Missing Punch giving away silly fouls or maybe you enjoy seeing him moan with his arms out all the time or is it him getting the ball then strolling around slowly with it. We look much better without him I think he's better against the lesser teams or you bring him on later on but as a starter hell no. No need for a change we looked very good for 30min but as usual wasn't taking chance so fell off and then let the other team control the game. 60-70min I would think of doing a change if things are not getting better

Other than the score line I think we have given the champions a good game. We seemed to be playing deeper in the last 20 and paid for it. Need to hold the ball up better and yes Kelly needs replacing with a quality left back. Not sure who though? Townsend hasn't looked good again in his forward play. Defending okay, but we need him pushing forward and getting in decent crosses/shots. Not happening for him yet today? Perhaps Lee would do better? Another 45 to go, next goal (if there is one) will either get us back into it or finish us? Looking forward to the second half and it hasn't been that bad a performance so far :-) It's not doom and gloom certainly. Tekker's header wasn't far off and we have shown we can create chances. I am disturbed by how ropey we look defensively now and again (generally, we're ok). I predict Kelly off for Fryers, other subs later.

I am worried about this transition a bit now,we keep the ball better yes but we play with no pace and far more narrow than we used to.How many times do you see Wilf attack space behind the oppo full backs or either of our wingers pull crosses back from the byline?It seems retaining possession means we don't look to counter attack at pace because everyone bar Benteke is behind the ball and not looking to stretch the game, offering a short option seems to be preferable.I back AP 100% but he needs to mix it up with the pace we have available out wide.
