Ronaldo

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.

We play better against better teams and we're awful to play against away from home. Can comfortably see us getting 5 points or more from Brighton, Huddersfield and Reading away, especially with Gayle back.

This basically sums it up for me. Either way it's moot because if the club's moving in the right direction next season he won't be here. Not because he doesn't have good qualities but because he's all wrong for Rafa. He could barely be more wrong.

I think a lone striker having to be removed at HT and replaced with a winger because he's on a yellow card is the absolute definition of a liability, like. Gouffran is a striker he's just never really been played as one for us. Or at least he was bought as one. Yeah, he was replaced by Atsu. I'm starting to think you're a WUM account of someone else now, like. I think I know who, too.

We were fucking awful, man.

He was on a yellow. There's never any evidence with him that he plays with his head. He's too focused on proving how passionate he is, and when that doesn't work he often dives or pretends to be hurt. Yesterday he put Rafa in a position where he had to take him off. No option but to do that. His only fit striker apart from Murphy and we had to put fucking Gouffran up front for an entire half because Mitrovic can't be relied upon to just play with a bit of nous and restraint.

Striker goes for it nearly every single time the ball is bouncing in between the GK and defender like that, happens in nearly every match at some point. If he had left it, he'd have had people screaming at him for not challenging for the ball and being a lazy cunt. Someone made that daft argument yesterday, too. A grown man can't be risking a sending off half an hour into the game because someone might call him a lazy cunt.

I think a lone striker having to be removed at HT and replaced with a winger because he's on a yellow card is the absolute definition of a liability, like.

No. To be honest I can't think of a game less likely to finish that way than this one.
