What is Jelly doing there? Outside of the right boot? Fuck me he looks poor.

Corners from Baines have not been good enough

Can't agree that Jelly has done well. Touch has let him down consistently and not holding the ball up. The header was weak and only looked a decent opportunity because of the deflection. Unless someone is slipping balls in for him to finish he doesn't do enough. We need a striker to offer significantly more to our overall game or to play two up front. For my money we don't need three central midfielders against Cardiff and should have Osman off for Kone. If that doesn't work by 75 minutes, Gerrard on for Mirallas.

Jelavic couldn't score in a month of Sundays. Get Kone on, need more energy up front. Going to need to create way more chances and will probably need to have two up front with Felli in there as well, whip crosses at the lads, need balls in the box here and we have so much possession that we should have no trouble getting it outside and in.

Cardiff are a hit house pub team. Absolutely no ambition to actually get on the ball and do anything. Just happy to sit in their box.

Well that was a stonewall penalty denied. Not going to get beans from the man in black today

How in the sweet fuck did Barkley get a card out of that?

Another awful header from Mirallas.

Ref is an absolute joke

Poor header from Mirallas, really poor

Jelavic a ghost so far. Mirallas not much better.

Sloppy start ...

Disappointed to see Ossie starting, but here's hoping he has a blinder and proves us all wrong. Going to be a really tough fixture. Need to survive the first 20-25 minutes as they're going to come out flying after big win and having rested most of the squad in mid week. Hope Barkley has enough in the tank to dictate from the middle. 2-2

Anichebe had an ankle knock according to Martinez Martinez, who also confirmed that Victor Anichebe's absence last night was due to a minor ankle injury sustained on Monday, said Stevenage deserved credit for their spirited display. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leighton-baines-man-united-link-5800025

Any highlights about?

For 70,000 a week, I don't think so.

Can't really believe Swansea want rid of him. Don't understand how Canas is supposed to be an improvement. In the two Swansea games I've watched this season he's been quite poor, especially with passes over 15 yards. Oh well, hope it comes off, would certainly give us the right kind of options.

How is Anichebe or Gerard not on the pitch. It's been clear from the 5th minute how this was going to play out. WBA came with one plan and we let them execute it. Not impressed by RM today.

Much too late with the third sub. Been no attacking intent. Really disappointed with our play in the final third. How telling that our best chance was a long ball to Felli the one time he got forward?

Should be behind after that. No real threat from us at all, and the crowd might as well be a convention of mimes

Why is Osman still on. Invisible man.

Don't think Heitinga is going to improve us. We need more attacking intent. I'd have a striker, Oviedo or Gerard on and get Felli to really sit. WBA aren't being subtle here, completely parking the bus and we need someone with keys to start the fooker

WBA came for a draw and they're going to get it unless we improve dramatically in the second half. We have all the possession we could ask for but we just don't move the ball quickly enough. Too often we don't have the skill to make the forward pass under pressure and we're forced back, which restarts the whole move and kills any momentum. Right now teams know they can stop us playing by shutting down the passing game and we haven't shown a competent plan B. Think RM might have to compromise his principals a bit and use the more direct route to show we can and to provide the threat in behind. Everything is in front of their D and quite comfortable. Osman just doesn't have what it take to make us tick in this system.

Looked a foul there by Distin
