    Lascelles

    Not sure what went on between him and Rafa when he was injured. Any professional player knows when they tweak their hamstring and he just seemed to be ignoring Rafas' attempts to ascertain what the damage was. He doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength with Rafa any more and risked the game by hobbling about and i will be surprised to see him play in the next 3 games.

    Aye, was strange. Rafa seemed exasperated.

    Lascelles should have gone off straight away...hamstring tweaks don't miraculously heal themselves so he should have been more responsible. He was a massive liability while he was on, almost cost us two goals and has almost certainly damaged it more than he would have if he'd come off straight away.

    I'd like to know what Lascelles was playing at. He nearly cost us that game. Unprofessional and I'd fine him.

    There definitely should be an inquest like,I thought Rafa was going to blow a gasket.God knows what Lacelles was thinking,I've not seen anything like it.Certainly not in (modern ) times..

    I am still bemused as to why we brought an extra defender on. It was a terrible decision by Rafa

    Why didn’t he move Schär into the back four and bring Hayden on

    Probably because schar was having a decent game and he may be needed as a CDM on the coming weeks. I wanted him to play there instead of Hayden against Chelsea.

    So I guess Rafa just went like for like when Clark came off.

    I thought Rafa looked weak. He should have hauled him off within a min or two as you can’t run hamstring injuries off. It was clear as day he couldn’t run and as was said when he was on he was a liability. If he hoyed a hissy fit let him, he would only show himself up.

    Our captain hasn't exactly covered himself in glory this season has he, what with one thing and another...
