Thought Bong was superb last night . Would have been my man of the match had Kayal not been s immense.

Not that stupid - they are regularly hunted and shot so have learnt to stay low and run when disturbed rather than fly. Sure a few may get hit by cars but more would be shot if they fly at the first sign of disturbance.

AJ wasn't £22 million. Both Locadia and AJ will have sell on value (even if less than we paid) IF we sell them on. Some foreign players will work, others won't but I'd hate to pay £34m for a player like Wellbeck!! The wages demanded by British players are also insane. Wellbeck probably on 3x...

He is a good player and think he played well on Saturday but he definitely has his flaws and I think these flaws are why some people don't rate him - don't think its anything to do with racism.

Why do they not hold water? Lack of pace, poor crossing and poor at defending set pieces are all issues. The only argument you've given against these being issues is that another player (who cannot get into the team) also has ONE of these weaknesses.

Because crossing is not just down to the wingers. Bruno is rubbish in he air at set pieces but is a far better crosser than Bong (I think he may have actually got the assist for our goal in the game vs Everton you mentioned). We have also replaced Bruno so obviously the focus is not on him at...

I think Bong's lack of pace and poor crossing let's him down. I also don't think he is great in the air defending set pieces. Does this make me racist?

Agree about Bernado - Think it was harsh to drop him when playing most of he Watford game out of position. Disagree about Bong yesterday - he slipped which can happen to anyone - Would have been nice if Propper had done more than dangle a leg to try and stop him.

Made several runs in behind but not found - presumably what Hughton asked him to do (and why we played him rather than Murray). Not his fault if he didn't get the passes. A striker like that is only as good as the service he gets. Ran out of steam in 2nd half but was putting himself about and...

Completely disagree. Was sat in the 3rd tier yesterday and had a good view of the whole pitch. First half we was constantly on the shoulder of the last defender making runs but was not found. There was one occasion when he made a run behind their left back into space but the ball to him was far...

Thought there were lots of positives to be honest - especially for the first hour. I thought we went for them early on and thought we looked to get forward when we could - obviously that was not very often as City had the ball most of he time. When they had the ball we were organized and hard to...

Andone has only been available for 1 game so this has happened precisely once - and on this occasion a good backheel from Locadia set up a counter that could have got a point. Andone will get his chance soon enough.

Happy and pretty much where I thought we would be with exactly the number of points expected. Watford aside I've enjoyed all the games and not been bored at all. Think we will get stronger as long as we don't get any more key injuries.

Different system used that night and the whole team was poor. AJ was much worse than Locadia that night who was stupidly isolated

He was stupidly isolated in that game and AJ was even worse that night. Not sure its fair to judge him on that game.

Not ideal at all but nothing Stephens didn't do on multiple occasions. Also, although he ended up fouling, at least he tracked back and tried to make up for his mistake - not getting the lazy comments from some. Bad day at the office for him for sure but not sure he is as bad as a lot are making...

To be fair to Zaha (can't believe I'm saying that!) the tackle yesterday was over the ball and should have been a red. The Watford tackle on him was also disgusting and has no place in football.

Looked like he might have been unconscious (or on the way) when he fell and then landed head first on the ground - Hopefully concussion and nothing more - the lad deserves some luck.

Fully agree. It should also be noted that we had Andone. Izqueirdo, Dunk and Bruno out injured whereas they had a fully fit squad of 25 to chose from.

Agree he is the least effective but he is also the only specialist left winger. Think Bissouma will start on the bench with the team the same as Man Utd.
