What do you mean Franca back? He’s never played a minute for us and we retained an injured Olise who we all hope recovers otherwise that’s another “gem” and significant money down the drain.

Can only hope that the one player with ability to bring the ball forward (instead of the passing back ballet) namely Riedewald is given the opportunity to do so. Nobody else has the skill.

Schlupp and Ayew not justifying their selection.

As for our crocked 20 million keeper words failed me when we bought him and I am now appalled he seems to have gone off with a pulled muscle. We already have a capable reserve in Matthews (and Goodman out on loan).

Ah well, we score all our goals in the second halves of matches, so I wait in (hopeless) anticipation ...

I expect us to give it a go at home to Fulham. Yes the mighty Fulham. I don't know whether you were there or not but they ran us ragged, especially in the first half.

Should have started with Mateta and Eduoard up front and taken the game to them, rather than his usual defensive set up, hoping to get a breakaway.

Tonight is just embarrassing. Even down to the bare bones, give it a go. Nothing to lose.

Less than 20 minutes played, no saves or anything much to do and injured himself just kicking ball downfield. Unbelievable and as previously stated smacks of insufficient warm-up which is just amateur hour

This might be far more embarrassing than I originally thought

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Oh yeah! We’re taking this game seriously!!!
