This is Brendan Rodgers all over again...

This is worse than Rodgers. We were good under Rodgers, we just lacked that cutting edge in the final third. I'd take Rodgers back in a heart beat compared to this...

Loving the look of Adkins style but why oh why would you choose to use Ledge as the playmaker?

Guthrie clearly can't pass a ball ..

27 minutes gone, ffs.

[ManchesterRoyals]

Aimless long-balls creeping back in from Leigertwood. Brilliant.

Did it ever go away?

[BenSmith91]

Anybody care to share an opinion on Leigertwood? Don't be shy.

This is Brendan Rodgers all over again...

LOL that's funny.

[Sanguine]

I do like this setup. We look very creaky, but I do like it. When did we last have full backs joining the attack like that? Good stuff.

[Royal Monk]

This highlights just how poor we really are , we don't even look like a good championship team

[ManchesterRoyals]

Quality long ball specialist

Right to the opposition

[Sanguine]

Southampton leading Chelsea.

This is Brendan Rodgers all over again...

For the record, this was said with tongue firmly in cheek.

[RFCSPACE]

Not really sure what some people were expecting to happen away to Arsenal...

[GreaterTorontoRoyal]

"Possession in the last 5 minutes: Arsenal 81%"

[10539.4 Miles Away]

This is Brendan Rodgers all over again...

Kindly fcuketh off.

Looks like Adkins has asked Reading to pass the football, not re-invent the game. I'd bring Akpan on, but play Guthrie in that Leigertwood role.

^This * alot

[Archies Left Foot]

I think Ledge would make a reasonable centre back, but his passing ability (lack of it) or his ability to retain possession is simply not good enough for a midfielder, especially in the premier league.

Game after game after game, he gives the ball away and we have conceded far too many goals after he has lost the ball.

The first giveaway was criminal, it looked like he was trying a backwards flick through his legs without even looking if a Reading player was there to receive the ball....

[Royal Ginger]

This is horrible. Can we go back to long balls and wing play please?

[Mike Hunt]

Serious questions here friends. Why is it that when Arsenal have the ball, Reading sit back and let them pass it around. There is always a person free. When Reading have the ball, Arsenal are pressing, putting pressure on the ball, and the players around the ball? Why can't Reading do this?

[akranes]

There goes Guthrie.....
