John Bexley @JohnBexley: You can sort of forgive a bit of Kirchhoff rustiness. But I didn't think he looked vaguely interested.
Chris Wiley @ChrisWiley1991: Absolute headless chicken! No confidence or coordination
christinesmith @cs10mackem: On a bright note he can't get worse! Can he ?

Anth @1973anth03: Mirror image of the Arsenal match this, looking decent at 1-1 and big Sam gets his subs wrong and it's 3-1.
Fezz @FezzaSAFC: Billy Jones takes so long to take throw ins it's like he's buffering #SAFC
Michael Potts @potts93: Watch Jack Rodwell. Just watch him for a minute or so, nobody else. We paid £10 million for that man. 10. Million. Pounds.
