I think the negativity comes from repeat outcomes. Predictable lineups, crap finishing and our position in the table which I don't think reflects our ability or industry.

Lot of people calling for Meyer to start, PVA and Macca to be dropped. I think these are obvious changes that Roy could try immediately and probably won't.

Respect the point. Probably should have taken 3 alas but we will see what happens in the Burnley/Brighton game. Amazing we are (temporarily) above Brighton since they were clear of us by a fair few points only a few weeks ago. Like last season again.

If this is the case then we need to look at Wolves, who battered West Ham recently at home scoring 3 and did the same to Everton. Whatever we are trying to do you need goals to win games and we don't have them at the moment.

I don't need that kind of excitement.

I would rather Brighton lose and stay below us. They are in a terrible run of form and are probably more likely to go down than Burnley. Plus it's Brighton FFS.

I love Jimmy Mac, but he needs to be on the bench next week after that performance today. We have enough options now that playing time should be based on merit. Fail to produce, give someone else the next game.

This should also be Benteke last game as a starter. Bring him off the bench if we need him, but Batshuayi is the man, and Benteke is where goal chances go to die.

For us to be in a relegation battle with the talent on our roster is absolutely criminal.
