Thought he made a mistake not playing Rondon from the off on Wednesday. We needed that focal point, plus Richarlison is simply better as a wide forward.

It's easy in hindsight. We would all have been kicking off if Rondon was in the starting 11 before kickoff.

I think we just need to accept we aren't good enough, regardless of who starts. I still believe our problems stem back to Martinez, when we started flooding the squad with players from clubs who had been relegated or were in and around the drop zone. It continued with koeman, Silva and benitez.
 
Gray needs the free role he was given earlier in the season under Benitez. He's proved he's good enough to do it. Don't play him as a winger. Give him more responsibility. He was thriving in that role under a manager that knew what he was doing. Listening to the calls for Rondon to play now has had me chuckling.

All I've seen since FL has been here is lump it forward. Is he Sam Allardyce 30 years younger? I've never been more disillusioned with the quality of the football. Buys players and doesn't play them. You can make the argument for full on defense with no attempt to attack as we did against ManUtd but why dress it up as more than it is?

We've been riding our luck for weeks, 2pens against Burnley. Riding our luck against a knackered Leicester who battered us. Luck will soon run out. What's the plan then?

If we are in the bottom 3 on Sunday. Franko needs to go, pronto

Gueye and Pickford worked from relegated sides, I think the nain problem if we go far back as Roberto is his replacement wasn't interested and the DOF didn't work.

…it was largely this group that was comfortably good enough last season. Full internationals in all areas of the pitch.

The appointment of Benitez has turned us sour. He pitted players against players, training ground staff against training ground staff, board members against board members and fans against fans. The whole club became divisive, soured and turned sick by one man, it’s why we’re going down.

Suicidal from Moshiri.

Spot on mate, and those of us who raised voice against the most ludicrous of appointments were call ludites by the cardinals and deep footy thinkers. One of the most hideously overrated men in football is fatso

I agree we have to accept were not good enough regardless of who we start, but to drop Rondon after he scored twice in a 2 0 cup win, was crazy, it doesn't matter who they were against, scoring breeds confidence

Eggs mate, I think I've asked for more details before, but it would be interesting to know who fell our with who and why (I.e. what was the sticking point Benitez facilitated).

…I can’t say too much, suffice to say there has been public comment from a player, a member of staff and a Board member regarding the atmosphere of conflict Benitez introduced.

Id also like to add he sucked every bit of creativity out of the team. Digne, Jamo - Gylfi wasn't on him but how he could do the other two with prior Gylfi knowledge was criminal and look where we are we cant score goals because we cant create goals.

And when we do create chances our world class PSG and Arsenal-bound forwards usually spoon them wide when it’s easier to score.
