    eski, but it was down to Noble playing a stupid pass that left Snodgrass with no option. I am the first to defend Noble, but that was a poor decision.

    Don't agree with that at all. Snodgrass is a very talented footballer, the ball was played to his feet, defender was behind him. I'm pretty sure Snodgrass had options. Noble perhaps should have crossed it, but flat out blaming him for the goal when a different player lost possession is absurd.

    I'm not blaming him for the goal at all, but to me, he had the opportunity to get the ball in the box and didn't take it, and we gave the ball away as a result.

    IMO he should have dealt with the situation far better, but dithered and opted for a sideways pass when he had a perfectly good opportunity to hoist it into the box with 6 of our players stood in there.

    Snodgrass could have done better, but there was absolutely no reason to play the ball to him.

    He had a split second Allardyce style to launch it in, he didn't and he gave it to a team mate who then lost it.

    Trouble is our movement off the ball is poor

    Waking ;ok

    Herb - Slimey ;nonono

    Either Bilic has no faith in Byram or is shoe horning Kouyate in at right back because he doesn't want to drop Noble.

    To be honest I don't have much faith in Bryam. I feel he gets caught out of position quite easily and plays so high, that he puts the rest of defense under huge pressure when we lose the ball and the opposition comes at us.

    Then if that is the case he is culpable for signing 2 right backs that are causing us to shoe horn other players in and unbalancing the team.

    No way do we drop Obiang, IMO. Arguably our player of the season and most effective midfielder.

    Moore_than - I agree about Byram. Give him the rest of the season at right back, see how he does; we don't really have anything to lose (or massively gain) this season now anyway. ;ok

    Disagree massively about dropping Obiang, our best midfielder this season and on current form must be played. He's a better all round CM then Nobes and Kouyate; those two fight to take the slot alongside him IMO.

    Your 4;3;3 line up looks a goer for me. Your 4;4;1;1 def no. Lanzini and Kouyate on their own in CM would get eaten alive by top 10 sides.
