striker

Was just thinking the same thing. Ref's are ignoring him now.

Its actually amazing that we are ahead considering the way Redmond and Tadic are playing. Boufal at least is a must.

Tadic and Redmond really look poor, Targett looks invisible. Most of Austin's touches have come from dropping back into midfield (where is Tadic?). I'd bring on Boufal for Targett and Romeu for Redmond.

Huddersfield players don'e seem to think it was intentional based on their reactions.

I just don't see Targett, he is pretty useless at this level.

Austin is too slow

MP should sub on Boufal, PEH, and Romeu right now, 14 minutes in.

Midfield looks terrible.

Like to see a 3-5-2, with Austin and Gabbi at the same time. I just don't think we are built for a lone striker. I'd even try a 3-4-3, with Austin, Gabbi, and Boufal. Lemina, Romeu, Hoj, and Tadic in the mid.

Liverpool just gave up 3 goals in 5 minutes to Arsenal, and the commentators rightly pointed out that they need a CB. They will be all over VVD in 2 weeks.

Uh oh, who can we blame for this week then?

LOL, I don't think I've ever seen Redmond kick the ball 30 yards.

Would love to see this line up, trading Tadic for Targett, but it will never happen. MP is too stubborn on his 1 striker setup, I guess because it works so well for us.

Jay Rod has started almost every match, over 1,300 minutes played, with 2 goals.

Redmond can't complete a pass

Looks much better with Austin. 3 shots, 2 on goal, we are much more threatening.

Redmond is really poor

Leicester were flat. They have played very well, probably tired.

Austin coming on. I hope we go 2 upfront, no reason not to try.

Do we have shot on goal yet? I can't remember one.

Can't help but wonder if some of the removed players had something to do with the "commitment" comments during the week.

Wow. With the match schedule I expected a couple of tweaks like Austin being given a rest, but this is much more extreme.

Time to start the "We need Black back to fix the squad" threads.

So who was MP talking about when he commented on some players "lack of commitment"? Any ideas?

LOL, might want to call up an extra goalkeeper from our PL2 squad too. I think MP sits Austin for this, with Gabbi playing the whole way (maybe a late sub by Long).
