Also, it’s worrying how crap we look defensively unless we play four centre-backs
Digne has never been a top level defensive player but we aren't going to create without him. Coleman is just bad now. You can make the case for Holgate being the permanent RB if Coleman is going to be this bad with the ball too.
 
Without the option to put DCL on as a guaranteed target for long balls we risk spending 45 minutes defending without James and Digne.

Id like to see Simms as he has to offer more than Cenk.

Nkounkou is good going forward as we have seen and Bernard might be trying to catch the eye of Roma
 

Controversial I know, but we are carrying James, in the first few games he played he didn't do much, but what he did made a massive difference to the game.
He hasn't done a thing since about October, if Iceland or God forbid Tom Davies had the same input, we would have lynching parties behind the park end stand.
I just want a few magic bits from him to justify his shirt, he doesn't have to run 10 miles a game.
We are carrying too many of them.
 

Olsen our best player, says it all lol

Oh well at least we are winning and can only improve second half.

He's been good overall but his long kicks haven't been great. Just keeps booting the ball back to their keeper.

Wouldn't be so bad if our outfield players weren't passing straight to the opposition every chance they got.

Thought Godfrey and Gordon were the standout players from that half. Both have played very well.
 
The issue is we totally stepped off the gas after scoring. The intent should have been to go and get 2 more and get it wrapped up.
Complete lack of leadership at the back from Coleman and Keane as well.
Carlo will sort it but if not for Olsen we’d be level or behind.

again, that word - conviction. Too many of our players lack it.
