Krafth starting at CB

Season is done, why not give M Longstaff and Watts a couple of games.

Absolute s*** playing Krafth at CB again.

Kieron Dyer looks like the front part of his hair is painted on

If we had a proper back 4 I'd go for at least a point. Alas tis not to be so I see us getting nowt.

A back 5 with 1 centre half is interesting. Surely Watts is a better option than Rose if that's what we're doing?

I thoroughly dislike Maupay

Playing okay, though in fairness with that front 3 plus Manquillo and Ritchie we should be able to move it around pretty well.

Bentaleb looks so off the pace.

To be honest we haven't looked particularly inspired so far. Looks a lot like they don't care about the outcome because it doesn't matter any more.

I like how we're camped in our own half even though Brighton are passing the ball in their own half

All things considered I think we’ve been okay.

No idea why we're playing him

Almost another needless pen conceded there.

This. An horrendous player.

Is Ritchie looking for an early holiday or something?

Speedo · Post by **Speedo** » Mon Jul 20, 2020 5:31 pm

Ritchie's looking ropey today as well. Nearly given away one pen and that yellow card could've been worse in my book... Late and hard.

3 yellow cards in the match so far.

No other option, Longstaff is far too attacking to play in a midfield two with Shelvey.
