I failed to notice any difference from Jan's team to Wagner's team. Same old same old as far as I could see.
Defence to a man were shocking.
Forwards shocking.
Midfield shocking apart from Mooy. Mooy really did make a difference when he came on. Added a bit of bite and creativity.

Everton were pretty sh1te also.

If we can keep Mooy next season, and replace half the rest of the team, we stand a chance. Otherwise we might be in a relegation battle.

Just seen the replay of the penalty we didn't get in injury time. It's yet another appalling mistake by another dreadful referee. Kongolo is having his shirt pulled off his back. Not just a tug, a proper long pull. And the ref gives them a free kick. For what?
Incredible!

Yes it was the same as Wagner's team. Jan's only had a week. Give him a chance!

I thought mounie was embarrassing yesterday. Looked like he had never played football, let alone as a striker. Heard nice were after him, they wont be after that performance.

I did see some differences at times. Mainly jan always telling them to play the diagonal ball and split the defence, I think one of our severe problems is the lack of movement and thats why we probably looked like a wagner team, the players just pass and stop, there was a couple of times when we did move and it caused a few problems, then they stop.

When we go down, I disagree, we wont be in a relegation battle again, but we wont be in a promotion chase either, not unless we clear out and bring some new players in. Atm we look like a side that would probably finish about 12th in the champ.

I know this bit should be in the transfer thread, but, apparently we've enquired over tom lawrence from derby and were in advanced negotiations with betis over rhyad boudebouz. If I was in charge of transfers (which lets be fair, we wouldn't have fucked up 3 windows) I'd be gunning for che adams at brum, I would have liked someone like nelson olivera or that ilk who's a better allround footballer than mounie and lolo. I even said yesterday that with the trouble Wednesday are in jordan rhodes would probably be available for 2mil maximum. I've always been a fan of a player currently plying his trade in league two called chuks aneke, always looked to have that extra bit of something

Jan gets every chance, some of the players have had more than enough chances though.

Rather have Benik Afobe tbh than Rhodes. Apparently available from Stoke, who paid up the loan from Wolves who originally paid £10m to Bornmuff. Then he stayed on the Cross Country train from Bornmuff to Manchester and got off at Stoke, who offered £12m to Wolves. Due to some technicality which I cba to look up but likely meant Stoke couldn't get him direct from Bornmuff, he went on a loan with a view to a permanent transfer. Just checked, looks like that was concluded early Jan but t'new gaffer don't like him for some reason. Strange when you've just coughed up the residue on the £12m but that's the way the oatcakes crumble.

Didn't see much diff last night either. Huffed and puffed and barely had a shot on target again. You'd expect a Prima Donna League goalie to save the 2 that were.

Jan says in his presser today that he wasn't happy with how we played in the last ten minutes. Not how he wanted it to be.
