    We resorted to just clipping long balls from half way-ish up the pitch from about 75 minutes onwards. Once he went 4-4-2 we just hoofed, not that we played that much better 4-3-3 but it was still better. Aye that's another knock against him tbf. Resorted to 4-4-2. And brought Tiote on. Which probably invites hoofballs as colo/mym would rather send it over Tiote's head than pass to his feet where he'll spin into an opposition player.

    Not sure how much he got entirely wrong here today, really. Maybe not taking off Cisse sooner? We weren't hoofing it that much tbh. Play was along the deck for the most part. Defending was a shambles but how much of that do you want to put down to him and how much do you want to say it was botched assignments or panic by the players? He's not supposed to be able to make them perfect. Preparation for defending set pieces was atrocious. And we didn't adjust after the half.
  4. was, along with remy, one of the few good things this afternoon.
  5. Wouldn't actually mind Tiote in this game based on the first half. There's massive space constantly between our defense and midfield. Rivaled only by the massive space between Tiote's left and right ear.
  6. cunt. fuck off. why'd we go so fucking sloppy the last 5 minutes
  7. Look a lot more comfortable in the 4-3-3 this week. Everyone with a better idea of where they should be and what to do. Hull are no worse than Villa so I don't think it's down to the quality of the opposition.
  8. Ignoring the middle two quotes: "... financial resources at our disposal." what money can be made available." For me, when he says "our" disposal, I don't think he means the club proper, but what MA has allowed the club to spend. I'm not going to bother with back of the napkin math about this tv deal or that revenue stream or trying to sum who owes what from which ledger since the beginning of fucking time; the money's there and in more quantity than just allowing for a loan deal for Remy. MA has just made very little available and it's hampering the ability to get things done. Bits about inflated prices and agent fees are diversionary as it's easy to get everyone nodding about the horrible state of affairs in the modern game and agree money has ruined everything and so on and so forth, but as is pointed out it's not an issue for other clubs, because they're accounting for it and paying the cost of doing business. We're simply not.

    Aye, she didn't turn noted cripples Shola Ameobi & Steven Taylor into indestructible supermen in 3 months. What a cunt.
