Ronaldo

I'm happy for him, problem is he tends to play poorly behind Gayle, so I'd expect Diame to come back in.

We'll be much better with Gayle back, man. He gives us a much better shape and obviously more threat.

If we can't finish clearly above Reading and Huddersfield we've got absolutely no business pretending to be a PL club anyway.

About fucking time.

I'm getting tired as fuck of Rafa's preference for grafters, like.

Who?

Lascelles repeatedly done by Cameron Jerome for pace, man. And some think he's a PL player.

Well yeah, he was our starting striker and penalty taker for a full PL season, which has never been afforded to Gayle. The argument is also weakened by the fact the decision to gave Mitrovic that responsibility helped send us down.

He played decently against Wolves ffs. People have got to stop reading so much into narrow wins against absolutely awful opposition.

Goes for a lot of players who've struggled a bit this season. We were up against teams with nowt to play for.

He's usually perfectly fine against poor players, tbh. Against the mighty 7th placed Norwich City he was always gonna come a bit unstuck.

A large proportion of them, certainly. Shame because his handling was great in the last game which really relieved a lot of the pressure. He's far too prone to very basic errors and obviously uncomfortable on the ball, too.

Shouldn't be in the team then, tbh. It's not a position for inexperience unless it's married to sublime quality.

Any decent attack will rip this lot to shreds, like. If we go up we need a new 5 there if Krul doesn't return.

9th goal we've let in 16 away games. Awful that. We're in a dreadful league and defend well as a team, to be fair. Still maintain our 4 starting defenders all need replacing.

That's how good our defence is.

Mitrovic missing an easy chance is usually the foretelling of a defeat and/or relegation.

People and Muhammad Ali, man. So fucking tedious.

If that was the case he'd have been out of the team months ago. For who I'm not sure, mind. All of the replacements are far worse at best.

It's not due to the formation at all, like. Rafa's never been one to encourage his full backs to maraud forward. It's due to the fact that Gouffran carries all the threat of Richard E. Grant after a vodka and orange juice.

They've been relentless with it, like. I counted no less than 6 promos during the Pebble Beach Pro-Am yesterday ffs.

A bit being forever.

Yeah, that sounds like veiled criticism of what goes on at our place without the scope for an obvious reference.
