Think you've hit the nail on the head there. For whatever reason we seemed to completely lose belief after the Fulham game. Even in the Cardiff game we started ok but go a goal down and any belief disappeared. Seem to have got our belief back recently and nice to see us coming from behind twice...

Replace Propper with Stephens and I'd be happy with that.

Not for me. I think we'd get torn apart with Propper in the defensive midfield role.

I know he's not the finished article but I think we look so much better with Bissouma in the team alongside Stephens instead of Propper. Earlier in the season when Bissouma played he was playing in Gross' role but I'm not sure that suited him. Having him play instead of Propper (today and...

EVERY team in the Premier League has a defensive midfielder. You can't have the whole midfield attack - especially away to a top 6 side

Stephens is head and shoulders above Kayal as a defensive midfielder. If Kayal was going to play it would be instead of Bissouma (but glad he's not)

Have a look at what happened to Watford at the end of last season - 1 win in 9, barely scoring any goals. Fans wanted the manager out and were complaining about the poor standard of football (sound familiar?) They started the season joint 3rd favourites for relegation. They stuck with he...

Even if he is back fully fit for the start of pre-season I think this is an area we need to look at bringing in a player for. We have 3 players (AJ, March, AK) who are all at their best on the right but only Jose that is a natural left winger.

Not sure we could get many other left backs of his quality that would be happy to be back up each week so pleased we have him signed up.

Many people were very happy with the team before kick off. Clearly the idea was to have pace on the left and creativity on the right with 2 strikers providing an attacking threat. Beckham was slow as anything but I'm pretty sure playing him on the right didn't nullify an attacking threat. Given...

Yes. He regularly played here for Ingolstadt under Hassenhutl (the same manger many on here seem to be calling an attacking genius). I had no problem with him trying something different but it was obvious many would criticise him if it didn't work. He also gets criticism for doing the same thing...

Apologies for quoting my own post but just found out the manager that regularly played Gross as a right midfielder was none other than Ralph Hasenhüttl. He's doing pretty well at Southampton now!!

Didn't say photographing them would sort anything. A lot of the negative impacts on indigenous wildlife is not proved yet and largely anecdotal. The RSPB does not think culling them the right thing to do...

I don't believe in shooting wildlife (except with a camera!)

Good.

Unless you look at it as probable survival and an FA cup semi final at Wembley - because that for me is "good enough". It's clear we have had a shocking run of form but that wasn't a surprise - look at the staying up tracker, we were always predicted to have a bad run. What wasn't predicted was...

I wonder if Ingolstadt sacked their manager then? He played here for half his games in Germany and created more chances than anyone else in the league. Fans had been crying out for 2 up top but there is no natural way to fit Gross in the same team as Murray and Andone. He tried something - it...

Except he very clearly changed his tactics at Christmas?? Didn't work and now seems to be changing back. He also changed tactics from Championship to Premier League. He even changed tactics 3 times during Saturdays game alone! If you're going to criticise him for something at least pick...

Again I don't disagree but 24 of these were before 3rd Jan which kind of backs up my point that the WHOLE season hasn't been bad - just the last 3 months. I just hope the 433/451 experiment is over and we stick to what we do best in 4411.

Very good post
