I thought we played well today, could have gone in two nil up at half time, and when they equalised we came out and dominated them, then it went away, it could easily have been different, we are not a bad side, the loss of cabaye and RLC has hurt us plus injuries to Benteke and Connor, and it seems they won't be shelling out big money for a striker in Jan either. Just out of interest, what colour is the sky on your planet?! We can’t spend the season being ‘unlucky’. The reality is we are losing to the also rans. We can’t rely on injury prone players. We need to ditch the dregs and buy one or two players who will dig in and produce the goods. Much easier said than done, but whoever replaces Roy needs to recruit players who are up for the relegation battle and give the prima donnas the elbow. Enough’s enough.

Two tactical changes made today to change the game. Luncheon and Ayew. Absolutely awful decision- we should cancel ayew loan with immediate effect. Waste of space. And for f*** sake put zaha on the wing. Frustrating that we play so narrow Was Luncheon hungry for success? Or was he lacking im appetite?

I am certainly not aware his job is under threat.

Did he add some meat to the midfield?? I can vouch for that.

We should have shown more intent after going a goal up but ultimately they had a few players who know where the goal is and we don't. Tomkins silly foul on Carroll was the real turning point in the game but Anderson was given forever to curl his shot in the top corner. Sakho, Kouyate and McArthur were decent but the rest of the team rubbish. We need to play with a centre forward and mix things up a bit but also have squad devoid of attacking nous. Several decent balls into the box today the best being from McArthur but no-one wanting to get on the end. Thought Luka and Meyer were particularly poor.

Why are there various comments stating that Tomkins got booked in the game ? There is no evidence of this in any match report anywhere

No wonder Roy was annoyed in his post match interview as these 2 cards may well have one of his legs over the exit. If we don't get a win in the next 3 games, one is Citeh away then I feel he is a goner. Isn't Roy going at the end of the season anyway?

That was tough today, could have gone in at half time 2-0 up. When I look at our bench there are no options. All the teams around us have spent big to stay in the division, I think WH have spent 140 million and they have depth to their team. It looks highly likely we will be bottom 3 after the Christmas period, so unless we sign some players in January it will be a forgone conclusion that relegation will be our destiny.
