As soon as I saw Soumare on the team sheet I knew it was over and so did Blackburn.

Can’t wait to see the inevitable game plan of getting it out to the wingers hoping they score a worldie.

The lack of gameplan has been apparent for weeks, we lose this and think he’s on thin ice.

Is this where we wait for a bit of magic again? As there’s no attacking gameplan as usual…

Faes at left back. Thomas won’t be starting for a long time

We spent £15m on Kristiansen and he’s second choice to Luke Thomas the recruitment really has been something else hasn’t it. For all the tactics and morale bla bla bla, VK Daka and Soumare are just rubbish footballers.

I find it baffling that someone within the club thought it would genuinely be a good decision to give Luke Thomas a 4 year deal. He’s absolutely abysmal and we only see him on matchday when it matters, he must be an unreal baller in training.

Yeah this where I am to be honest, he’s got to rotate the squad but don’t necessarily agree with the personnel he’s using. It’s clear to see certain players have checked out, but it’s begs the question if we can see that as fans then why can’t the manager?

All the talk about Carranza but we need to make chances for him instead of relying on magic from our wingers.

I think we’re all looking forward to his contract running out. Another one on mega money with minimal output.

Exactly, he’s relied on the referee to make the right decision… to which he didn’t. He clearly got the ball and I can’t understand how the ref could give a penalty in the position he was in anyway.

Never a penalty, Faes not at fault this time, ref made the wrong call.

We actually look good, just waiting for the standard error to gift them a goal

Marti didn’t cover himself in glory tonight but look at the dross he has to work with…this board surprised the footballing world when they decided not only to sign Vestergaard after we put 9 past his Southampton side but give him a new 3 year deal on top of that, it just sums up the decision making at this club over the last few years. He didn’t play tonight but it was one of the few games we haven’t seen Soumare, who has been absolutely useless for 4 years. The recruitment has been a complete joke and nobody is held accountable.

It seems we don’t actually have a plan of attack, it’s all keep ball and give it to the wingers to improvise. With the quality on the pitch we look clueless on how to actually get into goalscoring positions.

He really needs a performance here for the sake of his career. Been given a lifeline really

It does worry me that Marti and Co do not see what we see, taking James off and leaving Ayew on until the 70th minute is a severe lack of judgement. We know Ayew isn’t a striker, completely agree with the post regarding it coming across as a manager putting his son on every set piece and leaving him on regardless of how crap he is. It’s getting a bit weird. We got away with it, the performance was a shambles.

AYEW IS OFF?!! Who will take our set pieces now marti?

I want to like this manager but the persistence of Ayew is going to get him sacked.

The audacity of Ayew to take the number 9 shirt

Important to remember from a wingers perspective, if you know your striker is **** your going to end up trying to miss him out and go for goal yourself, the longer this game goes on with Ayew up front…the more long range punts we’ll see from Mav and Abdul.

I genuinely don't think we have a game plan attacking wise… this just smells of do what you want lads and hopefully it comes off.

I’d settle for Daka up top at the moment

At least he looks awake this time

Trust our defence to make the goalscorer look like prime Messi, terrible defending. Should have been stopped way before he even had chance to shoot
