[YoungWolf]

This is a Saunders of a performance from Lage.

Now now

 

[WsWolf]

Seriously, Hwang has been absolutely shite. If Adama put in his kind of performance, this forum would explode.

They've both been wank. In fact, you'd struggle to name someone who ain't been bar Sa.

 

[Mel Evo]

Hopefully changes soon now. Delay on that front was a worry against Newcastle but it will be a bigger one this time. That is in Lage’s gift.

 

[YoungWolf]

Traore and Hwang I feel for. Midfield three has struggled. Back five meh. Saiss has cost us really and Marcal didn’t defend that side well either

 

[Freddeno]

neves what kind of cross is that...

 

[Jinky]

GET RAUL ON BRUNO

Kilman’s been good.

 

[YoungWolf]

Kilman’s been good.

Him and semedo have been fine I think.

 

[Johnny75]

Kilman’s been good.

Semedo too. Think he's defended very well and got forward when needed.

 

[WsWolf]

Kilman’s been good.

He's done nowt wrong and a few decent forays. He's had hardly any real defending to do though.

 

[Mel Evo]

We don’t have a game plan - no shape, no creativity.

We can’t expect to win games with this team and this formation.

We just don’t have enough creativity in the final third.

It’s not Lages fault.

The first and the last line don’t seem particularly compatible.

 

[Freddeno]

neves again...

 

[jd1981]

I’m going to really stick my neck out here and claim we won’t make Martinez make a worthwhile save again today

 

[YoungWolf]

This game seriously lacking quality from either team tbf

 

[Freddeno]

Donk seems like a zombie, uninterested

 

[YoungWolf]

I’m going to really stick my neck out here and claim we won’t make Martinez make a worthwhile save again today

You’d be surprised wouldn’t you

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Bruno, man, you really need to stop leaving it so late to make changes. Get Raul on now!

 

[Alan]

Things just continue to not quite click, and I don't know if Bruno will see January.

 

[Jinky]

We are on top at the moment, so why isn’t he getting Raul on the pitch?

Biggest criticism of Bruno so far has to be his indecision to make substitutions at key points. It’s obvious to me we’re not scoring with Adama + Hwang as the front 2.

 

[Bertiewolf]

Whole of our midfield has been below par
