it around and that, but I'm not really confident.

We'll beat them by at least 2. Our first team is actually very good. Newcastle game wasn't that bad, could have gone either way, just looks bad now in combination with last night. Pretty certain we'll be back on form with a very comfortable win.

Of all our underperformers from last night, I think he's the one with the most leeway. Just in the door and its been stop start for him. He's essentially making two steps up in quality and expectations, with a bit of time hopefully he'll get there. Got a very big job on to get in the team though.

No normally that reactionary, but the first half was absolutely pathetic from players who are supposed to be fighting for their place in the team. Improved a bit once the main guys came on, but honestly, except from Khusanov, Stones and Nico the entire team of the first half could leave...

When we actually properly press them and compete for the ball, we force them into mistakes and get some decent positions. Unfortunately most of the time we're just jogging around and standing off them. 100% there for the taking if we actually go for them.

B team showing why they're the B team so far. Thought there'd be a bit of intensity at least.

Well, this is interesting. I imagine we're going to miss all our early chances, concede from their first shot, then get counter-attacked to oblivion.

I am convinced he has the potential to be a first choice player for us, but it's true that he has to start showing it soon. Is hard, coming off a big injury and trying to impress on occasional starts and sub appearances, but it's the nature of top level football. We can't give him an entire...

Penalty given in this game for much less contact, after the ball had gone.

Even taking into account the shite decisions, I think we still win this game 7 times out of 10. Lost our way in the 2nd half but should have been well ahead by then.

It worries me when I'm confident but I'm confident. I don't see anything in Newcastle to really trouble us if hit anywhere near our top level, which we should given the form most of our players are in.

Have a terrible feeling Denmark are going to give us an absolute doing.

I'd bring Savinho in for Cherki, I reckon the pace of the game might be a bit much for Cherki. Hall will probably be the left back, he's just back injury, get Sav running at him. Doku against Trippier could be a disaster for them.
