Why oh why is Rodriguez
Why oh why is Rodriguez anywhere near the starting line up. As for pairing him with JWP is beyond me. What more did Potts have to do?
I would also start Potts
I would also start Potts instead of Rodriguez. Good to see Hermansen getting the nod. Feeling good about today. A good fast start is needed, both to the match and the season. COYI.

Nothing fast about that midfield!
F*cking Rodriguez really
Honestly does he no what he is doing? Irving for me been better choice but nope same old same old...gonna get over run in the middle of the park
FFS Potts has started Potts
FFS Potts has started in every pre season game. He's been the stand out player.
Someone tell me why Rodriguez is anywhere near the squad? Scandalous absolutely scandalous.
This is seriously not good...I am stunned to be honest.
Unless Potter has decided to not give a sh*t anymore
He has decided to stick two fingers up to the board and say i told you our midfield was sh*t and slow now see for yourselves i cannot see why he has picked this side.
He was nearly everyones
He was nearly everyones player of the tournament during pre season and today can't get on the pitch,or did he, when I went for a Jimmy and didn't notice when I came back.
Thing is Alvarez is far
Thing is Alvarez is far better than Rodriguez. I just don't understand it. He will be on instead of Potts. How must the kid be feeling, gutted?

I can't wait to hear what Harry Potter has to say!
We were poor last season but
We were poor last season but at least we posed a threat from corners. How many did we have today? None looked like threatening their goal line.
After watching that shit and Chelski next
I wonder how quick the purse strings will be untied now the thought of there cash cow may be dying...we Lost to Sunderland ffs not 1-0 but 3-0 and who thinks this will not keep happening...the formation kills us Pacman Rodriguez JWP in midfield yeah right lol...manager not backed players unable to play the formation we all new this was going to be the result.
So now the pressures on with all the media piling on Potter being questioned and Sullivan will be smiling thinking well they are not blaming me!
