I don't even see Kev or Gerard even warming up

Osman was though lol

 

[Saaby]

Silva has been the best buy in premier league history

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Have you ever considered a winger, Roberto?

Yeah, he's about to spunk 20m on one and sit him next to his other wingers Del and Kev on the bench.

 

[Jags..class]

Chasing a game, you don't leave Gerry or Mirallas on the bench and bring on Nais, you just don't.

You need players that can pick it up and run and beat players.

I'd have gone Mirallas, perfect Sub in this situation.

Naismith is on to help browning

 

[longers]

our final sub and he's going with osman. ok

 

[Tommy Chong]

We need something in that final 3rd because there is nothing there

No movement off the ball... It's ridiculous!

To be honest, he should have brought both Del and Mirallas on at the same time - It's a ludicrous decision he's made there

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Why is Naismith hugging the left touch line? If he brings Osman on he's clearly on a wind up.

 

[maccavennie]

Come on Blues let's up the bloody tempo

 

[RFUS]

Mirallas isn't fit.

[Shibbywiggles]

Love Coleman. Still time blues

 

[ianefc]

But he did score today ...

Not yet. Ill quite happily let me look stupid but statistically he won't

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

I also dont see the point in sending Garbutt out on loan, whilst retaining the likes of Browning.

 

[chrissyjack]

What ?

 

[LocalNative]

I've had enough of this bs. Mirallas and Del, two of our most talented players sitting on the bench when we need a goal. They may not be fully fit but if they haven't got enough in the tank to play 20mins they shouldn't be on the bench at all.

Absolute disgrace that Naismith comes on for Kone and Osman looks set to be the next sub.
