Ronaldo

I still don't think what he's being told in the dressing room can be held accountable for his total lack of awareness, touch and passing ability. Even on his very best day (which we haven't seen in over a year) he adds to the overall lack of creativity and goals.

Because we needed a better, more expensive replacement, like Obertan.

WR doesn't look much different to me. He always had it in him and absolutely lit it up for us against poor opposition. Always looked more of a 4-3-3 player than a working wide man in a rigid 4-4-2, mind.

Of course there is, which is why I want us to sign him, or someone similar.

He still gets clapped on like he's Solskjaer or something. Utter joke.

Tiote wants to press and Cabaye want too much time on the ball to make the pass and/or doesn't trust Tiote as the last man is how I read it. I've said a million times on here that they don't compliment each other at all and frankly the situation is getting worse. We do need replacements for several first teamers in the summer and he's one of them.

We haven't even been playing that much long ball stuff recently, tbh. Far too convenient to suggest that, we're just often playing crap for a variety of reasons. Funnily enough we actually played more 'hoofball' when we were less suited to it - ie playing 4-4-2 with nobody to make the runs from midfield that Sissoko does.

I think this is general consensus here. He's a likeable guy, he's just not a good enough manager for us if we want to challenge for Europe every season for at least top half. Yep. Though I am starting to dislike him on a personal level for his refusal to hold his hands up.

We're getting more points and actually playing better football, so I don't know how.

It's mostly a stamina thing with Cabaye. He had a poor run of games like this last season but managed to recover.

The corners are a liability most of the time. It's incredible.

Who isn't? Even people who don't follow the Premier League except for odd games have been sending messages to me taking the piss as Di Canio was all over the Swedish newspapers sportspage. No doubting you or your loyalty for a second, man.

Quality. TT's OK. We're all just a bit pissed off still.

I do think that too many of that lot had no clue what the game meant or the type of pace it was going to be played at, mind. As has been said though, Debuchy, Sissoko and Marveaux in particular showed unquestionable effort.

You'd hope not. The lad's an awful, awful footballer but he's always been a great guy and a model pro.

Would perhaps help that he used to play for us, though.

Lose the next 2 and surely the knives come out for him at SJP which will spell the beginning of the end.

Brothers, we're all in this together, stop with the finger pointing and recriminations.

At least two Who? Felliani is top scorer. They don't have anybody else in the top 20. They have 5 players on 5 goals or more in the league including Jelavic and Felliani who have 18 between them. We've got two - Cisse and Cabaye.

That's hardly surprising considering how negative we are. Agreed, but none of them have track records of doing it, either. It's inexcusable that Shola fucking Ameobi comes on when we need a goal.

At least twice as many as us.

It really is a joke. We've got one goalscorer in the entire squad, man.

How? Let me guess: Throwing darts at pictures of Lambias, Fat Ash and Pardew, or sticking pins in effigies of those three, or perhaps shaking your fist at Fat Ashley in his helicopter? Face facts, we're all totally impotent as far as the current regime goes. The only way to let off steam is to go down the gym and punch something, kick the cat, dog, wife etc, or whinge on forums or with mates down the boozer. tbf to Ronaldo, he once made a heroic and goose bump raising appearance on MOTD berating Williamson after he'd done something rubbish. He's a man of action. What a memory, man. Fair play. If people feel that strongly, make it known. It was made known to Allardyce and he was gone weeks later. Not quite the same thing but better than just posting the same old stuff on here.

Sig worthy, mate.
