The Cameron Jerome of left wingers

Should have gone after this! This summers transfer window was horrific, and the three men at the helm of it are Rudkin, Cooper and Glover. The man himself and two of his hires, says it all. This club will not be a solid premier league side again with him in charge of those kind of decisions

Stayed nicely in the game, just not good enough in both boxes again. This is massively a quality issue. Feel like Ruud is actually doing a good job with what he has.

The alternative is Hamza, I don't blame Ruud

Horrific again from JJ. This seasons Danny Ward, just costs us so many points. Right back has to be number 1 priority this window

Can we say Ayew has actually been a decent signing yet?

Winks and Soumare dragged elsewhere, BEK doesn't recognise it well enough for me. Biggest error is from Vestegaard though, who will always let us down defensively.

Ayew over Buonanotte hasn't gone down well

Same people who say "keep politics out of football" when players take the knee?

His little cameos under Ruud imply he sees a future for him, obviously doesn't feel he's ready yet though. If he goes out, it's on loan because we've bought one or two in.

Was he? Maybe I'm missing something but as per with Hamza at full back, he was nowhere near their winger for the 2nd goal.

If JJ isn't fit, I'm really not a fan of Hamza at right back, could BDCR play there? Remember him at least playing wing back for fulham

2 centre backs and a full back. Try and get rid of Hamza and Faes.

Step up would be huge to PL. Good to actually see a loan move go well for someone though. Could see him in the squad next year if we went down.

BEK (Largely down to opportunity) Soumare Vardy

Because Alves will be viewed as a luxury player at this point, and will need to immediately prove he can make a difference. As opposed to someone like McAteer who will always get called upon in certain scenarios due to his work rate. It's no criticism and it's nothing to do with him being an academy product. More the type of player.

Imagine a fully fit Ricky in this side

Got to imagine he starts against QPR in the cup, and he massively needs to take that chance.

Got to take confidence from yesterday's performance, Villa are an odd one this season. Big underdogs for sure but we have a chance. Okoli for Vestegaard would be my change

If we had upgrades on Vesty, JJ and Mavididi we would really look like a premier league side

I don't hate this, for below £5m it's a decent option that could even lead the door open for another CB.

RB, CB, DM

Was expecting far worse - which is a pretty damning sign of how poor our squad is. Can't massively fault effort but we are just nowhere near their level

Top finish that, I don't think Kristiansen does too much wrong, it's a mental position to score from and make it look so easy

Stolarczyk has handled himself really well tonight - defence still way too unprotected by the midfield, which is a shame as its awful. Vestegaard nowhere near Premier league standard
