Ashley wont sell the club unless he gets a ridiculous, ridiculous offer.
Everything from appointing a mouthpiece as manager to asking Mort to come back suggests he's in it for the long haul and never really had any intention of selling.
in every partnership there are strengths and weaknesses, it only becomes a problem when said weaknesses are shared. Bassong compensates for Colo's physical faults it seems. Taylor just amplifies them tenfold.
Down to the bare bones and he basically tries to get himself sent off and banned for 3 games. Honestly, what a clueless, talentless c***. How the likes of Nixon can call him a good defender is completely beyond me and most of the 50,000 it now seems
As I've been saying since September, he's never had any intention of selling the club
He's gonna have to pull out all the stops in the next 5 weeks. Only then will he be welcomed back.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that Given seemed to not know what was coming.
His free kick last year went into Given's side of the net, might have went through his mind as he seemed to hesitate when he moved across.
bottom line is, Given is found wanting when he has to use his head. The rest of the time he's a good keeper
He could gift them two goals and still we'd hear toss from the manager about his professionalism and commitment to the team. Cant ever see him being dropped tbh
If you have to change a winning team I say you make as little change as possible tbh. Enrqiue was a big enough miss, essentially we also missed N'zogbia today
Don't play players out of position but play Taylor, Duff or Edgar there?
Duff was going to be playing out of position with the initial starting 11 anyway I would imagine.
post fixed
The reason I mentioned Duff at LB was in counter to your argument that bringing on an attacker (Viduka) was the most sensible thing to do. (it clearly wasn't anyway, Viduka looks about as fit as your last shag)
We could have kept the same team, fine. But dont play your best players in the wrong position man.
When we people learn that he isn't a f***ing LB?
