Better off having Smalling sit out the last 10 minutes play 10 v 10
-
We don’t need to get thumped. But we need Lascelles fit as possible. Might be the most sensible move if he’s carrying major knocks.
-
Reckon Ramos would be a better striker than Joselu.
-
Why is Kovacic playing DM. Why is Casemiro so far upfield. Absolute bollocks.
-
Real absolute garbage.

It’s definitely Colo clown status.

Lejeune is as bad defensively as anything we’ve had in the PL for some time. Slow. Pap in the air. Not smelling danger. No agility. But at times he looks a talented footballer. He has something. Somewhere unlike Mr. Williamson. But he’s been awful and a huge reason we’ve struggled so badly.

Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press

Luiz would be our best player. Obviously. -
The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Keith Andrews appointed at Brentford

Turns out it was 13 in 27 PL games. 17 in 32 overall. They finished 6th. Semis in League cup. Otherwise he’s done an OK job elsewhere. -

Hughes put together a tidy Blackburn side. Finished 7th or 6th playing decent football. Bellamy scoring something like 16 league goals. -
It’s to the point if he has a big injury we are 100% down. Need the other lads to step up.
-
Should be one of the first. Massive wages. Perhaps high sell-on value. Not rated at that level by Rafa.
-
Xhaka can pass and not much else. He can’t even consistently do that.
-
99% of our problems can be attributed to Ashley for the past decade tbf.
-
Better than Darlow. He’ll have to do until the transfer window
-
You’re a clown Twinport.

Nah. Zaha is the man at Palace. They should be a mid table side. Rather see him play week in week out for his home town club than a rotation option at Spurs.
-
Alonso and Mascherano was his best pairing. Alonso intelligent off the ball and stayed deep. Mascherano the enforcer. Stevie G ahead of them.
-
I don’t rate the lad much. A year of PL football with us. Mostly garbage.
-
This is where I’m at. Better at joining a stretched game.

What is it you expect him to do? Order his defence to stop conceding goals? Get what we always knew was a poor strike force to start scoring freely? All he can really do is organise the team and hope they do their jobs. Don’t sign them in the first place because they are not good enough. Most of them were signed to take us out of the championship. This^ Anyone who cant see this is a bit special. So Joselu and Manquillo were bought for the Championship were they? Get your facts right first before you try and be clever. Joselu was a Murphy replacement and Manquillo was obvious cover for fullbacks. Rafa didn’t sign them with the intention of being regulars in the first team and their fees reflect that. It’s well documented he got screwed over in the transfer window and we didn’t land the players he wanted or spend the money he was promised so it’s a bit daft to judge this as a Rafa side. You don’t buy s*** end of are people honestly on a different planet here. If you buy s*** you get s*** and if he didn’t intend them to be first team players well they are though and that’s the problem. I’ve said all along I think he was shafted but you don’t then settle for your 5th and 6th choices just because you want bodies in your team. If you buy s*** you get s*** but the biggest criticism is that these two continuously keep getting regular game time when their performances have been woeful. Eh? What should he have done instead in your opinion? Genuine question. Just don’t buy the players and keep coming out at Ashley as to the reasons why. What is the point in buying players who were never good enough and will never be good enough. But to me the most worrying thing is these players are still getting regular game time despite being woeful This is weird logic. He doesn’t rate Mbemba and he’s not a fullback - he needed someone there. We only had 2 strikers on our books. 1 he doesn’t rate at all. He needed someone. Likewise we should’ve signed anyone better than Eliot in goal.

Didn't Mole also say Zaha wasn't as effective as Ritchie or something? Yes. Yes he did. Smfh.

Burnley keep getting clean sheets regardless of injuries or whatever.
