Etebo is literally abysmal. He has overtaken Clucas as the player least likely to do anything resembling football. Don’t think he’s that bad, his final ball is frequently poor but at least he tries to drive forward

We have no presence in midfield.
Just three vanilla midgets who excel at absolutely nothing.

I hate to say it but I was praying we purchased Gayle pre season yet we went and come up short again. We chased the wrong striker hence Gayles 16th goal this season. Fucking bollocks, Newcastle would only let Gayle go to wba,because they wanted rondon in exchange.we were in for him but had no chance.but hey,don't let your agenda slant the truth!!! Fair enough, I do recall the Gayle saga now and stand wrong on this occasion!

We have no presence in midfield. Just three vanilla midgets who excel at absolutely nothing. Been saying for almost 2 years this is by far our biggest issue. No one useful in the midfield.

What was Butland doing, allowing a free head inside the six yard box - basic stuff?
Defensively poor, midfield a shambles. Get Ince off (he was anonymous), get McLean off (he’s not a striker) and bring on Bojan and Afobe.

Etebo - Runs, can’t shoot. Allen - Runs, can’t shoot or pass Woods - Can sometimes pass, doesn’t run. Utter piss.

Seen reds given for the WBA challenge early in the game, and a clear handball should have meant their goalkeeper making his first save of the game.
I’m not sure about this diamond formation and the choices in those positions (Clucas, Ince, McClean) but I guess we’ve got no choice but to trust the manage. Long balls are hopeless too.

Why the fuck don’t we play a forward upfront instead of McClean? I’m I missing something in this masterpiece diamond formation?
McClean has the beautiful ability to be nowhere near Vokes or the knock ons🤨

We have no presence in midfield. Just three vanilla midgets who excel at absolutely nothing. So all those experts commentating at the World Cup got it wrong did they when they kept raving about etobo? What nj has to do is get the best out of him.comments on here tonight are pathetic I am just glad I won’t ever have to sit next to you at a match.

Trouble is, because the manager knows we're shit atvthr back, we can't attack in numbers because if we lose possession it's a goal. But by not attacking in numbers we've got no options going forward so end up going backwards.

Do we score goals in training one wonders? This shower haven't got a clue! Blatant penalty though! Then again, who would take one if we got one? Soul destroying!

Why do these stupid managers keep our ONLY creative player out of the team? Just crazy.

Observations
Butland - bang average command of his area. Moans a lot though. Edwards - struggling Clucas - not great Batth - decent Indi - casual Allen - try’s but ineffective Etebo - see Allen. Should be nowhere near set pieces Woods - innefective Ince - hiding McClean - completely innefective Vokes - no service but looks good
Thought that the goal was offside as Gayle was offside from the original ball Livermore should have been sent off Defo pen for handball

Etebo is literally abysmal. He has overtaken Clucas as the player least likely to do anything resembling football. Good work-rate, get's forward well but doesn't seem to have a creative bone in his body. I don’t think he has been that bad. Ince is the weakness in MF, can’t remember him even being on the ball. At one point Allen moved into his position, to see if could make something happen - might as well be playing with 10 men.

Gayle was offside and in the centre of the area when the free kick was taken
In line of sight of Butland and same passage of play
Poor defending anyway

On a positive note, at least Vokes and Batth look good. The Messiah at least made better signings than GR.

I’m not sure about this diamond formation Problem is neither is Jones. He has absolutely no idea that the diamond won't work with these players and he cannot grasp that all the changes just confuses everyone and deprives them of what little confidence they have left.
