Watching their goal again confirms what I thought initially - it's Pears and Hyam being shit. It's good build up play by them - Carter does his job and tracks his man (who backheels it to Anthony). Brittain does his job and tracks his man, forcing him to put in a cross at pace with his 'wrong foot'. It's Hyam marking air(he only had one attacker to track) and Pears letting a header from 8+ yards out that hits the middle of the goal go in. Criminal.

Two bold changes, but I'd make both at half time. Hedges and Dolan have been shite today.

Replacing him with Cantwell (even a half hearted Cantwell) is a massive upgrade.

Love Gueye rolling around on the floor there to get Hannibal booked. Their CB did it to him so he's returning the favour.

Hyam is a bloody problem.

Has way more about him than Pickering.

They've got 5 subs - that's absolutely changed the game, unfortunately. They absolutely can.

This isn't going to end 11 v 11 if the ref is handing out yellow cards for tackles like that.

Fair play to Beck, had a nervy start but he's giving it back now.

How has Pears got a professional contract?

Disgraceful officiating. Yellow card to Gueye for nothing. Perfectly good goal ruled out. Playing 12.

4th Gueye assist for the season by the way. He's absolutely vital to us - what a player.

Weimann you sexy, sexy bastard.

And going through the back of Tronstad giving away pointless free kicks? Interesting.

They just have better football players than we do. As we've said repeatedly, we needed pace adding to the attack - we didn't really sign any (I've no idea if this Brighton kid is any good) so they can just push up the field with little fear of us getting in behind. Dolan gets worse the more he plays by the way.

What, pushing a LB off the field of play?

Hyam marking nobody, Pears letting a ball go down the middle of the goal. Same as it ever was.

Hyam is such a coward - keeps on playing the ball back to Pears. Take fucking charge, man.

Scott Parker couldn't look more of a twat if he tried.

I don't think Pickering is very good - in fact after Pears he's the next biggest problem for us - but each to their own.

So it's two fold. a) he's a LB and has been signed as one - JRC is not b) I suspect Liverpool would be furious if he's third string LB

It's nowhere near as good as the team they started the transfer window with.

Well he's already got 2...

The only thing I won't agree with is that we've not signed anyone that will be sold for £10m+. The market is clearly absolutely bonkers. If Gueye scores 15 goals this season and continues to be an absolute menace someone would take a punt on him. Cantwell was a £40m player a few years ago. That said, it's incredibly worrying that we've paid an absolute pittance out in transfer fees after banking £40m from sales - tells you all you need to know about the state of the club and the owners' commitment to it.

So no Godo? Fulham are signing Nelson apparently...
