We either need to buy players who suit the system he wants to play, or change the system to suit the players. It's a long season but we can't go too long hoping it will click

Still a better option on the left wing than Anita tbh

Did well enough considering the obvious hangover, it was hard enough reheating my kebab this morning in a similar condition

Teams have sussed us out already, we have to work out how to break teams down who sit back as it's going to happen every game. Need more pace and urgency, play direct instead of slowly playing out from the back.

Seemed to have a lack of options so regularly resorted to lofting a long range pass to Anita, etc... still a better option than Colback but not the answer

Signed squad players so far other than Ritchie and possibly Hayden. Need to get rid of Gouffran, Saivet, Rivière and the like and sign some quality first team players at LB, CM, LW and ST. Obvious to everyone.

Just seems to hit it in and hope someone is there rather than get his head up and aim for someone

Thing is, you can't really point the finger at the people who volunteered to wave them, as they could have left them there and someone else nick it afterwards. I did see a couple of people hand them to a steward. Can't understand why you'd want to nick one anyway tbh, they looked mint all together but they're just plain black n white flags. What's the plans if it hits £15k by the way?

Seems to play better on the break when he hasn't got time to think about it. Won't be playing on the break much this season. Needs to learn how to break teams down

If Ritchie wasn't fit enough to start I would have preferred to try Anita right back and Janmaat right wing

I work away in Hull and speaking to a few people down there he's like that all the time, lazy as fuck, goes missing most the match and then hits a screamer. Will get a few goals, but not a grafter

Ritchie tore into him a couple of times. Gave the ball away before their second iirc and was hauled off not long after? Same useless cross every time. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gamez to start in midweek

Always thought he was decent, but needs to be coming off the bench at most, hardly seen anything from him to suggest otherwise so far

Ritchie looked a class above anyone else on the pitch today

Come and get me plea if ever I heard one.

Right, the "crest" on that flag is the cap badge of the Royal Engineers (don't know what swivel wrench is for) and the battle honor they/we have is "Ubique" witch means "Everywhere",so a miss-translation as well as a misspelling. As an ex Royal Enigineer etc. Sorry though this was M-O When did the witch get involved? Scene 1 Act 1 with two of her mates iirc ?

Really looking forward to it, few beers then shall be taking my seat at 2.30 sharp ☻☹☻☹☻

Probably starting to dawn on him that he should have put a bit of effort in for the past few seasons

Any word how many of the flags are being distributed?

Odds on him going on strike before the window closes?
