Ronaldo

Hence why I don't think we'll go up. Honeymoon period well and truly fucking over as far as I'm concerned. 7000 fans down there on a Friday night and that's what he serves up.... He's had a fucking whole summer to know Colback, Anita, Dummet aren't up to the job. We need to win around 20 of our home games and 10 away to go up. We'll do it.

We can expect to see a lot more of this, by the way. Him choosing the 11 almost exclusively with stopping the opposition in mind, as opposed to just putting out the players that theoretically should function the best together.

Nah, it's stupid to say he was terrible. As you say, he looked what he is. Average Championship CB.

A fairly wide open 4-4-2 saw us dick everything in sight in the latter half of our last Championship season. Just saying.

That's a ridiculous comment on so many levels, man.

Aye. Come to think of it it's also a shame we don't have Wijnaldum or Townsend to play instead of Anita.

He was pretty awful tonight, like. Looked like he was running through treacle and far too reliant on his tackling to get out of trouble.

He was awful tonight, like. He's just not a striker in a million years and will always struggle in such a role.

Leave that dog alone man.

He looks alright. I don't like us playing with DMs, though. I'd like to see us play Diame and Shelvey (if Sissoko leaves) with either Perez or de Jong just in front.

Like Villa away we should've been pressing from the first minute. We didn't for some reason and handed the game to the opposition. I'm not sure why.

I was at 12 by about 28 minutes. I don't dislike Anita half as much as the likes of Colback but we'll get nowhere playing him.

I love Rafa but Christ did he get that all wrong.

One save from their keeper all game, by the way. Pitiful. Thought the worst when I saw 2 (or even 3) sitting midfielders in the lineup. You do that in this division you're asking for a scrappy game decided by 1 goal.

He's by a distance our best player, so yeah, we could do with him, like.

What's this about not shaking Rafa's hand?

Keep it tight, we've spent 40 odd million, they've sold their best players and I am Rafa Fucking Benitez probably went through his mind.

Ritchie will absolutely piss all over this league like no other.

What's making Lascelles captain got to do with Mbemba's omission?

I'd like to see two up front personally. Fortunately we've got Mitro to come back and Rafa knows we need to buy another striker.

Lacking penetration, like. Perez isn't a striker and it's leaving Gayle to essentially the make the runs of two men and guess which.

We've just bought him, chill out What? :lol:

Pitiful stuff, like. Speaks volumes that players from Bournemouth and Palace look head and shoulders above everyone else in our shirt. Anita at RW, though, man.

Gayle's been very good in isolation and Perez isn't a striker. We need more attacking players, it's as simple as that.

Man you don't half talk some shit.
