We’re second to everything because our team is so slow.  We can’t press effectively because we’re so slow. We can’t threaten them because we’re so slow.

and somehow Potter thinks Coufal & Cresswell are the remedy to this.

I'd suggest he doesn't think they're the remedy...more that he doesn't think he has a remedy with what's available.

 

Exactly this. Which I feel many people are unwilling to grasp. 

Mings just fucking caught the ball. Doesn’t matter if he’s hurt. That’s a sending off. 

 

Should have booked Mings for that. Ooh I'm in pain so I'll stop the game by catching the ball

He can't just catch the fucking ball 

Can the commentators stop having a fucking pity party and talking about mings in hushed tones like he’s Bobby fucking Moore?

Fuck me has Mings died or something?

should book the cսnt for deliberate handball.

Coufal needs to be subbed. Walking liability !!

Not good this. The squad deficiencies are so painful. Struggling to understand Coufal at RCB instead of Casey. Is Casey that far from being ready?

Also why not give Guillerme the Summerville role? Lads probably chomping at the bit to get out there and he worked hard forward and back when he came on in the last game. Raw, but he put a shift in for an 18 year old.

Also shame in Sullivan for dithering on Brobbey who could have been out there today if he hadn't been giving it the usual. Prick.

Fucking hell I feel like I’m watching Villa TV the way these two commentators are going on. Minute’s silence for Mings.

I have seen better u12 goal kick routines. Needs massive improvement 

It just feels like they can/will score any time they decide to pick up the tempo.

Kudus is rubbish so far constantly running down blind alleys giving the ball away not a team player.

No running
no movement off the ball
No options to pass rather than slowly go backwards
gutless

Yep, things haven't changed at all

Kudus needs to pass more !!

Surely that was a foul on kudus. Ramsay just bundled him over

Cracks me up how Alvarez looks about 15 years older than he is. 

we've actually settled a bit since that flurry of early chances. Kudus looks dangerous

Been better since going a goal down.
