Ronaldo

It's really not, like. Barely any of this lot played under him, for a start. Why has it not been addressed then? Colback is a prime example - heart the size of a pea and Perez seems to be going the same way. They're not good enough. Rafa wanted a new CM and AM/winger which presumably would've pushed those two down the pecking order. He was ignored.

We've all known that for months, to be fair.

Can anyone see us scoring 3 times or more with the personnel out there?

Is Mitrovic playing? I've genuinely not heard his name once.

[emoji38] Have we come from behind after conceding first this season? No. Lost every game.

Good start.

Seriously though, Heza, I hope you're better soon. Even if you do still think Tiote's a better footballer than Shelvey.

I can, yeah.

Not if he says the same rubbish in real life he says on here, mind.

I think it's a fairly valid consideration that the man in question is obviously an affable, honourable bloke, like. I know that doesn't win you games but it points the 'loss of the dressing room' finger squarely in the direction of the players.

I wouldn't say he's an expert in game management, like. He absolutely is an expert in preparation, managing a squad and setting the team up tactically but in spite of what was accomplished in Istanbul, changing the game when things aren't going for him isn't his forte.

Us, Palace and who? QPR (loan), my mistake, will be 3 in 5 seasons. Thinks he's too good for the Championship though. Well, yeah, because he is.

Remind him that he wrote an article advocating his sacking in April of that season.

You can't compare Roeder to that mong, like. Took us from something like 16th to European qualification in 3 months playing some very good football. Carver took us from 9th/10th to a final day relegation scrap.

Such a weird obsession with him. I didn't even say anything. You said Darlow was twice the keeper or something, didn't you?

To be fair, I think Allardyce has always said positive things about the Europa League.

If he wants to come back here he should've been offered the England job.

Winter's a bigger cunt than his seasonal namesake.

Roberta and Solano were not similar. Nobby had a bit of pace over 10-15 yards. Robert was much quicker than Solano, like.

Yeah, same. It's really difficult to accept people lauding fucking Gouffran for 5-yard passes and tracking back when you've experienced a player of Robert's class and unpredictability. Waking up on a Saturday morning in those days, man...

Nothing remotely Italian about it.

Mitro is s***. Hate to be the bearer of such bad news at such an important point in the season. But thems the facts as we know it. Match winner v Wolves, and changed the game on Monday v Villa. I don't think he's done too badly the last few weeks, playing in a side that doesn't suit his style of play. He's certainly not "shit". Changed the game. His hamstring wasn't torn. That's about the extent of it.
