Drop this s***ty 343 and go back to 433 stop this tiki taki bulls*** and a system we've not got the plays for. Stop ignoring the fact weve got one of the best target men, start Townsend and wilf, drop puncheon and play loftus cheek instead with milo and cabaye and get rid of ward and hennessy. He won't tho will he, take zaha out our team and we would he useless.

Yes the 3 in midfield pick itself with milo behind canary and RLC (who looks a great player) as does benteke up front with wilf and Townsend the wide men.

Buy some established Premiership quality players to keep us up this Season. All teams need a strong spine and we should have done what Bournemouth did and signed a great keeper, Sakho at Centre back and a striker to back up Benteke. Get back to the mentality of first focus is on keeping a Clean Sheet. Bring through any change in playing style gradually once we can afford to sign top players to deliver it effectively. The naivety of Pre Season and yesterday suggests that we will be in the bottom 3 in October (take a look at our fixtures after Southampton) and FDB will be sacked by Xmas.

Two classy wingers, a world class target man and we play a system that plays against our strengths

Agree strongly with that last paragraph :-( Just can't believe how bad / unprepared the build up to this season has been.

He won't tho will he, take zaha out our team and we would he useless. Unfortunately I don't believe that FDB knows any other system. The 'total football' philosophy of high pressing, possession football is embedded in him from Ajax and he's going to persist with it until it works. I don't think anyone was confident going into yesterday's game as we all know it's going to take time for it work and we're going to have to accept that and be patient. The return of Cabaye will help as him and RLC are both technically good on the ball. As it stands we certainly need a GK who can use his feet and comand his area, another CB who can use his feet (Riedewald was pathetic in my opinion) and a RWB. Expect more dross vs Liverpool and Swansea and after that if no improvements and new signings it's time to get nervous.

After 1 game leave the new manager do his job. Even HT manager, Wagner said the score wasn't deserved.
