That is our worst game since Preston, no energy, no creativity and nobody able to put two passes together . You could have had Messi up front, it wouldent have made any difference . Nobody with the ability to look up and make a pass, we where to far apart, Sorry Brucie but you will never convince me, that Hepburn Murphy isn't better than Flabby . Got to get them up and at it for Sunday Onwards and Upwards Villaforever.

I do agree with you mate but I don't think the Gabby argument applies to this one (RHM is miles better) because as you said you could put Messi up front and he wouldn't of done anything, Gabby put himself about but you've got him uptop all he has is pace, was there one ball on the deck into the channel? Nope. Terrible performance as you said, Bruce has already laid into them saying he's making changes and not accepting it so hopefully better against QPR.

Ayew absolutely terrible, grealish and kodja anonymous, Gabby rubbish. The midfield is poor but today the defence were at fault for their goal, backed off and backed off and the keeper was way too far off his line. Then the attack was so poor, how much did they cost? Kodja had a good run of form but he was useless today as he was at Wigan, grealish looked like he didn't know what he was doing, Gabby showed effort but no quality, and ayew? Leave him at AFCON should have took the money for him and ran in the summer! Poor poor performance today, 1 shot on target and that came in the 93rd minute, Bruce needs to sort this out!

Blimey you’ve said all that in your analysis, and all I wanted to do was change 2 players.
I am in a room with six other guys and we all agreed, it ain`t rocket science, football is a simple game, meaning some simple changes and you can accommodate most players if they have talent.

Yes you can say that the defenders backed off for the goal. But where were the deep midfielders to stop runners.? I feel sorry for Jedinak he is our only midfielder.
The forward line did not have one single chance provided for them. That's why they were so poor.
Our midfield is a black hole. And if SB can't see it and rectify it in January then we can kiss goodbye to the top six.
We need 2 or even 3 top quality midfielders. God I'm so annoyed.

The England team has talent no doubt, don't achieve anything because they try to accommodate players instead of just playing players in their position. Don't know how that applies but just saying mate quality doesn't work if it's not in its right place. We were shocking today, some of the players need to seriously have a look at themselves because no one had a good performance today, we lacked any game plan and were second to everything. And if your referring to you saying take off Westwood and ayew and bring adomah and McCormack, when it was 0-0, sorry Dave but they cut through us with two midfielders, it would of been like a chainsaw through butter playing Jedinak as a lone midfielder and turned into a rout. The squad is so unbalanced it's unreal we have 1 winger 1 decent centre mid 5 strikers 2 centre backs, January can't come sooner Bruce needs to put his stamp on this team.

Andy your right about midfielders creating chances but the forward line has to be able to help themselves, they had the ball in the final third so many times and kodja and ayew just lost it running into bodies. They have to be able to hold it up, do the basics, and tonight none of them did.

And Andy watch the goal back, the midfielders are in position, the ball falls to their man by a deflection. The defence can't stand 10 yards off him.

DIRE. SHOCKING. WORRYING.
And that's just the midfield.
