I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea what the final score is going to be. But it is highly entertaining.

Webster for us now looks worse than Duffy ever did in a Potter team, and everyone agreed he wasn’t good enough at that time

It's quite funny we've gone from the ultra disciplined RDZ tactics to this

I’m so angry watching this.

Hurzeler’s high line tactic is a fuckin joke but Dunk and Webster’s individual performances are equally a disgrace. Pathetic.

Have to agree. Should be picking tactics based on players ability, not sticking with something not working and players not quick enough or good enough to play it.

While still early days, swapping WBG for Wieffer looks a mistake. WBG offered far more control in MF.

Could genuinely be a career ending performance from Sanchez. What a shame.

Two top class saves to keep them in the game; could genuinely not be career ending - and it won't be. Sorry!

If we want to play this high line, we need to wave goodbye to Dunk, Webster and Igor and buy three fast, powerful central defenders.

Genuinely shocking defending both individually and tactically. It's so easy to get in on goal. Wieffer a passenger so far and Ferdi looks absolutely clueless defensively.

Ferdi against Sancho will be in my nightmares

At the fans' forum before the start of the season, Fab asked fans if they'd prefer to win 5-2 or 1-0. They said 5-2, he said he'd prefer 1-0.

Maybe he should try practicing what he preaches.

Tactics that don’t suit the players we have.
In this league it doesn’t take long for managers to work out how to expose other teams’ weaknesses.
A high line with slow defenders is the definition of insanity. Fabian is going to have to develop another plan.

Webster shoud have been shipped out in the summer. He's not even good for a cup game against a lowere league team.

Who partners Dunk with no Vanhecke or Veltman?

I think 1,000,000 for the home tonkin' by Everton.
Mainly so many expletives.

It's all a rouse. Bloom wanted to reappoint Potter, but because of backlash couldn't, so he went and got Hurzeler, so everyone is begging for Potter within 2 months.

Genius!

No foul for Mitoma being sandwiched. But a penalty for Sancho for the same thing.
