Carrick - can't see that happening.

Had good game today, i really like the lad, its a bit unfair that we are counting so much on him when he's 21 and at a new league for him.

I think sometimes you forget he's only 21.  He's only going to get better.

Good game today.

He was involved in everything we did. Ran at them, went looking for the ball, worked hard. Had our best effort in the first half too.

 

He's no HBA like but he's a good player.

He wanted the ball but didn't do a lot with it.  Lost it quite a few times when taking people on.  He was far from MOTM -- That'd be Tiote for me.

Apart from the shot that hit the post I don't understand why people are raving about him.

 

I didn't think he was poor but he wasn't great either.

My thoughts exactly.

Made some great last ditch tackles today.

Was immense today,needs his mohawk back.

He was immense and to think some were happy for him to be sold. Him and Shelvey seem to work well. 

Looked canny overweight when he came on today - certainly didn't look a £21Mil+ player

I refuse to believe he'll be replaced. Probably be allowed to stay in charge in the Championship if we go down.

He's a ready made Championship manager.

His away record is highly concerning. What the f*** does he do on these trips?

He's won 25 Premier League away games in his career, out of 107 (23%).

..but he's cheap..

Has he spoke yet?

We must be the only club that sacks mangers to take a backwards/sidewards step. Chronic.

We just seem incapable of hiring a decent one (as they cost money)

Come on Ashley...Mourinho is free...

I know everyone has different opinions on players but I really dont understand how anyone thinks Townsend is any good. He must have played 50/60 Premier league games so people must have seen he's no good.

 

Agree with this, seen nothing from him the last 2/3 years to show he's even PL class.  Also spurs fans were pissing themselves they got 12m for him.

He's a McLaren signing through and through

I think Ashley might sack him if we lose on Saturday.

Would be too late then, needs to go now

He's Lee's mate - Steve's going nowhere.

That miss...

We can't score and we can't defend - neither were addressed in Jan. We're down.

At least he still wanted the ball. That's about it.

I'll give him that - also there was zero movement - he had nothing to pass to in the 1st half.  When Mitro came on he feed a couple of decent balls to him.

I've never rated him - had 3 month purple patch and has been riding on that his whole career.

Tactically we were awful.  And you can't blame that on lack of signings.

We are going down. Absolutely nailed on.

Why?  Just let him go...the game was gone

Sounds like a confident lad.

 

Give it a month or so.

Think today will have done the job.

That's what happens when you play a winger at LB. Rubbish challenge.

Yep......plus no Striker = 0 goals
