You can't survive in the Pl without a defence. We have no Tier One players at the back.

Good player with bags of potential. One that needs the fabled 5 1/2 year deal.

To even get back into the perenial CL qualifying group they need to spend 150m that is the enormity of the task. It's a very dull squad bar a couple of players.

Shame cause it would have been interesting if he's taken the team to the crowd today.

Turned down Man C didn't he?

MOM for me today. Tireless, took people on and had a couple of good digs at goal.

Nice.

Seemed to run a bit faster than his normal lollop.

Fixed.

WBA might yet get relegate. Atrocious side.

MOM for me.

Do a sub you ginger cunt.

Need to get out 45yr old on.

With all those misses you know they will get one.

We need another because it's nailed on Bera will score.

Need another one.

Needed that as he cost us a goal by strolling back from offside.

Be brilliant if they win it a real up yours to the oil and gas moguls.

Yup. No idea where his stellar reputation has come from.

Rodgers was a little bit unlucky at Liv, he had an aging def and this horrific transfer committee going out and buying overrated tat.

Only the ego the size of a continent can save us.

Our biggest problem with him is that he doesn't realise he's getting things wrong and that he needs to find other solutions. That's what that grin is. He thinks it will just magically come right ie we'll work on the training ground. PL managing is 90% in the mind. McClaren isn't very self aware, his head is befuddled with loads of old 'positive' coaching practices but on matchday he is very unconnected to what is going on...You can see the bemusement come over him when things go wrong. He doesn't realise yet he is failing and untill he does he won't look for other solutions.

I honestly don't think he'd start in any other PL side bar maybe Villa or Norwich and even then maybe. He just isn't ready.

The PL is one of those leagues where coaching isn't enough. The manager must either inspire fear or have bags of charisma. He has neither.
