seems a bit millwall

Seemed like an odd time to blood a couple of kids in the back line - completely out of character from the manager

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at the board meeting this week when Lopetegui "won over" the directors. Our future in the hands of an ancient, narcissist midget listening to a man no-one can understand backed up by a woman who thinks it's an episode of a TV show and an over-stretch...

Playing a high line in the opening minutes against Jamie Vardy with two slow centre halfs should be a sackable offence on its own

The scuffle in the Bobby Moore lower at four down took my mind off things for a while. We actually showed a bit of fight on the pitch as well after that but the second pen killed any slim hope of a comeback as did taking summerville off. You cannot play against the top sides with Soucek at the base ...

Our midfield has no fulcrum

AWB was defensively AWOL for most of the game and deserved to be subbed

I'd try coufal right mid in front of AWB. Midfield is totally lacking in energy/passion and at least he'd give it everything and is our best crosser of a ball

The Premier League is clearly too quick for Rodriguez and he can't adapt. Probably a decent player in a slower league but we are ten games in now and it's obvious to most people he's a fish out of water. Our manager seems to have a blind spot with him and trying to convert wan-bissaka into an attack...

Looks like another fully unbiased Panorama report tonight going by the preview on the BBC website. The bloke who led the internal investigation looks straight out of diversity central casting while they've highlighted a few damning quotes from an anonymous former copper. It's all a bit sixth form...

Coufal maybe too slow these days at full back but we miss his crosses/throw ins and he's got a lot more fight/pride than most of them. I'd give him a go right midfield for a bit of bite/effort at least

The usual set of dopey middle class (mainly white women) protesters were waving their BLM banners around outside the Old Bailey yesterday. Be an interesting chat at their next meeting when it turns out their hero was not only a career gangster but also a wife beater

complexion like grandpa from the texas chainsaw massacre

You can’t play quick posession football with a static midfield. How can manager not get that?

we've been here before a lot with strikers rather than managers. we all want the new fella to succeed and you make excuses for a while but you know he's not the answer. it breaks your heart a little bit and you'd give him more time but football is a business and he's the wrong foot in the wrong shoe...

Rodriguez is reminding me of Kovac which isn't a good thing

Hopitegui

Wow - totally schooled there 

Almost seen as much of the Arab sponsor as we have of the fighters. Presume one of his wives won’t be doing the round cards 

Moyes wasn’t the answer to take us forward. And I fear lopetegui isn’t either on evidence so far. I got our beers in just before the end and watched people filing out - it was like a funeral 

If we lose the next two then there’s a big call to make 

Leaving one up at least from a corner at 3-0 down would have been a nice differential from the moyes days

Just saw this - really sad news. Going to have a quick blast of Back in Stride and Joy and Pain before bed dreaming of my soul boy days......
