That is what is so frustrating.

We know it's one of the toughest games of the season, yet our manager persists with the most predictable line-up and set of tactics, since Sam Allardyce first told a player to "give it some welly".

If we wanted anything out of this game, we needed to test them out in their weak areas. Show their team some respect by trying to nullify their threats.

But even more basic than that. We needed to iron out a few of our own problems, which were even more obvious. But we did absolutely nothing.

Then we get into the game, we have no talking, no encouragement, no adaptation, NOTHING.

It's embarrassing.
