Come on...you can try harder than that.

I thought Dann looked solid enough, which was encouraging. As I was starting to worry he was done. But that's about it as far as positives go.

3) I had a lovely roast dinner

4) I don’t think we’ll see a worse performance this season

(If you’re reading this Roy, don’t see this as a challenge)

Not from benteke. Get Wickham and Eyew up front with Zaha and Townsend supplying them.

Regards to benteke you can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome anymore.

To me all that you have mentioned stems from the training ground. Today football is a lot different than it was 5 years ago and completely changed from the time when Hodgson methods where new. Training, tactics and game approach have all changed. If we are going to survive in this league, then all the above has to change.
Who know maybe that’s why Steven Reid quit, because his outlook on the game were being ignored.

Roy’s body language is not good at all.

Yes, he always looks bemused especially when he puts his finger on his chin ! Old man syndrome...being one myself 😀

Your right, probably 1st favorite.

Roy has not been backed at all and since he's been at the club we have made a profit of about £25m in player sales and let a lot of players go on frees or return to their parent clubs and not replaced them.

However, his reluctance to play to our strengths and his unwaivering loyalty to certain players could be his downfall here.

To not have got in a striker this window is criminal. I feel sorry for Roy but even with a change in formation and style at this point still doesn't hide the fact that we don't appear to have a striker at the club who is capable of getting more than 5 goals a season at the moment. I don't think playing to Benteke's strengths would change that either.

I was too angry with yesterday's "performance" to post anything when I got back from the game last night. It was very noticeable at the game the lack of signing & the resigned comments regarding the substitutions. We urgently need to get some effort into midfield & leave Benteke out, otherwise we will get relegated. it looks like RH has no clue what to do once the game has started to get away from us. We cannot rely on 3 teams being worse than us to save us, we need to be proactive in our endeavours to stay up.
