Yeah I know Mirallas and Deulofeu are so disciplined defensively and would have locked down their threat on our left wouldn't they..

They'd have created some chances and offered some penetration. Instead we were relying on Barkley to create everything. You're a strange one, anytime someone has an opinion that differs from yours you take it as a personal insult.
 
Baines is out for at least 3 months and oviedo is always injured.
Considering browning and galloway are centre backs we need proper cover at left back.
He cannot gamble the next 3/4 months on not having proper cover.
Every other club watchin today will know that a young centre back and kone as helping out will be our weakness
If he did that, we'd then have 5 LBs at the club.

Overkill.
 

We desperately need Yarmolenko, a more direct goal threat from the wings. If we can get that, and possibly a more disciplined possession midfielder, then we should be fine.
 
Would they? Thought Del was terrible when he came on.

He was only one 5 minutes so it's harsh to judge. Why Mirallas didn't come on earlier I don't know. He doesn't track back true but we were 1-0 down and getting desperate, should have just thrown him on and gone balls to the wall. Instead we brought on Naismith who tried but offers nothing.
 
Very poor substitutions.

What's the point of having Naismith on the pitch when you're stuck in your own half? He doesn't have the pace to break, and the manager isn't prepared to use him as an aerial target.

Mirallas is the only player in the squad other than Lukaku with a respectable goal record, and he doesn't get a sniff under this clown.
 

He sadly has the tactical nous of a strangled cat.
One of the most respected managers in the game.

Hard to use tactics against a billion pound team bang in form...especially when you have a tool of a goalie determined to wave the ball into the net for them.

Respected???

1-0 down at home and we have 3 DMs on the pitch.

Respected by morons prolly.

It was 1-0 - well within reach (if that divvy Howard hadn't doubled their lead). You just dont go throwing on the kitchen sink against a team like that capable of hitting hard on the break.
