Mike assimilating himself into Trump's America.

The outsiders will never get it. Until you've been Pards'd you cannot truly appreciate how good it feels to watch him fail.

Is Kodi still going strong for sport? It went through a bad patch a little while back so I gave in.

It'd be like this: *contains tits* EDIT: Fantastic tits.

Those poor bastards, man.

Maybe he had too much Thanksgiving turkey hahahaha

It's fucking grim like.

Aye, I don't think Merino was great in the first half but having to play Diame is obviously going to fucking crucify us.

Lascelles been out looks massive like. We've went from a really steady side to a side that ships goals every time someone nonces a half decent ball into the box. Regardless of how I view his subs or his insistence on playing what I believe to be an actual ghost up front I think we're probably sitting on ateast 3 more points over the past few games if he's fit.

Such a shame Yedlin was just off like, that pass was ridiculous. Clever ball to win the freekick for our 2nd too.

Based on that game, really?

Don't think it's as simple as that. Shelvey in particular had good reasons for being dropped. He was alongside Diame like. I don't think he's done a great deal wrong recently and remains our most dangerous player in open play imo. He needs a good partner like.

Annoying as West Brom were really bad but obviously a great point from 2 down. Fuck this rotation shite in midfield like, just play Shelvey and Merino from the off. Throw Joselu into the sea.

That's De Bruyne shit from Shelvey

I'd still play him ahead of Manquillo, but he's been shit defensively tonight. I wanted him in but he's been bad like.

Is Rafa feeling alright?

As much as I wanted Mbemba in Phillips has tortured us all night down that flank.

A tangible reason is probably needed because 'shit defending, then more shit defending' isn't good enough and you can't criticise the players that replaced Elliot and Manquillo, because then that would mean their replacements aren't any good either. Joselu's the only one left from the really disliked players, so most comments have featured him despite him being nowhere near to blame for anything aside from one misplaced pass and simply not being good enough. Think comments about Joselu are cos he's playing and being crap again. Not much depth needed. Aye. Saying Joselu is shite and shouldn't be in the pitch doesn't mean we're losing because of him. He's just shite and shouldn't be on the pitch.

Decent play the 3 defenders bewildered by a ball coming into the box again.

I love the bloke, but he's not doing great at all recently. I obviously don't want him to leave or out.

5 loses in a row. Rafa = Pardew levels of incompetence. Not his fault fat mike refused to invest in the team over the summer Agreed, but Rafa is making some shocking team selections in this run. Team selections aside, the state of our first touch and awareness, movement is awful. What the fuck is going on in training, surely that lays solely at his feet. This was happening all last season too even against awful Champ sides. Most of our players are just shite on the ball, I don't think there's a great deal we can do in training to sort that. Fair point, as much as i hate to say it Rafa has to shoulder some blame for this run mind. Without doubt. No matter what losing 4 in a row is down to the manager to some degree. 5 in a row is inarguable imo.

I don't think anyone has said we should have went at them? Most seem in agreement that we need to go back to basics. That's fucked now though because of some rancid defending.
