No.

We've gone from completely in control to dithering nervous wrecks .

Bielsa has ruined a very good performance!
Not sure he's interested in the cups :duno: maybe just wanted to give certain players a run out

I'd say Cooper for Llorente was probably planned. Probably doesn't want either having played 3 lots of 90 minutes within a week

Hang on, most on here hate Forshaw and would prefer Klich, hate Roberts and would prefer Geldart and who would have expected Cooper to mess up that header (maybe Llorente has a knock)?

Dan James full of pace no f**king end product. What a waste of money. No wonder he never got in the scum team

2 goals in 4 games, 1 a penalty. Those who say we're not in a relegation battle, where are the goals coming from?

The one trick pony has been found out so far this season. Let's see him turn it around hopefully.
Not having the injuries argument either, if you want a small squad you gotta live with it.

Up their with the Rodrigo off for Forshaw when a goal down
He does some of the most absurd substitutions that are just mind boggling. I guess in his own head they make some sort of sense.

Could've saved £25m and kept Pablo, a much better player.

Judging by the look on Llorente’s face, it wasn’t planned.

We were playing well with Roberts, Forshaw & Llorente on, then he makes three swift changes & we are all over the place.

There was no need to make those subs, certainly not three.
