Top quality that!! Suppressing the giggles at work...

Forgot a bout Jaap Stam, good shout, reckon van dykes/companys skills at bringng ball out does it for me

Robertson? Robertson? Really? ROBERTSON? Not such a bad call. The only problem is it shifts Cole out to the right. I found right back the most difficult position to fill. There wasn't an outstanding candidate. I was even tempted to pick Alexander-Arnold, but there are still too many questions about his defending. If Robertson was a right back, I think I'd have picked him there. Along the lines of above tbh... cant think of any other outstanding full backs. Really think he is a great modern full back, great engine, pace and attacks and defends at a very high level. Better than alexander arnold tbh, although his free kicks/flair stuff get him more air time

Champs league is their real achilles, they just seem to fluff their lines and Guardiola seems to overthink/twiddle too much instead of dictating games like in prem...

I'm sure it'll be closer but Man City look on a different planet to everyone else. Totally agree. Even with de bruyne and aguero out they looked unbeatable. Imagine taking those two out of any other team... they would really suffer

Could swap shelvey for hendrick if we wanted a bit more defensive... Would rather go for a positive win

would go for the following or a 4-3-3 with same players: ----------------------Dubs-------------------------- Murphy-----Lascelles-----Clark-------Lewis --------------Hayden------Shelvey---------- Ritchie-----------Willock------------Fraser ---------------Joe--------------------

Where do you think we would be now? ... if Rafa had been allowed to spend 10 million on the academy and another 60/70 mill as Bruce has had on players... I reckon the football would be ordered/organised but we probably wouldn´t have seen Maximillion here. We would be proud of the team and club and would be watching with intent and passion. Not quite the experience at the moment

The reality, and we all know it, is that Ashley is as stupid as the plastic manager he currently has in the dugout. If he doesn´t change Bruce now we are definitely down. God, I detest the imposter we have pretending to be a manager, not quite like the hate I had for the sleazy creepy king, but slowly inching towards that... We need to win two of our next three games otherwise we are doomed. The only saving grace is that Fulham now have a four or five game fixture list that seems very hard for them to pick up points.

Does nobody else see that Krafth is a completely useless defender? I would rather have murphy in there at right back and it would possibly give us more attacking threat as well. I honestly would not play Kraft again this season, he just backs off all the time and is so easily turned... how the hell he plays international football???

P.S. and would offer something going forward

Why not have murphy in there as right back, at least he has the pace to keep up with the speedy wingers and will not back off as Krafth does (err, nodoby backs off that much!!).

It is unbelievable that businesses (clubs) worth over 300M do not do the sufficient diligence to select the most important person within that business. It is still based upon how good a player they were, how friendly they come over.... it does not seem to have any relevance to how good a manger they will be, perhaps the only facet being they can get some initial respect from the players (which wears out very quickly when they realise they have an imbecile training them).

Fulham are only 7 points adrift with a game in hand. It is not unreasonable to think that if we are relegated the potential buyers will back out. Investors do not normally take such risks as a first time bounce up from the championship. I can´t see us winning another game with calum out and Cabbage face at the helm...

If it is real it must be a snidey play from Ashley to force Bruce out i.e. put another manager (DOF) in to "help" and they give the orders. Surely even Brucie Bonus wouldn´t stand for it... Great play from the fat one tho¨ (what a canniving cnut he is!).

Appalling defending against Aubemay for their first goal, backed off from the halfway line to just about our five yard box...

Love the title for the match review on Nufc.com

Can´t blame the lad, he has been the only spark we have had and has to work tirelessly to get nowt back. Fukcin Brucie Bonus playin his cards right again

I could well believe it, just listening to him talk, or attempt to talk, let´s you know that there isn´t a lot of quality grey matter upstairs. The only thing that gives me an inkling of hope that we will get rid of him is that Ashley might wake up and smell the coffee i.e. see that his end game is disappearing quickly and will react to that... then again, from past form... I must be dreaming

Shame Hayden is suspended had a great game against liverpool. I would go for Matty and Sean, although Sean has definitely looked a yard off the pace in the last couple of games.

I still watch the games whenever I can, but if I´m honest I rarely get worked up. At the moment it is frustrating to the point of wanting to strangle the placka geordie, you can see that we have the players in the squad to be playing much better football, or at least at the minimum requirement some semblance of a game plan. It is still not as bad as it was when Pardew "The King" was "reining" over us, just the sight of that creepy slimey cun* on the sideline made me feel physically sick such was the hate for him. As long as the Fat Slimeball is our owner we will never return to the top of the table. It is definitely a vendetta/grudge whatever, his treatment of our club, nothing else could vindicate his cations. For any future owners: It is very easy to see that the largest and most important investment to be made should be in our manager. Just look back at the ones who have worked and it is easy to see... Pedigree will get us back up there! Anyway, Happy & Healthy 2021 to all!!

What a pile of stinkin putrid brown stuff yesterday. Worst I have seen us play since the king was on the throne. Tactics and the way we play is schoolboy at best. With shelvey and longstiff ambling back to pick up the ball, looking in front of them to make 60 yerd passes all of the time, losing the ball in ten seconds flat and repeating ad nauseum... ffs! Nobody moving, no one twos, no triangles and movement of the team as a block together... utter dogshap! Only players to come out with a degree of respect yesterday were miggs for his effort and wilson for being our only real football player on the pitch. Clark: unable to play above leagje one for me. Feddy: decent but just at that Yedlin: dont think he made a cross all afternoon. Gets up the pitch then chickens out Dummet: championship at best. Can defend but slow and doesnt add anything goi g forward Richie: absolute gash yesterday. Everything he tried failed. Well out of sorts Shelvey: veeeerrryyyy sloooowww at everything Longstaff: must be covid fatigue? Caught with the ball loads and huffed and puffed... nowt more Miggs: ran about a lot and was ok Linton: ok, but nothing more Wilson: too good for this team

-------------------Darlow-------------------- -----Schar--------Lascelles-----Fedz---- Murphy--------------------------------Lewis ---Almiron----Longst----Hayden----ASM -----------------Wilson---------------- Only change would be Hayden for Hendricks, probably need a bit more defensive mettle in midfield for Southampton, although Hendricks probably played his best game for us against everton. If we go ahead bring on hendrick for ASM to shore it up, if we are behind bring on Fraser...

yes, the way he plays he should be great anywhere on the field as he can dribble past 2,3,4 players and get into dangerous positions. Just seems to work better for him out wide. My own personal ball ache is that you watch how hard Wilson presses and harries and then you see ASM doing his "contribution" and it kills me. If he could raise his defensive "effort" 50% he would be outstanding.
