Christ on a bike.

Montero is murdering Hibbert, that much is obvious. However the worrying issue is that we don't look like scoring at all - we don't appear to be interested. We've no off-ball movement worth speaking of, and we are glacially slow when we have the ball.

What i don't understand is when Swansea have the ball they ALWAYS have people open for the pass, but when we have it NO-ONE is open. it's not a slight difference, It's night and day. Both Besic and Gibson made some early bursts forward, but nothing since Dyer scored for them.

The on-field leadership is an issue again too. I missed the first three minutes and I genuinely cannot tell you who our captain is tonight.

Garbutt and Eto'o look good. Great to see Oviedo and Gibson back too, but enough is enough - win the game.
 
A poor patch in form, and fans crying for a defensive coach as if they have any clue whats going on in training and what is or isnt required.

Vast majority of football fans have no patience and can't see beyond the recent games, the game coming up.

Also Besic has done already apart from two or three mistakes. If you can't spot he is going to be a very good player I despair.


The fans are stupid sometimes, how many times have we been knocked out of this cup and been beaten by the rs but our fans are making it out we're in a rot that wont be cured, our fans can be drama queens sometimes, we will recover. Martinez is not perfect and will make mistakes, that why he our manager and not the Barca manager.
 
Never really been too bothered about this competition, but I am alarmed at the developing pattern of dreadful defending and lack of tempo.
Whatever happens in the next 45 minutes the big questions for me are about what we do in the next 2 league fixtures. Neither of the sides we face have looked convincing and seem to be having similar issues. Lose both heavily and Roberto will come under pressure like he has never seen. Shame as I desperately want him to succeed, but this is a results business and a cut throat one too.
