buzza

No way he would go to La Real, they chop and change managers every season or two, have a crap stadium, weak crowd and the only good thing going for them is their basque neighbours (Athletic & Eibar). Marca is about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard.

Monday morning is a lot more entertaining than usual!! Great start; I can either take it as real or enjoy the ridiculousness

He is a crock and has never quite lived up to the hype. He plays well about one in four games... Not for me!

Best one for me is still the Norway commentary

Somebody transplant Gattuso's spirit into wor diame?

Tin hat... but what the f***

On one game: streets ahead of blobby and darlow

Good subs aswell today. Team performance... love it!

Had kenedy passed the ball first time to gayle on our only breakaway the game would hva been very different. Bad decision albeit on a good outing again...

Aye, thought clark was very poor today. Liability every time he is clearing the ball. Think the same about Darlow every time he has the ball at his feet.

We would move up to eleventh if we win today. My team would be: --------------------------New bloke--------------------------- Yedlin-------------Lascelles----------Clark----------Dummet ---------------Merino-----------Shelvey-------------------------- Ritchie-----------------Ayoze-------------------------Kenedy---- ---------------------------Yoselu---------------------------- Bring on Atsu/Murphy and Slimani in second half, keep game tight with ritchie 1t half.

team is?

I think we are playing a tactical game so that we don´t pay inflated transfer fees in January. I reckon it´s a done deal and as soon as Rafa signs who he wants; we will declare and everyone will live happily ever after....

Steven Nzonzi would fit the bill perfectly, but his value has soared since he went to Spain Quadruple the footballer he was when he was in the UK. Would be a great buy! Defensive midfielder with good vision and passing skills as well as being an athlete and dirty barsteward on top!!

I would like to see: -------------------------Elliot----------------------------- Yedlin-----Lascelles-------Clark------------Mbemba ---------------Shelkvey-----Hayden------------------ --Atsu-----------------Merino--------------Ritchie --------------------Gayle------------------------- Gayle has looked quite sharp in the last couple of games, seems to have a bit of confidence. With Merino a bit further up the pitch he can relax a bit more. Everton in the same boat as us and seem a bit brittle also. Need a goal early to settle us.

My line up would be: yedlin Lejuene Clark Chancel -----------Shelvey ----hayden--------- aarons------joselu---------ritchie --------------Gayle--------------------

Would also like to see gayle on today, perhaps joselu in the nº10 position, as we have no counter attacking pace now through injuries...

Would like to see him involved today, even if coming off the bench. Thought he has looked good in the fleeting glimpses we have had of him. Compared to putting ayoze out on the wing. If Rafa risks putting on the twin and he plays badly he might shatter his confidence...

Aye, we can say that the front two put in a shift, but you expect more from a forward in one of the top leagues in the world! We may as well get a couple of marathon runners in at Nº9 & Nº10 and they will press even better... Hhhhmmm. Not satisfied at all. Ayoze has turned from being an outstanding talent into a faded caricature of a player.

I thought that Burnley were gathering a head of steam for a good part in the second half leading to their goal. We were awful in bringing the ball out and the first sign of pressure the ball was back to elliot who booted it back to them. Worst game I have seen from us in a while. Up front we are appalling at the moment, there is absolutely no spark or creation from the front players. Didn´t help that both wingers had an off game.

I would go for a single change with merino in for ayoze. We need something extra in the nº10 position. I would persevere with yoselu and bring on Mitro if necessary in the second half. I like lejuene and lascelles in the defence, also like the fact they are both decent in the air for corners and free kicks.

Would have merino on at n10, given that he plays there for spanish uder 23s. Might even give mitro a bash, Joselu has worked hard but has nt really been a fret (vomit at vocab use)

So erm... caught out of position? Erm... No! When a full back goes forward one of the midfielders should drop so that his position is covered, either hayden or shelvey are to blame if manquillo joins the attack...

Very poor again today. N10 is top priority in Jan, ahem... or a striker Defense and midfield looks good and with options, not that worried.

Alzo thought he played well today, he left lejeunne alone on a couple of occasions but that was only because he was involved in attacks. He's growi g on me game by game
