He gets us to sit back on a 1-0 again. He brings on Perch for Marveaux. He brings on Bigi for Cabaye.
These are the acts of man that is desperate to be sacked and I truly - from the bottom of my heart - hope he is.
I've been hovering at 4 or 5 for a while now but you can't defend today. It's a cast iron, stone wall 10 and it looks like we're going in style.
I used to doubt how much a manager affected things - always used to think it was negligable and he could only do so much. The last 3 months have proved me wrong. Managers have a HELL of an effect and ours is single handedly dragging us down.
Best we've played all season by miles, should be 2 or 3 up. Very happy with things so far, though 1-0 is always a nervous score.
Cabaye, Anita and Marveaux have been absolutely superb.
He'll mess this one up, you can tell by that team sheet. The right answer stares him in the face and he continues to pick the overwhelmingly wrong one. Hoping this is reverse psychology...
I hate that Shola's playing but I don't think it's much worse than Obertan. I'm firmly in the 'Win or Resign' camp today - for me, it can be no other way.
My wildcard has been used, say hello to team 'the Juan that Matas':
Cech
Sagna Nastasic Demel
Fellaini Walcott Michu Mata
Van Persie P Cisse Fletcher
BENCH: Pollitt, B Davies, Mangane, Lennon
The snow is properly flying in the city centre, like.
I'd like this to go ahead - even if a rearranged match had our players back, we need momentum and fast.
