Ronaldo

This is nonsense, to be fair. He's been poor for months now.

He didn't sign any of the players from this 11 I'd say aren't good enough for where we're aiming to be.

What park? Not on here you didn't. There's only Ronaldo who rates the lad. Yeah, so much so I want him replaced in the summer. He's absolutely not as bad as folk make out, though.

Good play? It was a poor finish at best.

We're hopeless in posession. Absolutely hopeless.

Fuck off man.

What an abysmal start all round.

Rob Lee's a mong, like. Another one whose working life ended the moment his knees went.

The irony of you coming out with statements like that. Nothing ever sinks in.

Oh, I like this thread.

It's everything wrong with football summed up in 90 mins. When players pick and choose when to put in 100% despite picking up millions a year in wages then it's going to leave a sour taste. Don't remember people taking issue with the Chelsea players after Mourinho left. What? Pretty obvious. Pretty obviously wrong, aye.

Nearly 2 points per game is 3-3? OK.

Pretty sure French was banned on here, and that's obviously a bit more inclusive. Problem is, the systems that suit a static striker all involve a second striker on the field and rarely work in English football anymore. Especially not at the level we're aiming for.

A big massive centre forward? Er, no.

Gouffran in that position.

Had that great season with Liverpool when they nearly won the title in '09. 86 points is pretty impressive.

The decision not to invest in January looks better by the day.

I thought you'd gone to a better place, Mick. Congrats.

As if Gouffran was ever not going to start away to the best side in the league.

Or maybe Darlow just made a error in judgment and went for a ball he shouldn't for the umpteenth time.

I'd wholeheartedly go with this if Gayle was fit to start. The team keeps its shape far better with him on the field in addition to the obvious added threat of grabbing a goal against the run of play.

'Ridiculous diving header' ffs. Stifler fucking ruined this place when he invited all his friends, like.

I've seen a hell of a lot of defenders have an easy time with Mitro. Most of them are bigger, stronger, quicker and smarter, for a start. Let's not pretend he's some colossus that can't be stopped.

Howay, Nut. You can guarantee Rafa would've worked on the ball over the top with the defence and the drill would've been, if possible, a header downwards while the keeper holds his position in the centre of the goal no further off his line than necessary. For some reason Darlow's charging out like a bull in spite of the fact it's plainly obvious that Dummett's there to make the header. Same with the Clark OG against QPR. Darlow can see everything yet he's in absolute no man's land, oblivious.
