the manager is too much of a coward to say what needs saying about the urgent requirement for new players, or he's complicit in agreeing not to sign any which is just as bad the MD proved last season he knows not a f***ing thing about the game of football ashley is absent and concentrating on SD which is worth billions leaving all control to charnley carr is a scout and there's nothing worth saying about moncur my prediction is very little useful transfer business if any and relegation, a normal club would ensure at least 1 player in for manyoo in order to try and make something happen, not this set of clueless bellends the manager is too much of a coward to say what needs saying about the urgent requirement for new players, or he's complicit in agreeing not to sign any which is just as bad How do you work out he too much of a coward to ask for players ? unreal statement, unless you go to the board meetings ....

Hopefully he will continue to play well a get over 20 goals this seasom. No matter which league we are in next season, he going to be needed.

true I don't think he's a bad defender he is just not a very good going forward. still think he defended well yesterday though.

Thought he defended well yesterday.,after a shaky first ten minutes.

It's not hard been better than Anitia to be honest as he offers nothing to the team. Hopefully he will be replaced in this transfer window.

What I would say after watching the game that Tiote is a big improvement on Anitia, Gini needs to play in the centre more. we Defended better than we usually do apart from the goal.. Still think we need to buy at least one central midfielder a forward and a winger to stand any chance of avoiding the drop. Unlucky to loose, but if you do not take your chances then you cannot complain too much if you don't get anything from the game.

thought he did very well, hope he can play like that for the rest of the season

Think our unbeaten record in 2016 will come to an end here.. 4-0 to the Arsenal..

Good move for the lad.. should have madr the move a couple of years ago

ok if Arsenal sign someone could he play against us ?

he not worth it, but maybe someone is daft enough to pay it, Just will not be us..

If we did sign someone on Friday could he play on Saturday or is the F. A having the day off ?

awful news to wake up to .R.I.P Pav .. way too young

I don't disagree.that McClellan is the right man. Either the tranafer policy has to change or the man in charge of that policy has to go first.

who knows , not many would have many more points,. we are second best in most games and have been for the past few years. under three different managers. The players are not good enough that the problem that needs fixing first. If we had a decent squad and were stuck in the bottom three then the manger has to take the blame. I think you are living in dream world if you think another manger is going to come along and get this team out of the bottom six..

If the players are not good enough how do you expect a manger to do well ?

we are rooted in the bottom three what I am saying most mangers would be with this squad of players.. Not for one moment saying Mcclaren is the right man for the job,

He spent £50 million in the summer. And he's restricted to looking for mercenaries we can potentially sell on for a profit. He's the least of our worries. he is the main problem. Any manger would struggle with this squad, he has had plenty of time to get a half decent balanced squad. instead we have a squad packed with players not good enough or always injured. He needs to take his share of the blame for this he takes a share of the blame, sure, but then given what you know about the way ashley runs the club what on earth makes you think it's anything other than seeking bargains and potential sell on value that dictates which of the targets we go for? we've been linked with plenty of players over the last 4-5 years that could be top class but we'd never ever pay the money to get them How many players has he found and sold on for big profits ? most are simply not good enough . Not arguing the point how Ashley runs the club, Just the fact Carr comes up with more crap than anything else.. Said before say it again any manager would Struggle with the squad Carr has given him. Absolutely do not agree with your final point especially, nor your overall conclusion that Carr bears most of the blame. I reserve that for Ashley and his balance sheet monkey who really decide who we buy. so you are saying most managers would not struggle with our Midfield. Ginger Jack and his mate are a joke. we have no decent fit wingers. our defence cannot keep clean sheets. The players are not good enough ... I think a good manager would be able to forge something more than we're seeing from Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Anita, Thauvin, Perez, Mitrovic & Aarons yes. There's others not mentioned that could probably be coaxed to contribute more under good management but we don't have good management. Certainly more than 17 f***ing points after 19 games. The squad is poor but I slated Pardew and Carver for their inability to get the most out of what they were given and I'm not giving McClaren a pass for the same thing. Not one player has improved since he arrived, in fact he's arguably managed to regress more than one first team player since turning up. Anita is rubbish Sissoko and Perez maybe, Aarons is never fit. unless you have decent wingers Mitrovic will struggle. Wijnaldum, looks decent but shoved out wide because we have no decent fit wingers . I will stick by my statement most mangers would struggle with the squad we have.

Not sure he be a great signing myself but he has to be an improvement on the dross we have playing in midfield at the moment..

EmbarrassingAs simple as that...

it was a penalty and a red card ref bottled it. still no excuse to loose to a team as bad as west brom though.. we were poor again..

He made Steve Hardwick look like Gorden Banks today.. what a nightmare
