The fact that Waghorn has missed 2 pens this season tells you something.

Regulation save for Johnstone. If he guesses the right way, you would expect a £5M keeper to save it. Very close to him, and no real power. Bang Average save, from a Bang Average keeper.

Fuck me. 

Anything to justify your moronic comments after his debut eh? Who needs rivals with fans like you.

I thought KKC was joking!  It was a good penalty, right in the corner and a brilliant save.

We don't defend well enough for the lack of goals we score.

It needs time to click, there is nothing obviously wrong, but confidence us so important, if we start losing games it  could be a hard season. Hopefully we can keep scraping wins and draws while we settle in the new team.

Only obvious thing wrong, is that we never look like we can score!

True, but that is what comes with fluidity given by players comfortably with each other. We rarely looked amazing last season going forward as a team, just had JRod, Gayle, Barnes and Phillips all on form at various times to do it themselves.

Don't get me wrong, our build up work is far superior to last year, but I cannot see where or who the goals will come from.

As Derek said the other day, great foreplay, no penetration.

Bilic can, so don't worry.
