    To be fair though, Larry's probably near enough 60 now!

    Bloody hell, in these situations you realise how old you are. I have a feeling like it was last year when i have watched him play.

    But still he would be quick enough( because he can't be slower for sure)

    I won't be convinced Ole is ruthless until Pereira is sold

    I'll agree with that.

    I know he's better than my 92 years old Mother, but only just....

    I suppose he is the ultimate example to every dreaming schoolboy that no matter how poor you are at football, there's always the chance that you too will get a £2 million per year contract as a professional footballer.
     
    Ole has a problem with a limited number of players of suitable quality for the first team. He has to rotate the team with half the replacements unfit for purpose.
     
    Tell me what you want but our kids suck all season. Greenwood had some decent moments but others are playing average at best. Chong, Gomes, Tuanzebe, Garner...

    So what are you saying; -- are we playing like shit or for a draw or both? Also, the squad thing is a load of horse piss, you need to stop using it an excuse. You'd think we were playing teams of the highest echelon. We're not.

    Alkmaar aren't that bad. They're 3 points of Ajax in their league.

    How the hell is it an excuse. It's the truth. You think we'd win premier league games with the team we have out tonight?? Not a chance.

    Actually if we had the players out on the pitch able to press and resist their press the counter attack is on, AZ most certainly aren't playing any form of low block

    We don't? Marital, Andreas, Greenwood, Mata, can't resist pressing now? Or cannot press? That's new to me, that is. We've 3 slow players in the team, that's it. You'd think we have bunch of geriatrics out there.
     
    If it were up to me, I would dock Young's wages every time he tried playing that lobbed pass over the wing.

    Martial is terrible at pressing and Mata can’t press, no

    Our lack of strength in depth showing tonight, Matic, Mata and Pereira have been rubbish in that 1st half.

    Hopefully a better 2nd.

    Pereira has been nowhere near as bad as some of the others.


    Tuanzebe in particular, this game could be the end of him under Ole. He has been abysmal.

    Ok, you're making a fool of yourself now. You think Mata is some sort of quick pressing player? Just stop would ya

    He's been awful. Giving the ball away in poor areas, playing them onside. He's clearly talented but the clamour to get him into the first team is premature. He cost us 2 points against Arsenal and could easily have cost us today as well.
     
    Haven’t seen Garner put a tackle in, I want him to foul someone and announce himself in that midfield.

    Yes we'd win premier league games with that team. Considering we got a good keeper out there. 80m cb. Club captain. Tuanzebe who Villa wanted to sign, not to mention so of our fans want him ahead of Lindelof. Martial. Mata. Greenwood. What team do you need. Stop making excuses and blame the team. A managers job is to get the best out of the players he's got, and he's clearly not doing it tonight.
     
    What's the situation of this group ? Do AZ need a thing out of this game ?

    He looks like he cant handle the game at this level.
     
    Pereira being awful.

    In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.
     
    Oh look some patterns- sideways and backwards passing patterns

    Martial should have scored that
