Surely Cifuentes can see by now that this formation doesn't work?

We just have fvck all going for us don't we. I don't mean in terms of luck, but just everything seems so depressing about us right now.

Yes.

Looked like handball that.

Ricardo pushes up too high. Okoli dragged out of position. Soumare tries to intercept bit takes it away from Vestergaard who could have easily cleared it. Totally brainless.

Incredibly infuriating watching us.

We are disgusting. Soumare does not need to go for that. Vestergaard had it covered.

Soumare not Okoli.

Oh FFS

Shite in the final third. Blackburn gifting the ball to us but we just don't have the quality to take advantage.

Kristiansen is so bad Runs like a headless chicken with the ball.

Gotta keep the high press up. Blackburn defence don't like it.

Why does the commentator have to say we've not conceded from a set piece yet this season

So were Wrexham and Portsmouth but we messed that up

The only thing I can think of as to why he's touched it is that it's a training ground routine for him to get flick ons. But he's lacked the awareness there hasn't he.

Can't believe we actually scored from a corner but our own stupidity rules it out

Stephy didn't need to touch it.

Ffs! Vestergaard header going in and Mavididi touches it in but he's well off.

Great block from their player to be fair.

Brilliant move.

Then runs into players and breaks down a move...

Looked like he had a late night...

Can anyone imagine what it feels like to have a squad play a decent 90 mins all in one go

Weakest bench we've seen in a long time. I dread the line ups around Xmas time

It seems like Cifuentes has fallen into the trap RVN fell into. Big up the youth team and youth prospects, but the form on the pitch is so bad that it now means he can't rely on them or give them a run out because of their inexperience. He probably deems it too risky. In actual fact, it probably works the other way? Less pressure on them, expose them to challenging circumstances in what is already a difficult league to compete in, and then see how they respond. There's probably less to lose? We'd all love him to start Aluko and Nelson but I think the realist in all of us knows that it won't happen. He'll stick with Faes, he'll bring in Soumare, he'll persist with Daka and Ayew. He'll give them another chance to prove themselves to him. Same old rinse and repeat patterns emerging with Cifuentes both on and off the pitch.
