Don't think navas has used the bye line once like he normally does, just keeps cutting back inside...
Is the faded rugby league line confusing him?

Maybe the plan is to survive the first half, let them tire themselves out, then bring some creativity on in the second half?

And when he should be running through the middle he shits it and runs off the pitch.
This team are a joke

Yep, looks like we're trying to utilise Fernandinho in the Silva role, with no pace on the wings.
Terrible set-up, sticking the worse possible team/partnerships out there against a team like Huddersfield.

Screaming at navas to beat someone. We've been spoiled by sterling and sane recently I've just become used to our wingers taking on people.

I wouldn't be too sure, Wagner's got their fitness to peak standards as his way is to use the press, as Klopp, and they'll probably go all game.

I honestly think if Sergio can get a goal, he'll get a hat trick against these
Problem the longer it goes on the more frustrated he gets

He's trying - he's having to do most of the creating though, someone like Nacho playing behind him might do the trick.

They'd be a good addition to the PL. Rather watch them as Stoke or Hull

Me too. So disjointed and looking around there's nobody helping out. Probably because the majority are very defensive minded, asked to play an unfamiliar game with no partnerships built.
Poor form from Pep and if we win it will be by luck rather than design.

Because the shit behind him is awful. He's created a few decent opportunities out of fuck all. With silva and brown he'd have bagged a few easily.
Clearly a different level to his team mates.

Well the 1st half made us look like we belong in the championship. Get some of the youth in there who have some desire to make an impact. Criminal for me that Garcia and Nacho aren't getting more time.

Total lack of creativity. Not a surprise looking at our midfield. Crazy considering this is our best chance of silverware. Worries me that Utd have a good chance of ending season with more trophies than us.

I'd be tempted to take either Fern 2 or Delph off, move Fern 1 back, and bring Nacho on as a number ten.

Piss poor. No creativity, the defence has no link to midfield which is why we pass it so much in our own half. Kun looks lost, though to be fair he is feeding off scraps. Not sure what Navas and Nolito bring to the table that Garcia and Diaz wouldn't.
Hope Pep changes things before the match situation changes.
