Ronaldo

We only kept them up in 2022 when we had nothing to play for ourselves. Horrible club.

7th likely to be Europa league this year instead of that Conference guff, right?

Surely you’d take the risk of achieving 5th then, knowing that we have to keep those 1 or 2.

No. Bournemouth have been excellent nearly every time I’ve seen them.

Surely you’re not serious given the aim has to be 5th, and 6th does nothing for us in terms of retaining players?

You say that but we always seem to look worse when he’s subbed on. His strength as a footballer was never his defensive abilities anyway.

They’re both utter shit, managed by men completely out of their depth and on less than 30 points in mid-February. We have every right to expect to be above them with that in mind.

He got it a bit wrong today - it happens. But the contrast between what Pep and him have been able to do in recent windows is staggering, unfair and was always likely to manifest itself today. Man for man, they looked better all over the park. Better touches, more dynamic, better decision making. There’s only so much Eddie can get out of the likes of Murphy, Gordon, Willock etc. These aren’t intelligent, supremely talented footballers as much as they’re top athletes who’ve been very well coached and catered for, for 2/3 years. My only real gripe is Trippier playing. He’s blatantly finished as a top level player.

They’re in a completely false position and we should beat them, as we did in autumn.

Carbon copy of our last 4 league performances, in truth. Just against far better opposition.

Just not enough cover in that scenario. We really could do with someone who can play as a CF and another position, ideally on the right and is proven to be at least strong PL standard doing both. Easier said than done. Mbeumo is the obvious one but he’d cost an absolute bomb.

Zero animosity, but stop trolling and use the ignore (I’m actually not even sure if it’s a thing) if it winds you up this much.

I’ve no interest in engaging with this guy. He genuinely needs help.

Pardew. I hated him as much as anyone on here you absolute parody.

So personal and needless. You quote me literally more than anyone else on here. You really need to find better ways to spend your time.
