Nothing new this. 0-3 West Ham at home and Everton last game of last season.

He has never looked comfortable in the air the whole time he has been here.

The problem is we are just not potent enough for how we want to play. If you concede as many as you score there’s kinda a limit on what’s achievable. Too many players are incapable of consistently performing to a high level.

Remember when Colo booted Ba in the nose?

Would prefer to put our money towards Barnetta.

Ugarte be kidding me.

Doesn’t really say a lot. Doesn’t even say if the structures have improved or altered. Just that getting rid of Howe might be a necessary part of restructuring because…well why not? Seems to be piss all point in signing players that aren’t wanted by the manager. For some that will mean get rid of the manager, when it shouldn’t. Managers been happy to work with Brunos and Sandros and Halls and Livramentos and Botmans and Isaks. Added value to every player he’s worked with more or less.

Raised the standards at the club exponentially and a fantastic defender to boot.

Can put you up again Stephen.

Totti cam please.

He’s woltemade his bed.

Are those the most damning quotes like

I’m glad we went with the worlds fastest growing hydration brand, rather than any of those other losers.

Would be all over us doing a 2010's Shakhtar and signing Brazilian flair players for a mecurial side.

Aye 24 years which is wild. They’ve tended to be one of the funner sides at the euros. Romania last there in 1998.

Turkey are always good value.

If they did decide to go with the Asian Federation's next placed loser then provided they lost the inter-federation play off against Bolivia....

Italy are the highest ranked team not at the World Cup. Of course they may promote a team from Iran's federation.

1) No. we have played with a back five not infrequently this season. We played with a two at times with Wilson and Isak. I would say that 4-3-3 has been the default but other formations have been used. 2) at Bournemouth he played a 4-4-2 4-4-1-1. 3)It didn’t stop us from signing Bruno, Isak or Lewis Hall who are amongst the best technical players to have represented the club in recent memory.

This is just untrue. So if we spent £130m on one of the world’s best strikers this summer you wouldn’t expect an upturn in results?

I’d like to see Sandro alongside a more defensive midfielder. Particularly away from home.

Let’s buy the replacement before we sell anyone.

Aye, play the man Norman Mailer.

It really isn't.

Juventus their ruthlessness is doing great work. Don't forget those giants of the game Watford too, arguably the most ruthless club in world football.
