Also was obvious to see that Hennessey ain't comfortable at all playing out from the back but has been instructed not to hoof the ball, I really can't see the problem we've got benteke up top get the ball up to him and try and hit Huddersfield on the break instead of playing about with the ball and letting them all get back.

Loftus Cheek agrees

Study us under Freedman, Pulis and Alladyce.

Give up on the system and work with the players that you have, that is being a good manager.

Unfortunately I don't think we will change and we will get sparked by Liverpool next week. This could be a blessing in disguise

IH: "I thought Jonny and Wilf were brilliant but it took a 39 year old master to watch the ball and keep his eye on it to finish it".

Now I really am worried, having read that CA interview

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

It's just so so so so so so simple. Everyone can see it literally everyone.
If FDB wants to see out this new style of play for us he simply cannot play some of the players we have...square pegs round holes right? We don't have the payers with the quick thinking, quick feet, technical ability required.
That cannot ever be our starting 11 again what he played on Saturday.
WARD - not good enough anymore (sorry to say) even at RB let alone being asked to now be more of an attacking outlet for us. All kinds of wrong. When have you EVER seen Ward bomb down the right and swing in any kind of end product? He is a right back end of. And not a very good one anymore either.
HENNESSEY - I mean come on? Why are we not even being linked with any new keepers? I thought him being absolutely dreadful had finally been recognised with Speroni playing a few games but then suddenly w*** Hennessey is back in. He installs 0% confidence in the defence/team and you can just see it. He cannot command a thing. He needs to be replaced and quickly. A new keeper would lift everything. Do it now.
PUNCHEON - can someone please tell me why this bloke walks into our team week in week out? I do not understand. Yes he is red and blue throughout but what does he ever actually do? He would get a 5/10 every game almost over the last 2 years! He doesn't create, he doesn't defend, he breaks down passages of play numerous times because he needs 11 touches and fannying around with it in a circle before he can release it. He is dead wood and a wast of someone else who could be playing. Keep him club captain but he is not good enough and we all know it. I don't understand what attributes he brings to our starting 11. Squad yes team hell no not anymore.

We desperately need a new GK and a striker too. What the hell happens if Benteke gets injured? I mean seriously? We have absolutely nobody it's pure madness. Hence why he strolls around most the time knowing that his pace is under no threat whatsoever.

Get Cabaye fit and back in the team. Start Townsend as he is one of the only players at the club who can run at players and attack teams at pace and actually have a proper end product, either having a crack at goal himself or a nice little dink for Benteke.

And sign Sakho. Now. For the love of god sign him. Even if he only has one leg.

My team with the squad as it is would be and if RDB insists on 3-4-3:
GK Speroni
LCB Reidewald
CB Dann
RCB Tomkins
LWB Van Aanholt
RWB Fosu-Mensah
CM Milivojevic
CM RLC
AM Townsend
AM Zaha
ST Benteke

And this is only the team if Cabaye is still crocked. He needs to fit in somewhere when he is back in RDB style team as he is our only decent passer of the ball.

THE END.

If we lose our next 9 games then he has to go!
