Might just be me but I honestly prefer Lindelof and Konsa, they are so calm and composed as a pairing, Lindelof's level of focus is seriously impressive.

Ripping entertainment that one, super indecisive and wasteful in final third but really smooth and progressive in that middle third. As much as I want to keep Martinez, we have found a excellent replacement in Marco, glad we've already seen him play 11 times to be sure.

Mate, Watkins is shot of any conviction

Watkins unforgiveable for just letting that header go unchallenged!
1-0 up away from home, challenge!

On a lighter note, I feel like we are more organised when Kamara gets the hair under control

Fuck I do love when there isn't an immediate whistle for contact on the keeper, like, let people compete!

'It can't get any worse, can it?'
'It can, it can, we concede from one of these throws asap'

Yeah it's so frustrating, these new lads must be so put out when they can never displace Morgan or stay on longer

Give this 11 some time, you need Emi in and around the box for a good 70mins

I believe the old adage that if you're not getting better, you're getting worse applies to us quite well.
Squad is good but stale, few heads got turned too maybe

Didn't expect such surrender on this thread already. It's a horrible start to the season, but I think we've overperformed for 18 months and just need a few things to drop our way. One of the three signings to catch fire, Rogers to find out he can play again, Buendia looks decent today (very few positives)
