But apparently if you think Eddie should start over Bamford then you know NOTHING about football

i probably know as much as you

Lol good on ya mate

No chance you guys will get promoted if you keep playing Bamford up front. Guy literally has costs you minimum 6-9 points already this season with his faking chit finishing.

I think we all agree PB needs to start scoring. However is Eddie the man to play up front on his own? Only Bielsa knows the answer to that. If he thinks he isn’t up to it then why start him when he’s more likely to be affective as a sub as teams tire?

If I was Bielsa I would base it on what I see in training and with Saturday being a derby I might just stick with PB. His call though. He sees much more of the players than we do.

Problem I see is we start with Eddie, he doesn’t score and we are then left with PB as the sub to get us out of a hole.

Glad I’m an armchair manager

I would drop Harrison and play Roberts

Harrison had a decent first half and a great assist on Saturday. You could be right though. I think Roberts right and Costa left might work. I’d like to see Roberts at number 10 though.

Agree

Simply not good enough

And If you think Roberts is the answer, you really are deluded

Forshaw and Pablo in for Alioski and Costa

Btw Berardi (again) gave that goal away. Sometimes he loses the plot – he's just not up to standard.

Many strikers are almost invisible for the most part of a game, and then just pops up, and gets a goal or two.

I'd rather take that, than some midfielder, playing as striker (yes Bamford) who waste chance after chance

Nketiah is lightning quick compared to slow mo Bamford and would have buried at least two of the glaring chances Bamford missed. Alioski was shocking and rather than blame Berardi for their goal I believe it was Alioski going walkabout up the pitch and losing the ball
that allowed them to break exposing Berardi. It was an easy goal for them to score in the end.

I like Alioski but shouldn't be anywhere near first choice for the team

Agree. Maybe time for Douglas to replace him and Alioski to cover as sub for either Harrison or Douglas.

Forshaw is certainly missed as are Cooper and Pablo

You can't take Pablo, Coops and Forshaw out, and not weaken the team. Having said that, that wasn't where the problem was tonight.
