Worrying how we could not use Benteke in that game.

This should surely mean Sakho comes in as CB against Manure?

Firmino in the middle of the park as play maker.

Or maybe Texeira?

Playing a lone striker at home against WH who openly declared that they'll park it, says it all. In a few weeks, Benteke will be texting Mario, 'I get u bro!'
Come on! Play with proper wingers and Ings with Ben. Things looked much better when Ings came on and that with only 10 men.
Also, wonder what Bilic was chatting with Origi about? How about coming on loan since you're not going to get a game?

We had zero pace in the team. Firmino looks off the pace he really needs to step up. Ibe has pace but has no clue how to use it and is seriously being overhyped he's not sterling or chamberlain. some fickle fans saying he has great potential and has everything but I've never really seen it apart from against below average teams like Malaysia X1! I fear for when we play teams like Swansea, Palace and even Leicster who would be licking there licks against us which is really worrying.

Firstly, playing Benteke on his own with now wingers and only one hot and cold playmaker of note has been a disaster. Benteke is a good player but we just lump it to him aimlessly all game - no nuance at all. We might as well have kept Carroll and Crouch for how we're feeding him.

We need far more creativity in a squad full of rather similar looking central midfielders. Loaning out attacking players when we look so anaemic is going to look really foolish.

BR needs to learn the first rule of management. You drop players that play poorly. Lovren and Skrtel should not start the next game - but they will.

When you need three goals - you don't go 3-4-1 against a team playing one attacker. Then when you do decided to bring on a second striker - you don't take off your only playmaker (firmino) left on the field. After Cout got sent off - we had only 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders in the 9 left. How are you supposed to score goals??? We didn't even create a single chance!!!

We need 2 more signings - minimal - this week. We have got to get a better CB - and we need more creativity in the final third.


Excellent post KP. There are some good players in that squad and this is a managerial issue now not so much playing staff. This lumping it up there bothered me from game one and it really is concerning now. We have enough for 4th spot going by the rest with Sturridge doing a bit part but BR is at fault at present. I doubt he can step up and I'm just tired of taking shots at the guy with what I've seen in 3 years but will see after 10-12.
