  1. 2 goals in 11 games against the worst of defences doesn't represent success to me. The long ball tactic succeeds only in us losing the ball time and time again. We looked out most dangerous going forward against Brom, Reading and Ispwich to me. Simply because we played some football and got the ball wide when we could.
  2. Harewood has to be there man, the rest have proved they aren't goal scorers, at least yet

    No faith in that whatsoever, simply because it relies of Nolan - who's knackered and ineffective for 2 games out of 3

    With who on the left, Nolan?
  5. Against Sheff Wed it helped get us the goal but we looked incredibly stale in that game, the same against Leicester tbh. Against Reading it did nowt.

    We never have anything on the wing anyway
  7. Alternatively, we could stop playing long ball football. In terms of goals it hasn't given us success this season. That said, Carroll is the only player I'd start with Harewood

    nobody can disagree with that. But hey, those fingers must be pointed at someone Are you saying that because the alternatives are worse we shouldn't be pointing out his faults and poor games? What ridiculous logic. Jonas is being used as a scapegoat for a bad result it seems. The people i'm arguing with aren't pointing out his flaws with much objectivity here, they're basically saying he's s*** and shouldn't be in the side

    One? He was pretty gash for the entirety of last season? Nolan was worse but he's suddenly become Totti mark II in the fizzy pop league. Jonas has shown me enough to suggest that he should be persisted with
  10. Higuain is brilliant, he'd be absolutely superb in the premiership imo
  11. they're usually magnificent at defending

    come on lads, one bad game returning from injury
  13. I think he'll find it impossible to change his character whatever his job title. Let's hope Anal has got it wrong again. it's not really about changing character, it's about maximizing authority.
  14. next to Wise, I find it difficult to despise Souness as much

    I hope they booze for the next 2 weeks without stopping, but 2 days before a game it's just f***ing inappropriate tbh - IF they're actually drinking alcohol
  17. I have reservations but I'd love him back. He's probably the best manager we'll be able to attract in the next decade

    And therein lies a lot of his problem. He is massively better with Enrique in the team. Take Enrique out and he is far less effective. He came from a league where the full-backs overlap. Not his fault we only have one capable of doing so. Even without Enrique, he's still a lot better than anyone else there

    Nolan will be a lot more effective if he misses out on the midweek games, really doesn't have the stamina to be playing twice a week.
  20. No ronaldo, is he injured? He just posted in the Jonas thread, seems alright. You really could have stuck the knife in there, good form sir

    Jonas Gutierrez

    To be honest, I think Taylor will do well on the RW with 2 proper strikers in the middle, Nolan will have one good game in three. Jonas and Enrique will clean house on the left and quietly win us a lot of games. It's never going to be as blatant as you'd expect for a winger, but he'll do some job for us under the right conditions

    Jonas Gutierrez

    Jonas did four times as much as those two did last season
  23. He's never been a great defender, blatantly one of those whose assertiveness and influence in the dressing roomg goes along way to justifying selection. The fact that he's been their main defender for a while now is one of the reasons they've failed to win the title
  24. Ronaldo

    Jonas Gutierrez

    Jonas is effective in that he pegs the opposition back and allows space for others. There really is a smashing player in there somewhere but like Coloccini he'll never be appreciated as much as he should due to a very unorthodox, unbritish style of play. I can't really comment on yesterday sadly but with Enrique on wednesday night he anihilated everything in his path, although a cutting edge was typically lacking.
