Ronaldo

We know, dude.

I did.

We all know he doesn't, to be fair.

Aye, I've seen the picture. Seems pretty harmless to me.

What was it?

Moderate in your opinions as always. Our national anthem may be unexciting, but it has a beginning, a middle and an end and flows fairly naturally in between. What?

He was pretty decent in the Championship. I won't deny that.

Ours is the worst of the worst.

Don't think it's sensible bringing Jonas into this discussion, like. When a winger goes over 50 games without an assist and scores 5 PL goals in 5 years I'd say the only hyperbole is coming from those defending him.

Do I really have to dig out a post where I said Tiote is only worth playing when we're really up against it? Move on, Mojo.

I just did, you idiot.

Based on what, by the way?

I never said 'all aspects' as far as I'm aware. I've consistently maintained that there's a place for him in certain fixtures.

Or not, because they're totally irrelevant to this.

Who else would you be agreeing with? Baba?

Someone like Enrique who excels at dealing with players running at him would've been perfect for letting Hatem off the leash. I'm not saying it's easily done, mind but it screams of poor, lazy scouting to me.

Just a shame that as per usual we weren't prepared to buy a player fit for the purpose of getting the best out of our existing lot. Such a shortsighted approach.

The above is basically right.

He's shit at the things I look for in a midfielder.

Steady on. As per usual the praise on here for Dummett was incredibly OTT but that's incredibly harsh.

Good, because I wholeheartedly believe that you're wrong and will look forward to you possibly admitting it. what bothers me about your opinion is that you won't accept that external factors may have had a major influence on him looking so shit, he's just shit and that it As I've said a million times on here, he has very little of what I look for in a midfielder. It's that simple. No coincidence to me whatsoever that we play much, much better football with Anita on the pitch in his place.

Stand by everything I said there. When he fits my definition of a good midfielder I'll hold my hands up. Thing is with Tiote, if we win nobody gives a shit how he's actually played because it's just taken for granted that he's helped us see the game out. Good performance.

I'd hardly call playing your captain and best centre-back mental mind. Williamson's not the answer and it's a bit harsh, but Colo back now with Mbiwa right-back, then Debuchy back with Mbiwa & Colo (ie, our best back four) is what we should be aiming for. Mbiwa and Colo will never be the answer, man. Accident waiting to happen playing them together.
