Ronaldo

They nicked his (Isak’s) gangster wagon and abandoned it just outside Medburn.

20 goals in 2 seasons is world class now? Really?

He’s a temperamental character. Long term I’m far more worried about the fact teams have now figured out you just show him the line on the left and he’s ineffective.

Running theme at SJP and beyond that we’re significantly lesser, especially going forward, in the second half of games. If Eddie has one glaring weakness, it’s that for someone who pretty much only plays 4-3-3, he seems to have no answer to how you get a midfield 3 functioning in tandem with each other to dictate the pace and direction of the game. Even our fantastic winning run was primarily based on Isak scoring for fun and some plucky defending at the other end.

Fernandes is such a difference maker.

Really sick of reading / hearing his name, tbh.

For our league season not to be deemed a failure I think he has just about his toughest challenge to date to be honest. 5th / 6th is there for the taking but we just consistently look out of ideas, one dimensional and vulnerable at home.

Agreed.

He’s not a possession manager and never will be, though. We’ve always known that.

I really don’t think there’s much a motivation problem. The approach is just so inherently predictable and we lack guile.

We’re so easy to figure out for smart progressive managers like Hurzeler and have been for a while. Never liked our chances for this. Isak is the big equaliser obvs but he wasn’t fully fit and missed the final 40 mins where the drop off was clear for all to see.

Meaning what? I don’t lay into our players, especially players who’ve been so bloody brilliant for so long.

Do you never think about taking a minute before you post this rubbish?

Happened more than once, yes. To my mum also who was sworn at with her Ashley Out banner.

Same

They were told to shut up and support tha team. Didn’t do much good.

A B at worst? Bit over the top.

How could he be a scapegoat for this season? He literally hasn’t contributed since the spring.

I’d rather be cautious. We simply cannot afford to lose him for the cup final and the remaining league games. Totally get if he’s not risked at the weekend too.

Steady on. He’s missed about 3 in 30 games of football or thereabouts.

Not even a booking for either.

Not so sure. Eddie, as much as I’d back his judgment on players he’s worked with for so long, has a real blind spot where Wilson is concerned.

Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti et al are wrong; 1981 is correct.

To be fair we’ve had a fair few second halves like that this season - maybe not quite as bad as that. It’s bizarre.

We’re clearly getting one tbh, so I wouldn’t worry.
