Stop passing to Roberts for GS

[spaldy]

Is roberts better with 2 good legs or just 1?

[CalverleyBoy]

He needs to smack a Leicester player and get sent off that would level it up to ten aside

Everything changes but …..

Unlucky, but we need more than that, losing Roberts after a few mins, sums things up really.

Jesus, the second consecutive game with 19 shots and ZERO goals. As well as missing reasonably clear cut chances there was little effort to get on the end of things. We played a lot of dangerous balls into the box but into thin air - I cannot believe that Rodrigo is really an international centre forward, his ability to get into the right areas to contact the ball is limited.

The commentator actually said "Roberts is just a passenger" well, no change there then. Why did he stay on, all that did was create a distraction. I obviously wouldn't wish harm on anyone, but if his injury happened to keep him out for the rest of the season I wouldn't be too disappointed.

Defended better today, even Firpo made a few clearances. Not sure about Koch in that holding role; he doesn't tackle much and his passing is variable.

Raphinha is an embarassment to the fans, if you can't be arsed then leave.

Generally fall into the "happy clapper" category but also am pragmatic.

The loss today is much more signficant than a 3 point failure. The first game sets the tone. Just like Stoke set MB's tenure in motion this one sets the tone for the rest of the season. A loss here indicates we'll be "close" on our games but will fall short. The opposite of MB's start. Stoke at home were even more favored by the bookies than this game but we came out and destroyed them.

I think that goal relegates us. I know that it's only one game and we looked way better than the last 4 games but it's still a loss and losing is just as contagious as winning. Kasper had a brilliant game but we still missed quite a few sitters. Joffy and Raph were AWOL we were also very unlucky on Firpo's shot which was deflected.

Meslier has one shot to stop each half and only stops 1 of them. He started to believe he was a world class keeper. If he wants to see what the is he should be looking across the pitch at Kasper. Dallas was torched all day. They basically ran by him at will. He didn't even come back when Barnes got by him. They didn't even test the other side since they could move it down at will on the right side. Ayling did well but he is adventeresome so he really needs someone on his outside that can shut down his player.

we can't head a ball on goal to save our life. The one header on goal today looked like an accident from a pretty steep angle from Koch. .

I have no clue what Forshaw is doing on the bench. Have no clue why Roberts was subbed in and have no idea what the happy clapper celebration on the pitch after we lost a crtical game. F8ck that noise.

I think that Burnley will squeak it out. It's down to whether Brentford do worse than us the rest of the season.

Afraid to say it but we will be relegated, not much changes, lots of chances, many shots, no goals, can't score, opposition takes their chance or chances, we lose...end of....no points again whilst all around us gain some, think we'll even end up bottom, as I can easily see Norwich turning us over next Sunday, as they did in our last 6 pointer with them 2 seasons ago. Yet another rap weekend.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Seems like the only thing that changed was how we press.

Please let Phillips be fit soon.

We swapped a legend for some bloke most of hasn’t heard of - better have figured it out by the time we play Norwich otherwise we are looking more than in trouble.
