Didn't even need to pull a shirt

Bielsa sees Cooper as a No.10 now

A point is good, coming Back from behind twice while doing that even better.
However, we need Llorente fit and Cooper as 4th choice CB from here on out, and another 1st team challenging midfielder in.
Next week’s game against Burnley will show us whether we are a top half team truly or not.

Dallas has energy and works hard, but you need creativity in midfield.

Yep thats basically how i feel, unfortunately atm we have creativity but a poor balance in Rodrigo.

Or, one good immediately followed by shocking In Roberts.

Or we have mr energy but little creativity in Dallas.

We dont have the correct option at the club and that is obvious to everyone not named Orta, Bielsa, Radz and Angus apparantly.

Out the bottom 3 woop

Funnily enough the current bottom 3, Norwich, Burnley and Newcastle could well be there at the end of the season.

Let's hope so

That will do..
Last season maybe created a delusions of grandeur mentality amongst us fans.

We could do with building sharpness and momentum, but Bielsa will change the entire xI v Crewe.

Would anyone else have been pleased if we'd signed Demarai Gray for £1.7m? Steal.

Before anyone decides that Firpo is no good.
I remember Evra and Vidic when they first started at Man United. They looked awful for the first few games. I think it's fair to say that they ended up being very good players.
So give him a chance.

Point well earned in the end, defensively pretty shocking particularly Coops and Struijk. I only wish MB would mix up the subs, and give one of the youngsters a run out.

Most definitely !! Basically got him for nothing.

Perhaps but it may also have created a bit of complacency amongst the board and coaching staff also?

Its clear to see how much crowds are having an impact already, it may be very risky to rest on your laurels based on last season given how different the matches are with fans.

He would have to run the gauntlet of those who look at a players pricetag and complained the club won't invest properly.

Besides, we have our own bargain basement in Coops, Dallas, Klich and Roberts.

Not the same without Llorente next to him.

Agree Pascal looks twice the player alongside Llorente.

Probably, he played Harrison as a striker against Crawley last season, and that went well

[onemoreslogan]

Everyone is piling on Coops but I though Struijk was even worse today. Were it not for Meslier could easily have been 4-2 for Everton.

Firpo will be better once he settles in. The tools are there. We are definitely lacking imagination and ambition in the middle. No one there willing or able to take on a defender.

Llorente can't come back soon enough! Given the way the match played out I'm quite happy with the point. Would hate for the for the crowd to go home empty handed.

Meslierbour MOTM

Saved the blushes of our defenders today

[1964white]

Bamford dragged down in the end.

Should have been reviewed, at the very least.

Delph tackle looked a dangerous one too!

Not this one
