His body language is well off isn't it. Walked off with his head bowed after being subbed. 

I'd like to see him head held high, applauding the fans enthusiastically. Desperately needs a bit of swagger but he looks like a rabbit in the headlights right now ...

Would rather see him angry. He just looked defeated when he came off. Not the kind of reaction we need.

three defensive subs. Makes for a boring finish and a negative approach.

Shame we haven't scored a third as that would have been a great opportunity to give a few minutes to Washington, Madueke and even Leo Castledine.

 
Absolutely telling and on character for this team that we have not buried the huge amount of big chances, half chances and great positions we have gotten in. A set piece and a huge mistake by Blackburn is what makes this 2-0. Just not that promising, as always.

Jackson’s confidence has slowly waned as the seasons gone on.  Looked to have some bright spots early on, but now he’s looking completely drained.

We just need to give him a run of games, he just needs a bit of luck, as soon as one goal goes in, they'll start flowing. Have faith, eventually Torres Morata Higuain Lukaku Aubameyang Falcao Kezman Jackson will come good.

 
if it's any consolation on the distance we need to travel, things actually look a bit worse at Old Trafford

 
Nice to win, but not exactly a great performance. Against any decent side, I think that would have been a massive struggle. Still switching off defensively at times, still breaking down in attack, still too slow and lack aggression at times.

Cole Palmer will walk player of the year for us if this continues. Genuinely looks like the only real talent in the squad right now. He's the only player that makes me sit up and expect to see something happen.

Job done at least, and we go to the quarters. 

Palmer is a joy to watch. Good to have Badiashile back. And Reece, for however long that lasts lol...

It's true but we have to look up not down. My view remains that this is a talented squad, heaps of upside. Should be doing better than it actually is, but now we have too many defensive midfielders and not enough attackers. For the most part big Les was very impressive tonight and I'd be happy seeing more of him. But then there is also Caicedo and eventually Lavia. Meantime right now there is no alternative to Jackson. Jackson may well come good but clearly very low on confidence and doesn't believe in himself. Its the coach that needs to fix that, somehow.
