When there’s a shot hit to corners do you have any confidence he’ll save it or get a hand on it? How about when he’s got to shuffle across his line to save back post? Answeee is none for me. I love his attitude these days and his commitment but honestly man, he’s also an issue.

Frommer’s over here

Thanks for posting that Dave, downloaded - useless but interesting reading for a sports nut

Ah, the most influential business person in the middle east? examples please.

Stop

If Pardew took the job he’d be sitting in the stands no doubt.

Factually correct but not being able to score when we're on top has directly contributed to the overall outcomes on this current run. Take the Bournemouth match for example, had the disallowed goal stood I think we'd have won that game fairly comfortably. Obviously that one wasn't Gayle's fault but it's an example of how not scoring impacts the whole team. True, but I don't have much confidence in our striker's ability to score goals, so we need to make sure we can get it right at the other end. Joselu fluffed chance at 0-0. Gayle can’t get ball from under his feet after nice turn at 1-0 or 0-0 can’t remember. Sorry man, they NEED to score in those positions.

0 help from Ritchie and a CB who was getting burned for pace and no CM help from Diame or Shelvey dropping in either. He was at fault sure, Yedlin, but had 0 assistance whatsoever.

He’s a coward man. No way does he take the job before Tuesday. He’d hate to lose to Newcastle even in our horrendous form.

He’s so much better with Lascelles.

Agreed Dropout.

He’s lowest rung LB for me. I’d be playing Mbemba, Clark, Dummet, Gamez or Haidara over him.

1 or 2 of Mbemba, Dummet, Gamez to come in and play full back and I’d be playing a midfield 3 of Hayden, Shelvey and Merino. Wingers of Murphy, Ritchie, Aarons and ST of Mitro.

Ian

Needs to be playing LB or CB imo.

Or get his shots on target or something

Sit him on the bench for WBA.

why did he do that celebration?

Salah is pure class

never been so mad with him; trying to remind myself that this is Rafa fucking Benitez and I need to calm down but I'm furious with that result, performance and his selection today.

Aye posted this at half time too - what a horrendous take by Hope. Not sure what the fuck he's on about.

Mitro as the CF. Hell play Merino as a 10 or play 5 across midfield with Hayden and Shelvey central. Change wingers or something. Play Mbemba left back and Gamez right back or one of them left back.

Pinning today on Rafa and his stubborn reliance on shit players.
