Decent enough first half with the players we have on the field I suppose. Son looking very dangerous on his wing which is very nice to see. Johnson the beneficiary. Tel is a teenager and it shows. We have no hold up play. I suppose Kulu is supposed to help there but doesn't really help that much.

But we, as always, look like leaking goals. Can't imagine how many CB partnerships we've had this year but it just makes it so difficult when you don't have a settled back 5 - especially when our midfield is scratchy in and out of possession.

An early second half goal for us would be a massive boost. Expect Ipswich to come out fast.

This is our 19th different back 4 and goalkeeper combination this season.
 
Not bad! Look a lot fresher going forward! Struggling to contain Delap! I’d switch grey and danso over at half time. Think some fresh legs in the middle might do some good as well. Maybe madders for Kulu who hasn’t offered much. I’d also consider giving odobert 30mins and run at Godfrey who’s on a yellow.

We should go on to win I’d say
 
The pace and intensity of the premier league seems to be too much for Tel to handle at the moment. Hopefully he can adapt quickly because at the moment the game is just passing him by.

How can people watch this and still back Ange long-term? I get giving him the season just for convenience’s sake but his football is genuine shit. You cannot be so cavalier at this level, you cannot be this naive and achieve anything.

I’m not as angry about it as I was. I want him gone because he’s useless but he will go. It’s just a case of when now.

Whilst he wins matches he will obviously stay, and until we are knocked out of EL/can’t qualify for Europe next year he’s here. We are now realistically safe from being caught by those below us.

It’s Europa or bust now.
 
I dont understand our shape in midfield. Kuku plays as second RW for some reason, so Bentancur and Bergvall have to cover acres of spaces.

Its like 4:4:2, but you dont have 2nd forward, but instead two RW :O
