Sho Time

Quite simply, he has. Scored goals for us when Rafa came in, especially in vital games such as Norwich/Sunderland, even off the bench. This season he's also started both of our 6-0 wins, he's only not scored twice this season when he's started and he's been playing well for the team. Also been bashing them in for his NT too.

Being polite.

Because Mike Ashley would NEVER fork out 100k+ per week for one players wages.

Since Rafa came in Mitro has looked excellent for us in the majority of games and done the business. He's clearly not fancied for reason we can only speculate to, but in terms of what he offers us and his ability in comparison to every other striker in the league, he'd be banging them in IMO. It's immensely frustrating to see Rafa persevering with Gayle on his own in games where he is crowded out and it's not like we really have goals in abundance from any other part of the pitch. We could do with Mitro's combatative style and ability to take defenders out of the game to free up space for Gayle. While he's here, game time would be handy as I think it would be beneficial to us as a team, and also in terms of ensuring we get as much money as possible if Rafa does want to get rid.

Death by firing squad pls.

I think I lost a few braincells after that.

Such an immensely talented footballer and a total waste of a career (although probably not in his eyes, like).

I do agree to a certain extent on his short passing, I mainly based the awareness thing on the number of times I've seen his fullback overlap with a threatening run and he's just ignored them completely and cut inside as per.

He'd be an OK squad option but he appears to be completely one-dimensional and easy to figure out. Seems to have little awareness of the play around him and just focuses on his own runs to cut inside and shoot at every opportunity and rarely goes outside of his man to whip the ball in. He looks really good in this league against inferior players but I don't know if he could take that to the PL.

Aye, for example great idea to play nobody up front if Gayle, Perez and Mitrovic are injured and/or suspended at the same time. May as well have a 100 man squad then With our historic injury problems, it's not a bad thought.

Aye, when Mbemba goes away on AFCoN duty we only need Clark and Lascelles. No need for a 3rd wheel.

We're in the Championship and he's bought squad players. Hanley - Blackburn's captain and most important player Murphy - Ipswich's best player Gamez - Versatile Atletico Madrid defender who's only played 2 games (?) Diame - Best player aside from Snodgrass from Hull who we were all actually happy with as Sissoko's replacement Agree on Sels, there's 1. All in all, a fantastic SQUAD for the Championship.

That's hilarious. Love how the goalkeeper tries to take a punt at him for it as well.

Is Delph fit but just not getting a game, or is he still ridiculously hampered by injuries ?

Sam with his um bongo and curly wurly

Is anyone going to own up and admit they sent anonymous messages of support to Tubes saying they agree Barkley is fat?

Argh! The hurt! Like a dagger to the heart!

Fucks going on here, has someone decided Anita is our best player because he can play RB, LB & CM? It's good, but it's not quite Ryan Taylor.

Not really, there's still idiots out there defending him and the national media have yet to fully digest his shitness, there's still more that can be seen. This was too soon.

Howe again.

He's always been capable but prior to the last 3 games just didn't look like he could show it which was immensely frustrating. I'm glad he's starting to turn it round.

The game as a whole was dull but our quality and ruthlessness in this league shone through enough to get the 2 goals. Not arsed at all about the manner of the performance too much as points are the most important thing and to get a win at Wigan with our record there is great.

Hilariously unprofessional, proper 'little man' syndrome there. So close to outrightly saying "fuck off" after Sutton said he was jealous as well.

That Michael McGovern is a fucking horrendous goalkeeper, like. Worse than Sels.
