Sidwell and Parker have been very disappointing, Parker looks unfit. Hughes with a poor error and Riise really really should've got an assist.
I would get Bent on for Kasami who showed plenty of industry but not much quality. Later bring on Kacaniklic and possibly Ruiz.

[Northern Cottager]

Oh and Michael Owen. Christ almighty he is one boring man.

[Bassey the warrior]

What do we think about dropping sidwell for bent, dropping Kasami into central midfield?

Today isn't the time for trying Kasami in a new position.

+ 1.

[Fulham1959]

I'll take the draw, now.

we need to take sidwell off and bring boatang on, we need somebody more defensive
loving taarabt atm
bent on soon i hope

[Slaphead in Qatar]

Midfield is non existant. Same against sunderland last week.

Taraabt is playing well. A few loose passes but he is looking our most creative player.

[Bassey the warrior]

God we need a new left back, Riise is slow and always has no final ball. Good defending at times though.

[Lighthouse]

Must remember we are playing three out of our back five that wouldn't be there but for injury.

Said yesterday I would get the old excuses in early.

[DukeTyrion]

Bit of a mixed bag for Riise for sure.

Nice goal line clearance and a couple of nice early tackles, then he plays them onside for the 1st goal by getting behind the centre backs and the free kicks have been average at best.

I can't see us this year winning a game 3-0 or 4-0. We just don't have a killer instinct...

One way or another, I feel like we have to get bent on, we're getting smothered in advanced midfield by sheer numbers, adel and berba haven't the room to do a lot, and even so adel looks our most dangerous attacker.

[AllyWhite]

Amidst of all the "same old poo" comments, I actually think that we're playing a lot better than last week. Particularly impressed with Parker and Taarabt. We're holding possession much better than last week, and actually attacking our opponents for real.

[Big Martin Jol]

We look decent enough going forwards, hopefully we can make the scoreline respectable if nothing else.

I'm just going to close my eyes and let those pour sweetly over me like a warm summer rain.

[KP_FFC]

boatang needs to come on asap
sidwell and parker are too similar and both run around alot leaving our cb's exposed

[grandad]

We need changes now  & not wait till 60 mins & being 4 down

agreed, I'm actually feeling fairly positive despite the score

Same here, they aren't playing badly really from what I can see.
