    How do you 'find' a CF with two wingers who are crossing in towards a bloke of 5ft 9?

    Not surprised to be honest.

    Not sure what the owners have to do with it.

    Slav wants us to go through, and put out the team he thought would give us the best chance.

    45 to go, and everything to play for. Let's just hope Slaven can mix things up a bit, that was hard work to watch. Coyi ;scarf

    Why do the commentators keep saying caleji. Is Calleri really pronounced like that?

    What is going on on the training pitch, because the players just look so slow

    Takes them a couple seconds to get moving

    Agree on the balance being off with Burke at LB even more so when our look at Antonio on the left cutting in gives us no width

    Problem is there isn't much to do to fix it, maybe Ogbonna at LB and Nordveit RB with Reid LCB

    Need some class on the ball, hell even Browne atm he may be green but he's exactly the type of player we need right now in Lanzini and Payets absence

    By getting them not to do it?

    How tall is Suarez or Messi?

    Valencia on ;sbrew

    They were playacting enough in the first half, can only imagine how bad it's going to be this half ;weep

    Grey,

    There has always been a line of thought that for the rewards you get, the time and expense put into getting though to the later stages against the chances of reaching them was a poor investment.

    If we had managed to qualify for the Champions League do you not think there would have been a bigger investment in better players? If the owners have aspirations of European football year in year they should be telling the Manager to put out the strongest team possible and investing in a full strength squad to enable the manager to put out his strongest squad in all competitions - not a barely adequate one.

    How many times does Antonio want to try taking people on and losing in?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Fletcher on for Calleri, who, unlike Valencia on Sunday, makes an effort to get off the pitch quickly.
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Fletch ready to go? I think we need some urgency. I don't want this to end up like an England Iceland scenario.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Reid heads wide from a corner, they do look suspect at set pieces.

    Should be 10 minutes added with all the time wasting so far.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Antonio not having a good game (hopefully he provides a bit of magic now I've typed that).
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Calleri's missed two sitters, Reid and Antonio's headers could/should have gone in.

    We ain't gonna score tonight people.

    Bilic said he will name a strong squad and sees this game as more important than the City game.

    Wow we are going down then ;sofa

    Can't believe how bad we are.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Keeper finally booked for time wasting.

    Had enough of this ;footie
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Fletcher went down quite easily in the box after a nice little run, but he was barged into. Bet your life it woulda been given against us.

    Does Valencia actually know what a goal is?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Valencia takes it off of Antonios head, but puts it wide.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    We re going out - call off the striker search sully, we now don't need one
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Is Fletcher right now our #1 striker.......

    Getting balls into the box now at least
