[The Guvnor]

For me has to be Mav and Fat even if Mav hasn’t been on it yet ,gives you the pace that scares defenders!

Good to see Thomas and Faes where they belong. Time for Carranza to step up, big step for him though.

Be nice to see shots hitting the target, crosses not overhit and no individual errors at the back. Okoli needs to hit long if he’s in any doubt.

2-1 city

It was a positive to see so many crosses in the last match but it was depressing that most of them were over over hit. Mixing that up with some square balls if there’s a man free would be good to. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Stephy and Carranza both need a great performance because quite frankly, the pair of them have been utterly useless this season.

[moore_94]

Double up on the wingers

 

Stop Vestergaard progressing the ball and push it towards Okoli, then press him

 

Job done, all it takes against us

[StanSP]

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

 

 

[kiddo]

Just had a look et their team, didn’t know anybody until I got to the bottom of the subs - one Sidnei Tavares.

****ing Soumare again

 

Marti wants sacking, you can't pick that team and think yeah that's the best we got. 

So what would your midfield choice be?

Believe it or not, our last decent 90 min performance was 557 days ago under Maresca in the match against Southampton at home.

[sm1]

Playing JJ, our best CM, as a 10 hasn't worked.  So what does Marti do, move JJ to 10. Expecting another dismal performance but hope they prove me wrong.

Stephy has shown he has it in him, sadly Carranza so far has been very disappointing!

Best of both worlds is a Stephy assist and a Carranza first goal.

[lgfualol]

Thank god no Thomas or Ayew, game might be slightly more enjoyable

[BrilliantFox]

FINALLY THOMAS IS BENCHED

Soumare playing negates it unfortunately

Mavididi needs to have a good game today. People have rightly mentioned Monga struggling recently (when starting) but Stephy has given absolutely nothing for ages. 

Think hes been harshly treated personally so far and is coming back from injury. Expecting too much is part of the reason people are so disappointed in him!

[EastAnglianFox]

 Not given one 90 minute performance yet have we?

 

I guess Birmingham is as close as we got.

 

In 12 games, in this league is absolutely disgusting ain’t it.

 

Please just fvcking show us something today I beg

ABS

 

Anyone but Soumare. Bring in Skipp or Bobby. 

[OntarioFox]

Just shows how wank our options really are. Didn't realise Evans and Page were away, because there's absolutely zero excuse for them not at least making the bench once they're both back.

 

The thought of this game probably seeing both of Soumare and Skipp get game time makes me want to vomit.

 

This one's very much on Rudkin today, as he'll be making the final call on whether youth players go elsewhere (so is also the reason Aluko was wasted on the U21s yesterday).

Oh yeah I’d have them both starting but alas Marti isn’t having them yet. 
 

Aluko played last night, and Nelson had a 'mare last time he was picked.

The Okoli slow, short pass to Soumare wjo looks to stand behind players and not move.

I’m sorry but this excuse just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our CBs are all shite and constantly “have mares”

[RumbleFox]

I mean it’s crap. But I can’t see many less crap options. Probably the best we can do. 

[RoboFox]

Our squad is a bit shit, isn’t it?

No no no. Skipp is just bad. At least Soumaré has 1 or 2 moments in the game where he does something. Skipp is pound for pound (£) one of our worst signings. Bobby as a 10 is debatable. 

 

If Monga was fit it would have been good to see Mav as a 10 with Monga out wide and JJ back in the 8
