Riqui Puig available to loan from Barcelona. Come on Radz

When was the last time scum were below us in the table

Surprised at Wolves selling Jota. But I guess there's only so long these players can take without Champions League football and trophies.

Agent Carlos doing a great job so far

Positive: Clinical with our chances.
Negative: We still look 2/3 games away from our usual match fitness/sharpness, which makes throwing the cup even more stupid.

Weird how Costa was poor when he was on loan, but since his permanent move, he's been class.

Maybe not having fans there helped today. The crowd would have been edgy at 4-3 and perhaps added nerves to the pitch.

KP was poor because he was against both Anguissa and Reed. When we play Roberts at 10, we get no help in midfield. That's why we struggled first half until Pablo came on after the restart.

We may have conceded 7, but 3 were penalties. We won't have 30 penalties against us this season.

I thought Koch played well. People will mention the penalty, but will say nothing about the block from Hector when he had a free header.

Rodrigo played well. But both him and Roberts played 90 on Wednesday. Bielsa prob mad the decision that they both play 45 today. I think Rodrigo gets that 10 next game, with Pablo off the bench If you take off Rodrigo, you bring on Shack or Struijk. We had this issue last season, when Roberts didn'...

We are still not fit yet imo. We'll need another game or two. Which is why I was so annoyed we made 11 changes in midweek.

Bamford
Costa
Klich
Koch
Cooper
Dallas

Heart Attack FC, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Important to get 3 points on the board. After it weren't to 4-3 they never looked like equalizing tbh, we made it hard for ourselves. But 7 goals in 2 games is great going, we are clinical which is important at this level. We struggled as we had...

Positive: Nothing
Negative: Everything

I blame Bielsa, because there was no need to make 11 changes. 2/3 max, yeah. Now we're undercooked for Saturday, Struijk and Koch need more games together. Rodrigo needs to link up with the team. What are we saving players for?

The likes of Bogusz and Davis haven't played proper football since Stoke in the cup over a year ago. How will they get more gametime now?

Definitely.

Well they won't be getting any gametime soon, that's for sure.


Until Bielsa throws away the FA Cup by picking them.

11 changes v Hull at full strength. 4 kids at the back. No creativity through the middle.
