James Rodriguez is a rare genuinely world class player in the Prem, not that many of them about

Crawley

No he doesn't, he hasn't got a club for a reason

It's about class as usual

Yeah, only one had a hand in all 3 which is the point being made here

Exactly, he got caught a couple of times very early on but was OK after that, against the best midfield he will face this season imo. He won the penalty as well quite cleverly.

Bizarre, Westbrooke struggled against top end league 1 teams

Once he got up to speed he was fine, didn't look out of place.

I think Kelly and Sheaf might be what we need for the next run anyway tbh.

Anyway, as I've said all along Kelly is our most important player, so I'm looking forward to his return

I think Giles being out of position was the least of the problems with the 3rd

Giles performance last night almost felt like a surrender

I thought he played a part in all 3 1st he got sucked to the ball while Lerma sat waiting on the edge of the area 2nd he lost the ball then didn't follow his man Gosling 3rd he did a half hearted challenge when he could have just stood the player up On the ball he's very good but off it not...

Hmmm

He was a liability anyway so think he has earnt a spell on the bench

The Russian was at least £100m in by the time you got promoted, you got a FFP fine didn't you? Never mind where you are after £300m sky income. You still had a massive deficit in the last accounts despite £110m in Sky money.

The wing backs need to be gambling more, if they don't move up the pitch we've got no out ball, both of them were painfully conservative. The one time we got Giles forward first half and gave Sheaf an out ball we created a chance (albeit via a great touch from O'Hare)

You were bankrolled up the leagues, you're no plucky underdogs. You should go up this season, indeed you'd have stayed up if you gave Howe the boot at the right time. Agree broadly with your assessment on us, we gave you too much respect even though you player for player were better than us.

First off, they're much better than I anticipated. Players like Lerma and Gosling are better than this level. They're no good at the back but we didn't really test that. Marosi 5 some good saves but like early last season, needs to look at the game in front of him before playing short Ostigard...

Shipley played in that 3 every time he played last season once we had switched formation
