Aye, good summary.

Think he's half a step above those. He's definitely a better player than all of those. He's our best player since Robert. Robert wasn't even the best player in Sir Bobby's team.

He's always looking for the forward pass. Complete opposite to Colback.

Although I agree, it's frustrating to feel that with a better manager we could be so much more than "very decent".

At least.

... Absolutely nothing. HUH! Say it again

Diego Maradona, who used to play for Sevilla.

They always are, utterly s*** without fail Howay man lads. Credit where it's due. At least be balanced. It's what I think. He is extremely cautious and imo makes selection mistakes week after week, be it starting 11 or subs. At least he only makes 1 or 2 selection mistakes rather than 5 or 6 like Pardew.

It was a great pass, it reminded me of Veron who used to play for Man Utd, he used to be able to play those sorts of passes all the time. Aye, thanks for that Christ. :lol:

BOSS

Feels like a huge win.

Shelvey absolutely bossing the game.

I like Shelvey already. Someone who can actually pass the ball.

Mitro's chest passing

It doesn't make any sense. We've made a point of playing Colback along with some other knacker all season for the sole purpose of protecting the defence as alone none of them were good enough (until Tiote last 2 games). Now we've signed a DM we decide not to play him It's completely bizzare, by all accounts Shelvey doesn't get involved in the defensive side, so we've just abandoned the horrendous two DM strategy the minute we sign an actual DM. Maybe that contract thing is true, it's baffling how he can start every game The vast majority of professional coaches think very conservatively. McClaren may well be planning on playing Saivet long term but it's not a surprise that Colback starts today instead of the new guy. It's s s***, annoying decision, but it's not a long term one yet, imo. Aye.

Gini was on the wing according to the last line-up as well iirc. We'll play as v Manure.

As expected.

Yep.

I'd be very surprised if he didn't.

4M?!?! Now that's a catch.

1-1

Shelvey is. Was in the latest squads.

He's got to feel for everything now.

I wouldn't mind. He's a crock, has shown very little when he's played and we have more than enough #10 candidates.
