I did remember he looks like injured last match?

I genuinely think there is a line between "strong lineup for having a go" and "win the game at all cost". Lascelles has little injury before the game and he really shouldn't play today. I respect Rafa decision for having a go but it has backfired.

I said for long this weird person has to be fired asap.

I think the question is why the "reimbursement agreement" was rescinded. This is quite crucial to our survival and if I am PCP, i would not do the deal because the squad is not strengthened and I would have to bear huge relegation risk after the take over.

I can't classify getting Deeney for 20m and selling Mitro for sth like 10m max a good business. But yea if we have money and this can make us survive why not? Mind you if a player fall out with Rafa after signed he will just be frozen out and we would get nth in return, like Lazaar.

To be fair if that bloke is talking truth, the deal was done around 12 Dec, then it did take around one month from 12 Dec to 6 Jan. The story is complete.

It should be just formality now. The dark age is finally over. Now let's hope Saudi is really behind Amanda...

He is unbelievable. He is still not an excellent defender but his impact on other teammates are simply unreal.

I think Manquillo should be credited for keeping Shaqiri quiet.

Get fuckin in. That's huge, fucking huge results.

How can that not be a penalty!?

That's surprisingly good half for us to be honest.

Oh fucking hell Clark

I don't want him sacked, I still want him to be our manager, but I won't be surprised that he is heavily criticised nor I would spend any effort defending him. In short, he has done a lot of things that do him no favour, and make himself fulnerable to critics. The handling of Mitrovic, the signings (if the player is that shit, why waste money?), Gamez Mbemba and Manquillo, 12m spent on a bench player instead of starting 11, persistence of Ritchie, suicidal 442, strange subs etc. He deserves the sticks. Rightly so. He is "failing" in the sense that he didn't really utilise all his resources on hand. Just he shouldn't be sacked due to no replacement and as some people said "his hand is tied". It has been said last season already. A "world class manager", "top elite in Europe", should be better than this.

Well who is he young players Rafa mentioned? Merino? Yedlin? Darlow? Or Murphy? What the fuck that excuse is? I can't get it.

This the same 4-4-2 everyone reckoned was the solution earlier in the season, and was definitely going to solve our attacking problems? Just checking like. I am not in the "everyone" list. I said long time ago playing Gayle would disrupt our team chemistry and we must play 4231, starting Joselu and Perez. Merino again have another poor game today due to fatigue - he is like this every time we play a two men midfield. Absolutely no fucking surprise we are that shit today when we go for 442.

442. How many lessons u need Rafa?

What the fuck is that Atsu?

Blame the players. Rafa has his hands tied.

What a "break"

Great defending by Dummett

Joselu decisions today is fucking bad

Fucking poor attempt, that.

No one should happy for this performance.

What the fuck is this?
