Ronaldo

When are we allowed to say he's not been good enough? When he's gone in the summer having been relegated as the most expensive defender in the club's history? The lad needs a season in a normally funtioning team, not this shower of s****. Who was the last defender a club paid £10m for who needed 12 months to settle in? His weaknesses, being getting turned, physical weakness & appalling defending when forwards are attacking the ball into the box, aren't anything that will be fixed by having time to settle. He needs to start looking like a good defender now. Errr...Vidic? tbh Liam's argument is flawed anyway as it's fair to say that most teams in a position to spend £10m on a defender generally have a decent enough midfield in place

said it about 3 weeks back that Wise would be manager before march

voted 5 a while back, at least a 7 now

our team on saturday will probably be the worst seen since 1993 tbh

Refering to our owner and manager

The radio are a fucking disgrace like, blaming Harper for Bellamy's goal yet Given could literally head the ball into his own net and not get any criticism cunts

£15-£20M for Given and N'zogbia would keep us up if it was spent. Yet here we are approaching the 29th of January. These cunts really should hang their heads in shame.

He needs to start looking like a good defender now. I quite agree. But in all honestly I can think of very very few continental defenders who'd look like £10m players in this team.

He's had 5 months in the premier league, 3 different managers, 2 completely out of their depth. He's played alongside only 2 competent defenders in that entire time, a keeper who cant organise and a totally non-existent midfield let's give the guy a break. He's hasn't looked like a £10m defender but he hasn't looked like Taylor, Ramage or Boumsong either

Keegan's biggest mistake was either selling Faye or making Owen captain. A captain is supposed to be the soul and drive of the team, his workrate, general effectiveness and commitment are all very poor, wish we'd got rid a while back. cunt

Morale, how can there be any when out of our 3 most senior players, 2 want to leave and the other is absolute shite

Coloccini as Wullie said is the least of our worries. Him and Bassong have looked good in defence, it's the woeful midfield and attack that needs to be looked at first. Ball retention starts there. There's precisely none in our team

simply hasn't got the pace for the premiership unfortunley will defo leave end of the season imo Give me 10 of the best premiership central defenders and I'll bet Colo's as quick or quicker than half of them. Pace isn't essential for a CB if they read the game well, and tackle well. Colo just needs to fine tune his game to the premiership tbh, he's playing in a shite team atm and played out of position tonight. You really cant expect him to thrive under these circumstances.

how's that worrying? He's been our best player since he signed for us

Those who prefered him to Avram Grant, honestly. That said, this mess we're in isn't down to him or his mismanagement by a long shot

What a mess, what a fucking mess, lovely way to return from a holiday, back to cunting reality, going down as things stand and the owner wont lift a finger, i'd happily do time for the fat, pathetic cunt

played his last game tbf end of an era. Fair play to him, he's managed 8 premiership goals for us this season, 7 from open play. His best in 4 seasons

played his last game tbf

shut the fuck up man seriously

we've attacked a lot better in the second half, coincidence that Owen went off in the first?

can see the bottom falling out big time on Sunday

jesus

this, he's looked about as threatening as Alan Smith in his last 8 games
