Sissoko is the only French player trying to do anything, best player so far. Price tag going up, maybe 4m by now.

This absolutely. The downside of 4231 is only playing one striker and asking others to play in positions they are uncomfortable with. If Mitro is going to play the forward role, them Gayle and Ayoze are both probably going to play wide, neither are wingers.

I picked Colback as a protest vote

Where is the no fucker they are all a bunch of wankers option?

Good detective work there.

He's not the only one that I don't know what position he plays or is any good at anyhow. Perez, Shelvey and Anita haven't shown that they can play particularly well in any of their favourite positions.

The dreaded 4-2-3-1 with Sissoko wide on the right, rather than the far more entertaining 4-3-3.

L'Equipe reckon in place of Coman though somebody has replaced Kante for sure. Against Iceland Pogba and Matuidi should be enough in midfield

In place of Coman. Hope he has a blinder and we sell him for 50 million!!

Southampton maybe, but West Brom no fucking way

Fuck me there are some dumb ass keyboard warriors on here sometimes. Pardew is a shit manager for sure but he didn't get us relegated, fat mike with his ridiculous appointments did. I know it's fashionable to attack TCD on here but he's entitled to his opinion and he's no more right or wrong than most people. Although Palace are a more attractive proposition than us next season, I dont think anyone is disputing that they are a shitty little club, with a dick of a manager and that Townsend is not only pretty stupid but he turns out to be a disloyal cunt. What a surprise.

We have no idea how much influence Carr has and we never have had. The club have never told us, Carr has never told us and none of the idiot managers we have had have told us. It's all just speculation and conjecture, as is believing Rafa has 100 % control on who leaves and who joins. We hope he has but unless he publicly states it's the case we are guessing again. Pretty sure he didn't want Townshend to leave....

Why would anyone want to keep Krul? I've never seen a worse footballing goalkeeper in my life. There is a reason why Raina played for Rafa and its because his distribution from the back was outstanding, Krul's is horrendous.

The Rafa effect is hiding the reality of what happens when you get relegated. Your best players leave and they get replaced by ones you've never heard of. Just have to hope that they are going to be good enough.

The bottom line is that most of the players are just not really very good, though because they are high profile and play in the Premier League people seem to think they are. Hart, well we've just seen how hopeless he can be. Rose and Walker are good athletes poor footballers. We knew that Cahill and Smalling were weak, it didn't even take a good team to show it. Rooney in centre midfield somebody is having a joke, and yet nobody said anything. Wilshire shouldn't have been picked, neither should have Sterling, Lallana is all puff and no smoke, Sturridge everything that is wrong with the modern footballer. Kane looked fucked and taking corners and free kicks please. Alli a lost little boy. Vardy left on the bench, Rashford who maybe a player not given a chance. A royal Roy fuck up for sure, but most of the players don't measure up at International level at all.

You're english? Yes

I really want Iceland to hang on and win, strange really how much I dislike the England football team

Not a patch on the Argie totty at the match last night

The referee is not great, but the players are hardly helping. It's a typical Latin American bad tempered pathetic fuck up.

We should definitely go after him, miles better than any of our midfielders.

Ludicrously boring games today.

Appalling idea to have 24 teams in the tournament.

How is Hodgson in any way similar to Pardew? Nice bloke vs pardew, tries to play decent football vs pardew, is honest in interviews vs pardew. He's a shit manager no more no less.

It will be glorious if Iceland knock us out, we'd get rid of the Pardew of International football at the same time.

Very lucky to be there after the Hazard level of shite he came up with this season.
