Djenepo aint a leftback. That's on him tbh, Bednarek had to get a touch so don't blame him.

Shocking defending.

That is why Djenepo is not a LB and shouldn’t even be considered there. Dreadful. 

Expand  

Yes, not sure what Ralph sees in him that nobody else does but he can be stubborn so will probably stick with it.

Do we think Tino could play as one of the 10’s?

He’s playing Valery there at the moment. Looks like a fish out of water, as well.

Ralph does like to force a square peg into a round hole.

Can see why he’d want Tino is his natural position on his debut though, but would be interesting to see if we could get KWP with Tino in front on that right hand side, would kill two birds with one stone if he could play there.

I was thinking the same. Not sure it occurs to Ralph.

Got to be Adams and Tella up front next week.

Seriously? Still don’t get the thinking behind these 2 friendlies with short benches. Is Ralph trying to show the board how thin we are squad wise?

Oh yeah forgot about him. I was going to say Redmond as a third choice, but yes, Walcott too. Suppose can start all three. Tino ahead of Redmond as well on the wing.

To be fair he's got nothing around him, all he's had to aim for most of the game is Obafemi and Long.

Think he's moved more into a number 6 role in the 2nd half.

The board aren’t stupid, they know the squad limitations as we all do. 
 

Ive no idea what’s going through his head to be honest. But if Djenepo is ever needed to play at LB in a competitive game, we may as well not bother turning up. 

[Pamplemousse]

Tino surely our second choice left back, unless KWP is injured. But then you could just put JWP there.

I imagine he doesn't want to overplay Perraud but doesn't have anyone else to rotate.

[qwertyell]

It's just weird to have two full backs on the pitch, but only one of them playing at full back while a winger flaps around out of position at left back.

Espanyol - we were 4 nil down at half time.  I think they were told to reign it in a bit after the break and it finished a 'respectable' 2 - 4 loss.

Have learned today that McCarthy should not be first choice?

I think we all knew that - it's more a case of how bad are we.  Are we 'bottom 3' bad, and if we are, what are we going to do about it?

I know it was a weaker squad today, however; I don’t think many will be worse than that.

Bilbao we’re basically in second gear and still battered us. They play Liverpool tomorrow FFS
