Grealish looks like he doesn’t know what to do when he gets into space in the box far too much.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Nah. He's just been found out. He's nowhere near good enough to be around our squad.

This is his first start for us….maybe give him a chance ;-) I’m

Can someone explain why it was a good idea for walker to play centre back.

This whole hyrbid 3 at the back needs throwing in the bin.

I was concerned with this game before with its closeness to the Derby and United having an easier fixture with a longer rest until the game. Clearly Pep was worried about this and it has resulted quite frankly in a disastrous start to this game. Southampton are at home and are clearly up for this game and fair dos to them. Now Pep has a big problem, does he persist with this lineup and thus quite likely go out of the tournament? Or does he bring on the big guns to chase the game and risk impacting our performance on Saturday?

What convinces you were going to show a good performance Saturday either way?

I cannot be bothered with our Backline today nor the midfield

 

[Blu1]

Not one of our players get over a 3/10 so far

 

[nmc]

Don’t get me started on him. He is a world class myth

Up there with Phillips

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

The fact that you only have to listen to it, rather than watch this shit.

It’s horrendous.

Ah now I get it. I knew the takeover & everything that happened since was a dream. Its like a pre 2008 game.

 

[madloaf]

Has alvarez had a touch yet? Genuine question.

Why would he? He's playing as a forward and we always pass sideways and backwards.

 

[East Level 2]

No need to let Wilson-Esbrand out on loan.

JW-E is too young. He's probably a better player but he's too young to be considered. Oh for the days of Glyn Pardoe making his first-team debut at 15.
