Ronaldo

Really not loved a player this much since Robert.

Probably makes sense to keep the only goalscorer in the squad on the field, like. I win.

Can't remember Cabaye playing worse than this.

I don't really see a lack of effort, just presence and ability.

As much as I hate Duff he gets the ball, keeps it and generally puts a decent ball in. If I only watched us every week I'd not know that such players exist.

Same old shit. The players with physical presence don't create and the midgets go missing.

Yorkie the expert on muscles.

Saving him for Sunlun. I can dig that shit.

I'd happily take 4-4-2 today. Cisse gets very little with Jonas and Gouffran next to him.

Golden opportunites, man. Load of nonsense. He has 6 in 14 as a striker since your hero was sold and should've had another 2 at home to Metalist.

Hodgson got it so, so wrong in that game.

I feel pretty conflicted. Part of me likes him, appreciates his tenacity and the way he conducts himself and wants him to get another season - especially when considering a replacement would possibly/probably make things worse. A bigger part of me thinks he's just never going to be up to it tactically. He gets far too much criticism on here, mind, a lot of which is due to the nasty habit we have as NUFC supporters of overrating our players.

No idea why you'd play Sissoko deeper than Cabaye, like.

He's a good player alright. I've wanted us to sign him for years. Not a starter but will always make things happen in the right circumstances.

Drags another team right into it I guess.

Why have those players been poor all season? Is it not the manager’s responsibility to make sure the players are performing? The poor performances of Colo and Tiote in particular this season go way beyond what they're being told in the dressing room.

I didn't "Just mention good players who we've had since January." What's left is a few good players, injured players and players who've been poor all season. Doesn't help your case one bit.

This I agree with, tbh. Apart from them being pleasing to the eye, which they rarely are.

Amazes me that there's any real debate about Cisse, like. Play him centrally, give him service and he'll always score and open up space for others.

That makes it alright, then. Just mention good players who we've had since January - and who having us looking far better. Petty by a 20-year-old's standards.

Aye, I forgot that we've been shit because we've been forced to play James Perch. We've won 4 out of 8 league games with Sissoko on the field and won 2 European ties yet you're using him as a reason we should be further from relegation. Doesn't make much sense.

We've got plenty of international/class players. Highly rated, not just by us, but people looking from a neutral view. Wasn't especially on about the trophy winning stuff, but to suggest we're overrating our players - not having it, like. Just look at Mick's post, man. Some of those players only signed 8 league games ago - 4 of which we won. Ben Arfa's been missing for most of the season and players like Anita, Tiote and Colo have been poor by any team's standards. The squad's still a work in progress.

We usually have 11 players on the pitch at any given time. And when James perch has played 3 times the amount of games that Sissoko has your list doesn't quite look as pertinent.
