Away Toon

We also look incredibly fragile the sort of team that could go on a long streak of not winning games even in this shit league.

Fuck knows what and why Rafa sits there writing things in his notebook all game.

Well the first 38 seconds were okay but after that what a load of shite, QPR by far the better team and there you go the goal they deserved.

Lascelles, Perez and Hayden have all been shocking so far.

Beautiful cross earlier from Ritchie that Gouffran didn't attack, and Hayden jogging around in midfield rather than jumping on everything that moves like Kante, apart from that a good first five minutes. Since then QPR have looked like scoring on a couple of occasions.

We have Darlow, Ritchie, Shelvey and Gayle who might be good enough for us to survive in the premiership, though there are justified doubts about all of them. The rest of the squad is nailed on relegation fodder like the last time. IMO.

I think we need 7 new starters and that's presuming that the four we currently have who might be good enough in the Premiership actually are.

The thing is nobody cares but the supporters, the club doesn't, the manager certainly doesn't and neither do the players. It would be much easier for us all if we didn't care either.

Well Klopp got what he deserved with that selection, SFA.

It's just disrespectful to pick a team like that. For the FA Cup, for the club and especially for the supporters. Klopp has done the same hopefully they lose.

Hopefully we are going to cherry pick players from the relegated teams and teams at the bottom, both Robertson and Maguire would be upgrades on what we currently have.

How Rafa can keep picking Dummett is as baffling as him keeping picking Colback.

Rotherham looking far more dangerous.

Anybody swap Howe for Rafa?

Irrespective of whether you are in the Rafa is God camp like most on here, or he's not that good and the football we play is the living proof of that, why the fuck does he continue to pick Colback?

Got what we deserved there

Goal coming................

Fortunately very few of our games get shown where I am, however this one is and it's rank. Are we normally this bad?

So we are playing a shit Forest team with up to 10 players injured or suspended, at home on a Friday night with a sold out expectant crowd, and we are going to pick an extremely attacking team and go all out ridge on them from the second the whistle blows. That's what KK would have done anyhow.

Ah the good old constructive criticism from the educated masses. I know nobody is allowed to criticise Rafa but he really does need to grow some balls.

Well somebody needs to say it, Rafa's boring 4-2-3-1 is not only tedious to watch it's proving to be increasingly ineffective especially against any one half decent. Our managers tactical inflexibility not only makes us horrible to watch but could cost us promotion out of a frankly terrible league. What's worse for this system to work if we do go up, we are going to have to spend a fortune and upgrade virtually the entire squad. So not only is Rafa's football tedious and predictable he insists of playing Gouffran instead of Atsu, Anita instead of Yedlin, and he picks Dummett and Colback apparently believing that they are capable footballers. Add in that he won't play two up front and Im in the distinctly unimpressed category. If he left tomorrow I quite honestly wouldn't care. May the onslaught begin.

So even with boring Rafa Benitez as manager and all that money spent we're still shit.

Any team with Anita, Dummett, Colback and Gouffran in it is going to be pretty shit it just about any league.

Sheffield Wednesday far better than we are, who would have thought it?

As Sunderland have no money, maybe we should try and get Pickford and Kone in January?
