You must say that as someone who saw us win trophies in the past. Don't think anyone under the age of 35 would pass up winning a trophy. Couldn't care less about the 'modern game'. Watching us embarrass ourselves in a bloated competition is not something I'll look back and smile about in years...

Exactly. He looks up and Mykolenko is stood on the half way line and then there's Barry who is usually stood around being no threat or option whatsoever. Grealish being so good at holding the ball up is actually the only way we're going to be able to sustain an attack until Ndiaye returns.

I don't think Grealish has been good lately but you can't underestimate how difficult it is to have so little in the team to play off. Barry and Mykolenko especially are so poor. I understand why people are saying getting it in the box earlier and quicker but who to? There's such a lack of...

If we do our usual thing of bowing out the FA Cup early then we'll have plenty of two week gaps between games. If a player can't cope with the schedule we've had this season then they aren't fit enough for the modern game.

Don't think there's any chance they'll be changing the capacity of the lower. For me personally it's a shame because I think years to come the atmosphere will suffer as a consequence but there's little to be done about it.

I'd throw him in over McNeil over the next few weeks. It's a shame he'd likely have O'Brien behind him, which isn't ideal for a young player who needs support out there, but with the money we've spent we should be playing him more.

From day one I was surprised by how careless he can be in possession. His best attribute is the energy he can bring but that aside I don't think there's much there.

I've said before I think they got the South Stand wrong. If they were looking to create something iconic in the shape of a blue wall it hasn't worked. The biggest problem for me has always been how huge the upper tier is compared to the lower. You are probably right that there isn't the demand...

Defensively sound last night but being at the game last night just confirmed even more what you see on TV. Him and O'Brien are the worst full backs in the league on the ball. Not even the slightest intention from either to offer anything in attack.

The problem is the upper section is absolutely huge compared to the Street End. If people aren't prepared to stand in the big games or even for a corner in the second half then the atmosphere is always going to suffer. There were a lot of really old fellas around me last night so my gut...

Don't think he'd get anywhere near them. Seen absolutely nothing to suggest he's a threat from crosses. Think he missed the easiest chance of the season from one at Sunderland.

With the lack of options we've got it's going to be a very hard slog. Best case scenario is that we're spot on defensively and win by the odd goal.

Thought this for years. The good defensively shout makes me laugh. He just gets himself back in there only to contribute nothing.

My first time since the Roma game. I couldn't believe how many empty seats there were scattered around the stadium. I guess it's just a lot more noticeable in new grounds compared to somewhere like Goodison. I was in the south upper and thought the atmosphere was alright on the odd occasion it...

Honestly I think it's absolute nonsense about the service being poor. Just a bad excuse for a player that is nowhere near the level we need. The service looks poor because he can't do anything well. Best case scenario is he controls a simple pass and lays it back into midfield.
