i thought llalana was meant to be a good player. im like WTF. ive seen every one of his attempts this season and every one is hoofed in the air. he would be a great bloke to play as a rugby penalty taker - he'd score every one.
75% possession. Nearly 30 shots on goal versus their 2.
Come on, even if you hate Potter. Are you honestly saying they deserved to win that?
Lallana should hang his head in shame. Should have buried 2 sitters and we’d have won comfortably.

If the players are as demoralised as me with that performance we are going down. I had a feeling of impending doom as soon as they scored their first. I am as gutted with that as the play off semi final. We always come up short when it really matters against Palace. Week ruined

FFS I'm not going to pin that on White.
He hoofed it badly, but there's plenty of opportunity to prevent the opportunity from that point to the cross coming in.
Abject defending.
Lallana's 3 misses were worse by my reckoning.
Today was about bad luck and shit finishing.

Best player on the pitch by MILES. I wonder if he can play DM if we sell Biss.

I have been following this club for too long, that injury time winner came as absolutely no surprise to me
Have to say Lallana is the most useless allegedly quality finisher we have ever signed. He should be playing rugby. A complete waste of a wage
It's a bit strange that 2 of the highest earners (Wellbeck and Lallana) don't seem to start many games, even when fit (which admittedly is not often). Bizarre signings.

Exactly how I feel. Our regular failure to win games we control coupled with the utterly shit atmosphere is too much now. It's gone beyond a joke and is just no fun when we need some uplifting stuff to get us through.

A whole squad of non scoring players. Great!
The criticism of Ben White is ridiculous. Yes he made a mistake but he has been great all season. We are not in a relegation fight because of him. There are plenty of others that have been poor for most of the season and Im including the manager in that as well.
Maybe rename it “possession ball” and remove the goals altogether?

And they beat us without zaha to make it worse
I think you're probably right but it's not just just strikers, our complete inability to play a good final.ball is a major issue.

The greatest team that cannot score goals. At least it might be easier in the championship

That's what I don't understand. To be fair, apart from the ending, that was an enjoyable 2nd half, with goalmouth scrambles and decent attacking but surely there were better options than Ali J.
