So you want to move our main goal threat and top scorer by some distance further back down the pitch and away from the opposition goal? Total madness compounded by the fact that Wijnaldum, especially away from home has a tendency to go missing for long periods of games so playing him where you suggest would be suicidal. Thankfully even McClaren isn't stupid enough to do that.

Anyone thinking St James' Park is looking a bit tatty these days remember back to the old Gallowgate end bogs! 40 seconds in; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgnRNxZ8GTE&app=desktop

Don't want Gayle or Gomis, don't think they're good enough. Go all out for Remy now they've got Pato.
-
They were playing rush keeper as well. Darlow was in their half for 5 of the goals.
-
I heard they didn't even bother with goalposts and just put tracksuit tops down instead. They had Watmore stood in our goal the entire match and the little tinker kept making our goal bigger when no one was looking.

Well that sounds like a load of blatant lies. All local referees were busy with non-league games at 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon, that traditional kick off time. Yeah, most local referee's work full time and they have a number of midweek games at night time to referee in non-league football due to postponements from Christmas time. Aye but there weren't any non league games played last night.
-
Looks like Gomis is top of our strikers list now.

40 page thread (and counting) on this kick about over on RTG

I've got to be honest and say I couldn't care less about this. In fact I find it quite funny.
-
This 100%. Hardly the sort of character you want for a relegation battle.
-
Fair play to him though. A few people on here mentioned what a right tw*t Steve Harper was when out in public with a few stories of how arrogant he was. Thing with Shola is I've only ever heard what a top bloke he is off the football pitch. I wish him well, he's probably got a couple of years left in him playing at Championship level. In fact we might re sign him for our Promotion push next season.
-
I'd play him in that friendly against the mackems with the instructions to do what he wants.
-
Townsend on the left and Remy in place of Mitrovic and that looks quite interesting.
-
Obviously tongue in cheek but there'll be loads now who'll have that opinion for real, not being able to grasp that 8 years of chronic under investment has forced his hand and he'll now be sh*tting himself over the possibility of missing out on next seasons TV bonanza. Unfortunately for him, even if we do sign a striker, the manager he appointed to get the results needed clearly isn't capable of doing so.
-
We must be the unluckiest team in the world mind. We're tremendous every week but we always get beat. I'm confident our fortunes will change though when this horse we've all been waiting for gets stuck onto the cart.
-
Couldn't fault the players attitude either.
-
You will when Clattermole puts Wijnaldum out for the season with a neck high tackle.
-
Sky sources saying Leicester have turned down the chance to sign him on loan.
-
None of these so called better options have come in for him as yet and scoring 9 or 10 goals for us would surely give him more chance of going to the Euros than sitting on Chelsea's bench would. Puts himself in the shop window for the summer as well.
-
I think Remy's about the best we can hope for now. No £20m rated striker would touch us with a barge pole in our position and I suppose Remy would need to bang a few goals in to stand a chance of making Euro 2016 if nowt else.
-
If you think he played pretty well yesterday then you are very easily pleased. Average would be being generous to him. I thought he was poor.
-
Realistically the only team we have a chance of getting ahead of are Norwich but we also need to keep ourselves ahead of the Mackems who will no doubt put some sort of winning run together for the final half dozen games. Can't see any benefit in not sacking McClaren ASAP. He's taking us down and he's proved himself incapable of getting a team back out of the Championship as well so it's a double edged sword.
-
1 win in 10 league games for Everton. They'll be pleased we roll into town next.
-
For all Swansea's possession and passing, they haven't created much. Their penalty was an absolute gift and the second took a big deflection. We'll inevitably lose next week but it's misleading to paint Swansea as some superior, Barca-esque attacking force imo. I never said they were. I just said we won't go there and score twice. Do you disagree?
-
Can anyone else see us going to Everton a week on Wednesday and scoring twice in the 1st half? Nah me neither.
