Something has to change with this stat sharpish. The first and obvious change is dropping Walters. But more can we do? And it has to be a worry surely? Today was just one of those days and I think it was half expected based on previous experience but the scoring (lack of) is a problem of the season so far and has to improve! Who gives a fuck? One game doesn't change shit. We're having a good season. We got kippered today by a dodgy decision. Overall we're doing well and into the last 8 of the cup. Stop being negative!

Doesn't matter a great deal until it puts us on a bad run of results. Very happy with 1-0s, especially away.
Disappointed that the attacking players don't shoot more though. Buying tickets etc.

For Adam? I think that has to be a serious consideration.

Tuesday will be a test of how well we can recover from a disappointing performance and result
It will also be the opportunity for others to play and impress
One thing is for sure, our fans need to play their "12th man role"

For Adam? I think that has to be a serious consideration. Yes, he came on today and was the only player who could carry the ball. Even Arnie had a mare today. Bojan coming off lost us our creative side and ball retention.

Yep we just aren't finding the net. At least we weren't that bad when Crouchy was in the side We were. What would crouch have done differently today that would've changed the result?

Not really being negative to point out a major flaw in our game. We really haven't got it together as unit going forward and something does need to change soon. We've had a bit of luck at the back in some games and that ran out today. The result is there for everyone to see.

Bojan , shaqiri and arnie getting away with far too much inconsistency is my opinion. While we have a big squad there is no pressure for places as Hughes ignores poor performances.
Bottom line is these 3 are 3 of our 4 attacking threats and they are simply not creating enough besides the odd goal here and there.
Seriously lacking movement and penetration

The lack of goals is a concern definitely and we can't keep keeping clean sheets every week so something has to change up front for me.

Putting our best striker into the team could help.
I'm not too worried over all, you win some you lose some, but I can't work out why Mame is sitting on the bench.

Bojan coming off lost us our creative side and ball retention. We need to try something. Because it's all well and good people putting their hand in the side but it is an issue and we need score more. We need the movement up front and we need a midfielder to get involved from deep. It's annoying because Adam should be able to do that but can he get back again? And do it for 90 minutes? It could be worth putting him in there vs Wednesday as a trial run.

We do need a new DM who gets around better and sees a forwards pas but till we get one I'd go with Diouf in for Walters who just didn't look like scoring or a threat at all and bringing Afellay in for Adam.
Afellay gets around quicker and see's the simple forward pass better for me.

Its the same old problem we've had since Hughes took over, when a team wants to put 8 men behind the ball barring a wonder strike from Adam we will not score, we can not break a team down that wants to defend, an open game benefits us so much

My thoughts on Adam are well known. He has his uses but like Walters he shouldn't be starting week in, week out. Good to have in the squad but we need better. He's got to drop Walters soon too? Got to?

I still believe Ireland is the most creative player we have in terms of vision and creating chances for others and he can't get even in the squad.
Sums it up for me.

I think Adam is always worth a start when he's at his fittest like the end of last season. Today though, he was quite laggy after 20 minutes.

It's a problem and a weird one to have with all the creativity in the side.
We look very predictable when we're up against teams who don't come at us.

His best time for us has been playing instead of a number 10. You've either got to play him there and drop Bojan or not play him at all. He's wasted where he is now. And Bojan should be playing ahead of him in the other role on the whole. Good squad option though.

Very well in fact. Better than in both our last two record breaking seasons prior. We're in the last 8 of the cup too. Pass me the noose quick....

It's been a problem for years.
There's no need for knee-jerk reactions based on one game.
As you say, we'll be fine.
Probably even better than the last two record breaking seasons.
