I would love lukaku to get this winner. He needs it!

Strongly agree, first CB for me right now

Martinez is a genius.....

Well well

We've gotten a bit of momentum here, we need to freshen up and give it a go!

Stick hibbo on the wing see that pace!!

What the actual fuck was that...

Osman for Oviedo on 60 please.

Should not be allowed anywhere near the wing!!

It stems from our Central midfield not having control. Eto has done sweet FA but you don't pick on him because it's Eto.... Osman and Gibbo have been off tonight and can't seem to make a pass, we've had little to no possession and had to do alot of defensive work of with McGeady has done tonight, something he's needed to work on and seems (early signs) that he has.

I don't think McGeady has done anything wrong tonight... He's had very little ball and he stood it up well to the back post for Stones's header... He's worked hard, I'd be taking off Atsu before McGeady.

I agree it's not, but realistically, both our starting wingers are out, main creative Attacking CM, McCarthy out, starting RB, Oviedo who is a starter before Atsu, Distan and Kone... That goal was always coming I guess

Given our injuries and quick turn around of games I'm not sure what we can expect... I may be scraping for positives here but our squad 2-3 years ago would have been half the team we have out their now with this many injuries..

Looks terrible.... Aiden is working a lot harder tonight.. Stones is keeping us in this

We are getting killed....

Hasn't started well has he...

I don't want to get it again

My word!!! I had the craziest experience the other month, were I felt awake but I wasn't sure if I was a I couldn't move, like I was pinned to my bed and I could feel a presence, something demonic... I tried to move and could feel my muscles tense and then I felt like I was getting dragged off my bed. I was trying to shout by couldn't and eventually I managed to shout and still to this day I'm not sure if I was awake or asleep, I've asked my family if they heard anything because whatever state I was in, be it asleep or awake I shouted as loud as I could for my brother.... Truly terrifying moment

I like the look of atsu... Let's not forget this is his first crack at such a level and he is rapidly fast. He will get better and looks weaver to learn! On the note of McGeady, he is now our senior winger, time for him to step up.... I know he gets slagged off a lot and deserves a bit of it, but there is a talented, mercurial player in there and he needs to find it fast or we are going to become very one dimensional...

This is a tough one... How hard do we push here. I don't think we should underestimate Krasnodar however I think we should also be looking to leave a few at home.. We are already without Kev if we start to lose others we will struggle hugely. Alcaraz and Distan perhaps? Oviedo and Browning as we need Baines fresh. Gibbo should start with either Besic or dare I say Osman. Eto up top and hopefully Kone has a few minutes in him. We're real thin on wingers now...

This formation for me, however I like the tactic of Naisy central and false 9 with Kevin and Rom advanced wide forwards, let Rom get ontop of either Fullback in the box and creates space for Baines and Coleman... Besic will either have a whole hearted blinder, or send off

Both he and Naismith need to start the derby, were gonna need players with a grit for this one!

Firstly I only caught the first 20 of the game.. Secondly I've read most the post and got the jist that we were utter shit and a few individual errors again cost us dearly. I never like to see us lose. Be it a friendly, capital one cup or even a dead rubber, I just hate it. However I think this game was used to get minutes into some of the lesser run lads hoping to have them upto speed for when Europa/PL/FA Cup games are coming thick and fast... That's the only positive I can look for because we will need them! The third goal for me that Howard is getting Slated on I find hard, ball has come through a crowd of bodies and really the defence should not be letting them get shots away so easily. There's too much slating of players going on for me, they have been poor, they know, we know it and everyone here is entitled to say what they feel and mostly the criticism is due but we need to get behind them before the derby!

3 goals conceded that again were our own fault... Absolute shambles

Osman again caught on the call. When will Martinez learn
