In my opinion. I thought playing Allen and Whelan was the mistake. Imbula looked totally ineffective in the advanced roll
After today it HAS to be Allen playing in the holding midfield role. Imbula in his normal position and Bojan in the advanced role
From what we've seen of Imbula. He loves to get the ball from deep and drive forward. Usually skinning half of the opposition and setting up attacks.
Today Hughes decided to be loyal to Whelan and see if Imbula could play that attacking role rather than Bojan . It went monumentally wrong as Imbula live on tele looked no better than Dave fucking Brammer. He was wank. End of. He got subbed which was no surprise but I thought why not take off Whelan. But Imbula back in his normal position and throw Charlie Adam on!?
But we all know Imbula is easily our most talented player and needs to be back in the middle
Sorry Whelan but as much as I like your tenacity and leadership. It's time for Allen to shine and Hughes has to recognise it.
Mini rant over. We've got a superbly talented team and I hate moaning about them as i know it doesn't do anyone any good but I just wish Hughes would find his best team and stick with it.
One last thing. What the fuck has happened to Eric Pieters. Did he sign a new contract on a promise to be fucking shit every week?

It maybe LMH will have to adopt a more ruthless streak but not just yet as we should see what the transfer deadline brings?

We can't take away the steel of the side. But Whelan is going to have to be backup now. And Walters will do a job but he won't pull up many trees at this level now.
Let's hope next weekend we start the game properly and get at Everton rather than waiting to go a goal down before we decide to play

I think we should be looking at a signing some players from the championship. No guarantees they could make the grade I know but will surely be eager to prove themselves in the PL. Wouldn't mind us going for Assombalonga or Taylor from Leeds. Dunk seems a solid centre half but I think he'd command a hefty transfer few

They were just a much better team and if we had spent the money they had this season I would have expected a reverse scoreline , you can't race a mini against a Ferrari Tell that to Leicester.

Interesting comment about bleak outlook if we lose at Everton I'd fully expect us to lose the next three and set least one heavily

He was released by Porto for exactly those reasons. Maybe, Allen can replace Whelan - Imbula definitely cannot. And NO it was not a blessing in disguise because the problems were obvious to everyone before the season started let alone after today's game.

To suggest he got released from Porto for it is laughable He obviously fell out of favour but they spunked a load of money on him as they saw what he did in France He's a class act. Yes he's not the best at winning the ball back but he's a powerful man mountain who takes on players for fun and drives the team forward. He needs Allen next to him. I just know it'll be a fantastic combination
