Saito/West Brom 19:56 - Dec 26 with 1861 viewsstainrods_elbow

I like Koki a lot, but that was a really piss-poor showing from him today. For my money, JS should drop him for the West Brom game for Smyth, who you always know what you'll get from.

At half-time, I'd have had Dembele off like a shot, but he did get his finger out to good effect in the 2nd half, and showed some real flashes of heart and quality. Meanwhile, Varane continues to under-deliver - he's like Mikele Leigertwood on Temazepam most of the time!

I'd consider changing it up against WBA and bringing in two or more of Hayden, Field, Poku, and Morgan, but I think we'll be lucky (again) to get a point up there. Maybe JS will do something different this time and get us playing for the first half and phoning it in for the second.

Dembele has a habit of leaving huge gaps and Varanne is the one who has to cover, seems to put him off his step.

Much better second half from him. I honestly thought today we would rotate a bit, was stunned to see the same 11 trott out after half time.

P1ss was boiling.

Good captains goal saved the blushes today. it was still shit.

Changes 10 mins too late again. Cook was awful today as well.

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

He reorganised and the players had a chance to put things right, which they did. Dozell and the left winger had been very effective in the first half but disappeared from the game in the second. Only Chaplin kept his form for as long as he was on the pitch. He said the was about to make a triple sub and then delayed it when we equalised.

Making subs isn't the only way to change things on the pitch.

It was a good point at a tough ground to go to.

Cook is just past it now? What is he, 33?

Agree with some rotation. The two guys who need a break are Burrell and Madsen. I can see alternatives for Burrell, but there's noone to replace Nicholas effectively.

Technology advances, unfortunately humans do not.

I also like Koki, but his pass completion yesterday must have been one of his worse.

Yes, I would like Poku to get a start soon. Thought Cook improved in the second half but hopefully Ronnie signs next week. It feels greedy but we still need another forward - God knows what the real story is regarding Kolli, while Frey looks worse every time he plays.

Shame about Frey. I remember the Luton away game last season where he scored a great goal himself and out muscled 3 defenders to lay on a goal for Madsen. Just age caught up with him I guess.

He's 31, and he's played about 300 professional games! There's something wrong with his engineering. We need to upgrade him urgently.

Frey did ok for us, he just doesn’t fit into the formation we play now.

Regards Saito, been poor recently. Problem is, Chair aside, who is any good on the wide left position? Vale looked uncomfortable over there, Dembele and Smyth don’t like it either, Poku also a no-no.

Unlike LFW we’ve got loads on the right but very few on the left.
