Saint Benali

How many goals has he scored from free kicks exactly?

Was nowhere near a foul on Forster. He just was slow to come out and didn't jump as high. Thankfully the guy was offside and the officials didn't mess that one up as could of been a huge mistake. But wow Forster was a lucky boy there. Koeman needs to have a word with him about keeping focus all the time.

Wow Forster you lucky boy. How many times does that guy **** up these days? Thank god that one's over with.

By law of averages JWP should put in a decent cross at some point.

Are you saying they have been playing well? Was a good post up until the bashing of bashers. JWP and Forster played poor and have done so on multiple games recently. Is it not right to point that out? Or should we just say well done lads because we are not allowed to pick out anything negative as that makes us a bed wetter or whatever?

As others have said could see it happening. We lack that killer touch going forward. Ward Prowse was utter gash. He shouldn't be taking our set pieces. I'm still not sure how he gets in the team as seems so over rated to me. Forster was terrible again. Doesn't have to do much but when he is asked to he is poor at starting positions. We badly need a pacey striker who can get behind defences as having Pelle try and do all the work is not working. Koeman needs to get a few players in now. Especially as Cork has gone. Midfield of Prowse and Reed is very lightweight and predictable. Need a plan B.

6 for me. His kicking and catching are terrible. Don't recall too many amazing saves just yet. Seems to lose focus quite a bit.

Forster, Davis and Cork were total gash today. We really need another centre midfielder in my view. Someone in the same vein as Vic and Morgan. Cork, Davis and Prowse are too lightweight when coming up against more physical teams.

I know he isn't a comedian in the same sense as some above but I really don't like James Cordon. As others have eluded too the material today is a lot weaker due to the age we live in. When you get sacked for saying someone looks like a spoon it tells you all you need to know really.

Still did more than long in the 10 minutes he was on. Also I don't get this whole it's not Longs fault about the fee thing. It isn't any players fault. But yet people like Osvaldo and Ramirez who cost the same or less are criticised? Long is a decent championship player but nowhere near good enough for a top half pl side. It's clear there are some who like him and some that don't. So this will run and run.

Isgrove made Long look utter crap today. When ever he go the ball he tried to get at a player or go for a sensible pass. His cross near the end was awesome. Long just runs, that's all he does. I'm not saying Long is to blame but he is adding nothing as a winger/forward. Pelle has so much to do on his own. Hopefully this new guy will chip in with goals and attacking play like Mane has.

Ipswich are no mugs. They have lost only once since August. To expect to put in fringe players and youngsters and easily beat them is dangerous. They are a very tough team. If we don't put out a strong team we will struggle to break them down. That's why I would put out our strongest team and then sub players if we are ahead and in control. Even with our strongest team out this will be a difficult game.

Like we did vs Burnley, City, Utd, Arsenal you mean?

Sorry but that is bull****. Without the two in front they have struggled. Morgan and Vic have made them look better than they are. Fonte was at fault for that goal by running into a player, then aimlessly toe poking the ball away. Which was dinked into Hazard. Can't blame Yos for that. Fonte ****ed up there, again.

Fonte and Yoshida proving the weakest link again. Bet Morgan and Wanyama are getting ****ed at them.

Opinion on him has not changed. He works his ass off and gives it 100%. But he has no footballing abilities, can't shoot, sloppy passing, can't dribble and take players on etc. Lacks the qualities needed at this level.

Long is the best £13m ever spent......

Playing crap especially Long. Hope Koeman puts a rocket up their ass at HT.

Really? Could swear I saw Pelle as the only guy up the field surrounded by 4 defenders most of the time?

Said it before and will say it again. Playing a lone striker is not working. Need to stop being so defensive in our set up. We need more creativity/talent in the team rather than graters. The other worrying thing is we seriously lack a plan B. I Love Koeman but his reaction tactics need working on. It is all well and good having 60% possession but if it's most from midfield to our back four it shows our thinking. Play safe rather than take chances.

Poor performance. How long until we get the whole we sold our best players line?

guess it's a game of opinions as I think Long has been pants so far. Some shocking shooting and ran into Tadic when there was a through ball. Football is more then running around. If Jay Rod or any of the other strikers had his chances they would put at least one away. I appreciate his work rate but he needs to add more to his game than just running around.

Is Danny Fox playing in the number 7 shirt for us tonight?

Did a good headless chicken impression at the weekend.

Long...... epic facepalm
