Mido making an observation that both managers are playing this game in phases. Both trying to keep it tight in the first half and will most likely introduce Taarabt, Duff, Cabaye and Remy in the second half to go for the win.

Francis hates us with a passion.

Fuck off Parker you ballerina twat.

aw come on, just get that final part right

Yup. Have to say our approach play has been very good so far. That last bit just isn't coming off.

HBA with the ball there, and Santon standing beside him watching. Make a run for he through ball man! FFS

Howay man with this shite freekick routine. Any half decent manager will see that and tell his team to foul us in our own half and they'll get the ball back.

Mbiwa has mopped up everything today. Wonder if CD is watching the match.

Get in there Debuchy and Anita.

Fucks sake HBA. just give it man.

MYM again

Mbiwa is so classy man. Him and Colo at the heart of defence looks great.

Ameobi holding the ball up well so far.

Elliott is a an alright back-up keeper. That's about it.

 

Kept us in the game down at Morecambe. L2 or PL, he pulled off some great point blank saves.

 

Yeah, but you expect all keepers to be good shot stoppers. He's lacking quite a bit in other areas.

FWIW I was agreeing with you. He's nee worldie but he'll do the job on the odd occasion. I for one was all for signing Zoet seeing as Krul seems to be injured a bit more than we would have liked.

I came back from Carlisle yesterday. But I didn't make a thread about it.

Piss off back to Carlisle then Oakie

This fella along with Coloccini and Ben Arfa is the diamond in this rough. If he gets peddled, it will well and truly mean that we are now small time as a small fuck.

Haidara. Has got a pleasant disposition about him, and he's a cultured individual.

He looks a bag of nerves at the minute which is understandable considering the situation he was thrust into when he signed. He spent most of last season playing alongside a bright orange bloke who got his name wrong, waved his arms about like he had a medical condition and tried to flog him Herbalife gear.

 

He'll be fine in a few months, probably once we sack that useless t*** of a manager.

:lol: :lol:

You on about the sending off against real madrid? How in the hell was that a 50/50?

exactly. Also Marveaux got booked last night putting a tackle in.

Cheers oracle

So, do we actually know that he's refused to play? At any point?

 

Nope.

But let's all hate on the frog anyway.

Half a dozen reasons why he hasn't made it here, some down to us, him and bad luck , but he's finished IMO, can't even make any kind of impact against Morecambe, he's done, time to let him go.

It's incredibly sad but true. Probably the most promising youngster we have had since Krul.

Think Dummy and Sammy definitely deserve a chance on Saturday. Debuchy won't be dropped. Think he might go with 4-4-2, Shola and Cisse up top. Can see him playing Gosling as I thought he did pretty well last night.

 

                        Krul

Debuchy    Colo    MYM      Dummet

HBA        Sissoko    Gosling    Sammy

                Shola      Cissse

 

My predicted line up (but not my preferred)

No chance Santon is getting dropped like! He was fantastic against WH.

A good manager would shepherd Sammy's mindset and prepare him correctly for Fulham, and give him a start. The goal will have given him a world of confidence and if harnessed correctly, could be the making of a player. This week could be vital to his future as a PL player, and he's unlucky that we have an international break after this.

Come on Pards, do right by Sammy and by the club ffs. Must start against Fulham. It's imperative that he does.

Needless to say it would also show the other fringe players that if they perform they get in the side.
