Oh, he is entitled to an opinion. It's just that on this matter it is wholly fair to refuse to take it seriously.

That was not obvious at 0-2. Neither is it obvious that this contradicts anything I have said.

I've said very little about the difference between the two players.

Why don't you make any points that support your argument? Nobody denies that teams have come back from being behind, often late on, and won. Quite clear to me, and presumably many others, that we were not going to turn this one around.

Titter. I don't know how your distant view has been over the last decade but from up close you would have found that very many outcomes have been obvious at 70 minutes. Can't believe you are greeting about fans leaving early when you were not even there.

Nothing snide about it. I admit I really don't know why you would be baffled given the fact that he is slow and that he needs to manage an injury.

Why are you so sure about that? There was a glaringly obvious reason why Helander may have been dropped. Nobody should be baffled by this.

Yeah, but Helander is very slow. Are you still baffled by the decision?

Explain why you think 433 causes us to be forced out wide. Explain why your preferred alternative is not vulnerable in the same way.

The Malmo forwards are fast. I might have mentioned this before but Helander is very slow.

I was inclined to leave early. The outcome was obvious at 70 minutes. As it happened I ended up staying until the end. Did you stay in the stadium until the end?

It's not the worst way to be knocked out. It is very bad though.

Explain the shortcomings of 433. Then explain what problems your preferred alternative would solve.

Quite. Last season we saw some great passing and movement to break down defences. Where has it gone?

We had two priorities at the start of the season. Win the league and progress as far as possible in Europe. The priorities have not changed. You're right about the importance of Kamara. Sadly he will still be suspended in our Europa League qualifiers. The chain of events that led to his suspension might prove to be very costly indeed.

Tell us which tactic he got wrong?

I'm obviously pretty stoked for you and your supreme vindication. Hopefully admin can pass a hat round for you.

The first half was good. The team were up for the challenge and competed throughout. The second half was pathetic. To capitulate to 10 men like that is hard to believe. Kent, Barišić and Tavernier were all particularly poor tonight. If these players think that they can coast after winning a single trophy then they are sorely mistaken.

I often wonder if the length of comments, in here, is in inverse proportion to the substance.

Quite. Some need to get priorities straight.

I think you are wrong about the first point and I can't make any sense of the second point.

I think that would be a fun experiment.

Does this mean that you think the midfield is alright as it is?

Zungu is gone. Lundstram and Ofoborh are in. There are question marks over both new arrivals. The transfer window is still open. Should we add another, try to bring Kelly in or trust what we have?
