There is actually enough space in this game for Barkley to do really well, almost the perfect game for him.

Ffs shocking defending... like keystone fucking cops. Cleverley needs to come off now. Completely out of his depth in that role.

What the fuck are we doing at the back.

I like to see a bit of a niggle like that. You get it all the time in rugby and in Sunday League. It serves Coleman right for being a dick in possession.

I feel sorry for Rom and Mirallas. Only fed scraps so far but they are having a go at winning and chasing what they can. They are almost in no man's land though, especially Mirallas. Having Bolasie misplacing the most basic of passes doesn't help.

Ffs Stekelenberg.. what was that. Liability.

Bolasie, Mirallas and Lukaku can all take players on. Instead of dribbling though we need to pass and move more.

Does anyone else think Stek is deliberately time wasting?

Brilliant challenge there from Mori!

Why are we playing so many long fucking balls. There is room for forward balls into feet but Everytime it's waist height or above!

Haha good ole Beeb!

I thought it was Mori but there has a been a couple of times already today that I have mixed them up.

Not the position to give away a free kick!

Much better play on the counter, Bolasie who has generally been shocking, did really well skinning Darmian and putting in a wicked cross.

That sums us up. Mori heading a shot on goal backwards and Cleverley skying the volley.

That is a fucking awful challenge. Should be off!

We are reverting to type now. Defending well but no control in attack. Wasteful long balls, mainly directionless.

That was our first warning... started with Gueye getting the wrong side of his man.

It's almost a 442 though with Cleverly left Bolasie right and Mirallas off Rom.

Much our best start for a few weeks.

He looks terrible. Mignolet is much better.

Never said that fella, you brought up goals with Costa. Out of interest, if Rom and Costa swapped teams do you think they would be averaging those same stats for the different club?

I'd expect to see Barry behind Gana and Cleverley with the latter two playing a Bix to box role. Both will bring Hugh energy and Cleverley is more creative than McCarthy so I expect that is why he is in. I like the look of the team, it's a surprise but it looks aggressive, especially with Mori at the back and Mirallas in. Let's wait and see what happens! COYB

Only watched the 2nd half but I barely heard Origi 's name. At times he seems unplayable and then others he goes completely missing... sounds like another Belgian!

Read up mate, I was joking with Aiden.
