Get 3-0 up then sling Alli on.... ??

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

I love him, not even embarrassed by it anymore

 

[Lob]

Got to be happy with that first half considering the pressure we are under. Nothing fantastic but we look much more steady with Delph and Allan back in the team. DCL offering very little again though and needs swapping for Rondon. Big half coming up, i would be tempted to shut up shop and try and defend our lead and hit on the counter when the opportunities arise. All that matters is getting 3 points no matter what we have to do to get it and i don't care if its not pretty.

Do you think his head has been turned? He doesn’t strike me as the sort.

No, I just think he can't get up to speed having to come back mid season, many a footballer have said it's really hard to get up to speed when you have been injured and your coming back mid season.

The level of fitness and sharpness the team have is a level above yours and your always playing catch up.

"Win" - he doesn't press and doesn't tackle, so more or less keep, not win.

Well what I mean is having another playing closer to midfield would help. DCL isn’t helping out much so far up

 

[maccavennie]

Allan just needs to be very careful when he picks his moments to press as it doesn't half leave us wide open in midfield. A couple of times he was completely taken out the game and leaving Delph isolated (he's had an excellent half btw)

 

[Bluerover]

Shouldn't have been in the starting 11 given his form. Same for Keane. But Frankie seems to be picking players on reputation no matter how they perform so why not just stroll around the park in the sunshine for a bit

I take it his handbag is Royal Blue today

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Do you think his head has been turned? He doesn’t strike me as the sort.

100%. He's just going through the motions at the minute, running out the clock to get him move in the summer IMO. Flat out not interested in being here or jeopardizing that.

 

[bluelife]

Don't see us hanging on to this for long. Need a 2nd or it will be 1-1 within 10 mins

 

[Curtis]

You know how certain people evoke a look from an earlier era or time, is it me or does harry Maguire look like a medieval stable boy?

 

[kenada_blue]

Literally need to just go back to basics now. They'll be chasing it. Hit the channels, fight, keep it simple.

Lamps needs to make the right subs too. Doucoure for Gordon at some point to fill that midifield

 

[carolinablue232]

They were two saves he should be making tbh.

Still good saves and pushed both away from his goal.

 

[john jako]

Nah, 3 games and if he's not scored 5 goals - fire him. Not good enough.

It’s absolutely true lol. Proper bipolar fan base

 

[Parker]

Btw, Coleman is a proper crap captain.

Should be on Pickfords arm atm, Mina's when he's fit.
