Not having KWP in our starting XI (nor even coming off the bench in one of the worst PL performances I can remember) seems part of our muddled thinking. I'd be very surprised if it was an attitude thing, but he was probably our best player in the last two seasons and has good PL experience. How the rickety fuck is he not playing in this shithole of a team?

Their central defence is better than ours, even though they're dead.

If one thing that is absolutely certain, we will definitely fuck up the replacement, but that might at least take as one step closer to exposing Rasmus as the root of all incompetence.

He'll never be comfortable compromising his possession-style (which was always going to be suicidal in the PL with our squad) and hasn't any pedigree in making teams tighter. He'll be far too spiky to put up with continued question marks over his job - sadly, he's not what we need at this stag. He's been very let down by being given a squad which is physically and technically inadequate.

Is his body attached to his brain?

Might as well keep him for arsenal humiliation. And then I'd make BB-D manager.

Really? Why?

Hopeless. Changing RM won't make much difference, but that felt like his nadir.

That was a low point

I know he's listed on the squad sheet, but has anyone seen KWP today? I'm worried he may have died.

My favourite BBD bit today was that cheeky little back heel he tried that went ten yards in the wrong direction

In what scenario would Tall Paul have come on (and therefore why have him on the bench?)

This is the worst of all worlds, a drubbing but with an improved second half display that might save him,

Got to get Dibling off

it's clever how RM has kept KWP up his sleeve

Any hope the we may have had that Stewart might be the answer has been quietly extinguished

A suitably shit cross and malco finish there.

Someone's forgotten to put BBD's brain in at half time

He'll probably have Stewart playing on the RW and BBD in Wiltshire.

SR choosing not to have a Director of Football remains unfathomable. Recruitment appalling. Possession-based strategy naive. Martin a sitting duck in the PL.

I haven't clocked those. But you'd hope Martin would know better.

I can't wait to see what subs we bring on at half time. Unforgivable to play Dibling through the middle. Amazingly naive tactically, and crass man-management. I appreciate we've got shit players, but that decision alone is a sackable offence.

Taylor has been ok. Fernandes has found some space on occasion. We are utterly appalling.

the squad is terrible, but the set up is bizarre.

Suagawara appalling tonight
