Tauro

8 points off top spot.

Is what it is. They still need to win two games more than us to go above us. We would smash them both.

Please don't put too much pressure on the lad. The step up is massive. Clearly he has the tools to be a good player, but many a youth player has made their debut and looked like a top talent - only to go on and not make it at this level. Let's hope he is able to kick on.

Aribo playing like he's been on the beers and mince pies

Wesley 🤦😂

Massive opportunity today to stay with the top 3 and cut loose from those behind. Not convinced by Manning at LB at all despite his improved performance last time out and aribo a big call. Need one hell of a performance and no pissing about with the ball. Good to see Stephens back amongst the fold.

That will be him done unfortunately.

Manning is a very poor footballer. Very glad Bree seems to have stepped up. Still completely toothless in the final third, unfortunately.

Such a boring and predictable "style" of football. Leicester will soon be 20 points clear of us.

Why on earth do you take your best player off? Absolute madness. Thrown the game away

Far too sensible a line up. Mad Russ won't play anything of the sort. Quite clearly that team should beat 95% of teams at this level and the fact Martin won't pick our strongest 11 is quite frankly baffling. Maybe it's the fluoride in the water sending him doolally.

🤡

Martin has to go. This style of football will not get us promoted

Shocking line up from the off cost us today. I fear that with all the options available, RM won't be able to consistently pick the best team. Quite clearly there are shoe ins each week... KWP, Bednarek, THB (based on previous experience), Charles, Downers, Alcatraz, Fraser, Adams. That spine week in week out should be more than enough to get us out of the division. My biggest concern is at LB it's such an obvious weak spot along with Bazunu in goal.

Very quickly we need some grit and league knowhow. When we came up we were fortunate to have the likes of schneiderlin, lallana, etc... Bit that was supplemented with Fonte, Hammond, Lambert and Connolly amongst others. Quite clearly we have some decent kids, but someone needs to be on the pitch to show them the way.

People really need to curb their expectations of this lad. The step from youth/reserve football is absolutely massive and we shouldn't be placing so much expectation on him. Hopefully he's more Theo Walcott/Gareth Bale in his breakthrough, rather than Matthew Patterson...

Can't wait for these random names to come out the woodwork again. Give me a Lucien Mettomo over a known entity any day of the week.

When we hired Adkins, I had a great feel about the appointment. It just felt right. This one, if we press ahead, doesn't. More than happy to be proven wrong but this feels more like the Puel appointment to me. Will probably be steady, but steady isn't good enough for our current position.

Shows how poor the premier League actually is now. Nothing to do with competitiveness. The teams in the bottom half, just aren't that good!

I'm not quite sure where the club goes from here. What a mess!

I think we have certainly got a couple of things wrong. We were in control of the game until the subs. JWP moving up the pitch has moved him out of the game and the big laf up top should have stayed on. Elyounoussi is still fucking crap.

Thought I'd give this a little bump. Fantastic today and coped very well 80% of the time against a very good Raheem Sterling - not going to be facing that quality every week. Such passion when he clears the ball off the line. We're gonna need that if we are to stay up.

Jones, just fuck off 👍 Did we even have a shot on target after the goal?

I honestly don't see what benefit any new signings will bring if we continue to set up as we do and fail to do the basics, especially when defending. Money being spunked away whilst this Muppet is in charge
