Anyone still defending the bald fraud?

That's another debate in itself. In our current financial position it doesn't look great. 3 years ago it would have been good risk to take.

Our manager wants us to play this way. The risk is always going to be there. It was a mistake. Shit happens. Mads has made some crucial saves this season. He didn't need some of the jeering he got from the KOP before HT.

The lads just turned 20 and is playing in what is in effect his first full season. He's very erratic and does blow hot and cold but there's clearly a talented player in there. The lack of competition on either wing doesn't help. All our players need to be fighting for their places to reduce complacency. I'd like to see him benched for a game or two. Give Yunus a chance and make Fatawu fight for his place.

Hes a young lad who still needs to develop. The real issue we have is that we don't have many options our wide and Enzo isn't willing to try others there. The lack of competition is killing things.

That's because there's something newsworthy to report on now. Up until a month ago there were 3 teams fighting for 2nd place. Now there's 4 teams fighting for top two place. That's on us. If our arses didn't fall out, there'd be no wankfest.

Seeing as Enzo is a man who is so driven by a system that's supposed to be disciplined, its baffling that Faes is consistently picked. Faes is literally the opposite of that. Always caught out of position and gives the ball away in silly areas.

The fact we used up our substitution windows, whilst still at 2 all, sums Enzo up currently for me. I find his game management odd. Having a back four with a centre back as a left back and a centre midfielder as a right back just isn't going to work. Especially against Premier League oopposition. Chelsea's biggest threat was their pace, so we picked the slowest back four possible. The insistence of playing Faes too, is infuriating.

Defensively we are a shambles. Weak as piss and slow a ****. I'm not having Doyle as a left back. Not in this system or any system.

Disgusting performance but its stopped the rot. We do seem to be playing like our arses have completely fell out.

Enjoyable game overall. We've not rolled over. Sadly poor finishing again though. Need to be better infront of goal.

Doyle is really being exposed tonight defensively.

Their best player.

Bloody wally. Still love him. No harm done💙

Fans tend to be so extreme with their views. Personally, I don't enjoy this style of football. That's nothing to do with Enzo, my preference is faster and more direct. Given a choice between watching Pep's Man City team or Klopps Liverpool (at their best), I'd choose Klopps Liverpool. Guess which manager has more trophies though? Ultimately it's a result business and I won't be complaining should we lift the title this season. Enzo transformed the club from what was a sinking ship into possible title winners. It's also refreshing to see the youth team also implementing the system and style of play. At least we now have an identity, even if it's not my cup of tea. I won't and don't sit there moaning about the ball not going forward because I understand what they are trying to do. I just wish at times the players would look for the forward pass a little more. So yeah, I appreciate what he's doing, even if I don't enjoy it at times.

No one else could have put that ball through?! Come off it. It was a good ball through but let's not turn it into something it wasn't. Whilst I think he "made the penalty" because of his determination to win the ball and drive with it, he literally ran past the ball instead of shooting. Somehow he ended up with a penalty. Third goal involvement was just chaotic, which sums up Daka nicely. There's always a player or two that divide opinions. Daka is one. Iheanacho was one previously. There's many others over the years too. For me, Daka isn't a very good footballer. The ball bounces off him. He can't pass. He can't hold the ball up particularly well. I do believe, despite one horrific miss and another effort that could have knocked someone out in "Row Z," he's not a bad finisher. He should play off the last man, not coming in deep. Ultimately though he provides a bit of chaos and entertainment, even if at times it's laughing in disbelief.

Looks like a proper striker. Nice to see him get in behind a couple of times too. Keeper made a great save to deny a second (which wasn't given as a corner) and should have had a peno.

Made it hard work but we will take it. Really like what I'm seeing from Cannon.

Well that's me ignoring anything he says from now on 🤣

I was told by someone who knows him that he's likely to be in the squad today. I'm taking his comment with a pinch of salt for what it's worth.

Arguably Fatawu could have been sent off against Birmingham had there have been VAR. Shit happens. 2pt dropped mainly due to a fluke of a goal and the fact we let them back into the game second half by taking our foot off the gas.

Questionable refereeing. Questionable substitutions. Fluke of a goal. Weird game all round. I didnt feel we would concede but I also felt we lost control of the game for a huge portion of the second half. I still feel we lack that killer instinct to finish teams off. We move on.

Mavididi was brilliant. KDH head and shoulders above this league currently. I just worry we aren't clinical enough and lack a little bit of killer instinct. Very wasteful in attack, despite the 3 goals. Defensively I still worry about JJ. This system doesn't suit him. He was so weak for their second goal. A wins a win but we made that hard work.

Plymouth have provided a blueprint of how not to play against us. Their ridiculous high line exposed them massively and played into our hands. It's a shame we only got the 4 goals though. First half we were wasteful. I think today is the first time in my memory that both wingers had great games, this season. Love Fatawu in particular. He's got a big future ahead of him.

Safe in attack. Kamikaze passing in defence.
