Saint Without a Halo

Not much is going right at the moment anywhere in the club

Just how many leads can we give away?

. Don’t spoil it we might have a chance ifweplayed ourselves

Agree with this Long gives us an outlet to relieve pressure particularly away when we are under the cosh Without him the ball just comes back. He is a fighter always committed wins the ball back more than any other forward and is always a handful for defenders he makes other sides defend deeper against us. There are many other reasons to play Long other than for goals especially away from home and against the big boys I agree that against weaker teams at home Ings and Austin are better bets in a crowded goal mouth. It is horses for courses.

It pains me to say it, but on yesterdays performance he was not up to Boufal standard never mind Tadic The team currently lacks any real creativity around the box which is why what few goals we manage to score seem to come mainly via crosses or set pieces.

We are totally lacking in creativity against a second string Brighton side

You forget that by the sponsor subsidising away fans they are increasing the clubs gate money Can’t see our lot wanting to stop that? Can you?

Hasn’t really been much to make a noise about in the last two seasons and this one so far to be fair!

Yup the teams we couldn’t beat in our first three fixtures not really setting the world alight in their other fixtures are they?

Should have subbed him! Lucky not to be booked 1st 15 mins and committed a number of niggly fouls later Not worth keeping on with other similar standard but unbooked mids on the bench

Pathetic

Another season and i didnt think we could be worse and we are 8 straight seasons of improvement and now how many going backwards?

We sacked Puel allegedely for poor style and have been dreadful ever since

More like non existent

He didnt miss it was pushed past him by the keeper To be fair to long his all round hasselling as well as clearing headers defensively is one of the reasons we have enjoyed good possession and bot looked ubder threat

I would rather have gone with Yoshida and Bednarek than Hoedt and Stephens

So only ings playing from the four signings brought in to improve the team

I think the window only applies for players in the first team you can put any players in your yourh teams even trialists

What a great suggestion! Thats a breach of health and safety and will lead to work stopping and yet further delay

We will miss him was the one creative player we had let us hope Mo can develop into a similar player

Tadic getting AJAX through to next round his assists and goals will be missed this year Was certainly worth more than 10m why on earth did we not arrange a swap for one of their players if he had a promise he could leave this year Holland was a relatively good hunting ground for us with Tadic and Pelle, only Clasie failed to live up to his promise.

Bit better last 10

Even a lower league team at home would put more pressure on Burnley Its a training match for them so far

How are we still in this Burnley more chances in 2nd half 5 mins than us all match so far

There used to be a time when oue defensive midfielders never let anyone get to the centre backs we used to press when the ball in midfield and all our centre backs were untroubled Unfortunately it is now our forwars who are untroubled bring back Wayama and Spiderman Lemina and Romaeu just arent up to it!
