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.

Diame works well with Gayle. That's why the former hasn't produced since returning from Africa.

He gets a rush of blood and makes stupid decisions. I've lost count how many goals he's been at fault for since his second half errors away to Forest but he has to be on a last chance now. I'd never want to advocate putting Rob fucking Elliot back in but we can't be literally presenting empty nets every other game.

It didn't click with you when you were responding to posts about putting Elliot back in?

No question. We've drawn 4 games all season and 3 of them have come in the past 4 weeks. Without him our ability to snatch points is basically nonexistent.

Lots of stories from our preferred media partner about him leaving since the window shut.

You must be on glue.

99 times out of 100 that header back ends up comfortably in the arms of the keeper but for some reason Darlow's on the corner of his box. Literally nothing to justify him racing out of position, wrong side of the post, off his line and off balance.
