Ronaldo

I get loyalty to him as he’s largely been a good signing but you can’t honestly think that? He was shit.

He’s static as hell mind. He’s 31 so we can’t expect Craig Bellamy but he’s been so easy to defend against since the WC.

Is Darlow still second choice at 16th placed Championship Club Hull? Says everything you need to know about him. Karius is a much better keeper.

Well said. Time to persevere with him.

Not at all. I think the bigger picture is largely positive but I’m disappointed with today and the January window, as most people are. Sorry you feel the need to get personal.

Easily amused. Hope you’re well.

Happy to admit I absolutely adored Rafa like any fan with half of brain would but I didn’t write off Howe. As I said, I think he’s done a top job.

At no point did I write off Howe. Happy to admit he’s been a lot better than I thought and has my total respect for the job he’s done.

He’s just a gap in the team at the moment. I don’t really blame him, he’s doing his best but he’s just terrible at holding the ball up and isn’t looking like scoring. Time to give Isak the responsibility and buy someone in summer.

We had a massive chance which I don’t think we’ll get next season and didn’t double down, that’s all.

ASM is a much easier target than Wilson. We’re historically more critical of maverick French wingers than strikers who don’t score. Unsure why.

As are you, spending the past few weeks telling everyone they’ve got no right to be critical of the transfer window. Allow people their correct opinions without getting personal.

He was fine. Not his fault remotely. Be happy to sack off Dubravka and have him as our number 2.

Pope isn’t a striker mate.

It’s factual. We’ve been utterly abysmal at scoring for 2 months. If you’re ok with that good for you but unfortunately it’s what decides games.

Statistically we are. Sorry.

I’d love to be positive about our league form but realistically we could’ve played for 4 hours there and wouldn’t have scored. We’ve been the worst team in the league going forward for a couple of months now and we don’t have the playing staff to change it. The window was a massive chance to be proactive and we didn’t take it.

100%. Would be easier to see past if Wilson wasn’t repeatedly failing to attack the ball and hold it up to any reasonable standard.

Make your own luck. We’ve got a squad severely lacking real quality in the final third which hasn’t been properly addressed in the last 3 windows post-takeover.

They’ve got quality where it matters sadly and we don’t. Our goal threat is laughable.

I hope he’s been told privately that he’s playing well in advance. This Karius or Gillespie question has wound me up a bit this week given the latter is unquestionably atrocious to the point I’d abandon all hope for a result.

Only thing that worries me, if he's anything approaching a good keeper why was he below both Dubravka and Darlow in Howe's pecking order? It's a bit of damning indictment of how he's considered. On the other hand, he must be better than Darlow. I just refuse to believe he isn't.

To be fair, they’ve been in top form since the end of August. They’re really good at winning games even when they’re not quite functioning at their best. I can see us giving them a really good game but failing to score.

We’ve got dynamic players throughout the team. We’re crying out for class and goal threat.

Because it’s onside. They got it wrong.
