In any poor run you look for signs of progress and improvement. There aren't any. Cannot see where a win is coming from.

Sounded grim. Given the teams left in, can't see more progress in this.

Nothing about Cooper that is stand out. Big Nige had his trainers, Brendan had the Gucci Belt and chapped lips, Sousa with the jeans, Enzo's baldness. Even Dean Smith has a better haircut. Needs to either go full club shop or Keir Starmer suits.

The current football journalism trend of using the phrases "showing true colours" and "speaks volumes" incorrectly.

That's JJ training with Vestergaard. Choudhury in at right back then.

They played a few games at Loftus Road before moving to this ground, I would reckon they could fit the home games in somewhere.

A depressing end to a very good competition. The ECB got their wish in the end.

West Ham defensively last season were terrible. I don't see Moyes organising us.

Sky need a refresh. Neville is a parody, Drury is a pain with his poetic nonsense and the shouting of player's names whenever 30 yards from goal and the Nev/ Carra double act is tired.

If Rodri had gone on strike none of this would be happening. Makes you think.

He isn't used to winning games, either. 12 in 60 league games now. It must affect confidence and decision making. Those two matches at Saints and Ipswich are huge given our run of matches after that until the FA Cup 3rd round, pretty much. And his away record is awful. I don't think his previous connection is important. His previous and current record is.

About time someone did that to Rodri.

Expecting David Mitchell to appear at the Etihad soon.

Brighton have been dreadful, too.

Dyche has done very well to create an image that his team is full of tough blokes. One of the worst in the League for making the most of minimal contact and appearing soft.

Exactly. He had Ricardo next to him, Dewsbury-Hall and Ndidi just ahead, Mavididi and Fatawu out wide, Vestergaard playing into him. Three of those options have seemingly gone and the wingers are one in, one out at present.

The Mavididi- Fatawu substitution made no sense on any level. It was too late to make a difference, Fatawu on the wrong side, taking off our best player at a crucial stage and leaving Ayew on who wasn't really involved. I don't agree with booing substitutions but totally understood the annoyance with it.

ECB would still charge £60.

I'm sure we'd sing "He's won more than you" to Real Madrid.

Honest in interviews, underwhelming on the pitch. As I expected.

Been a great signing. Settled at this level really well.

Superb stuff. A long contract and binned within six weeks.

Three consecutive home first halves where we gift the opposition comfort as well as the lead. This cannot continue.

Awful first half, better second but still uninspiring. Mavididi great, others underwhelming.

Rio there for the vibes, man.
