We haven't had a manager who knows what he's doing for absolute ages. We finally do, and he has us sitting top of the table, smashing this league, and people are bored. Don't quite get it sometimes. Not really complaining, just wouldnt mind him looking at other options or systems? But Rafa would carry on like he is if we had 5 games left and 20 points clear.

Just to clarify. You're being a cock Cheers ?

Bored of predictable line up. And formation. Rafa's class. But not one bit adventurous with teams and formations. Not being a cock, i get 3 points or any points are vital but im hoping at some point we might see something different.

Think letting Sels go back to Belgium is a good idea. Not rated him at all.

thanks for cursing this again then....

What?

Yet again escapes the relegation printed on his CV and walks away richer. Disgraceful.

Not keen

Already worse then. Wow palace spent fortunes since he turned up also. There's no excuses really. I just want him to relegate them so its on his CV.

Reading the comments on Mitrovic, some saying he's been wank this season. Id say i was expecting huge things from Ayoze Perez in this league, hes been totally below average. Worse than Mitro imo.

It's like he knew that photo was going to accompany an example of how shit he's been. Has anyone got an annual one from when he was here? Id like to compare.

Did he play 1 up top at Madrid?

You on about Sigurdsson? Its probably unlikely but Swans want Mitro so you never know. We had Ritchie & Diame choose the championship over the PL also if swans are going down anyway and we are on the up its a better option. I know where id rather play, and i know what gaffer id choose out of Bradley or Raffa to play under. Carr watch Sigurdsson for a number of seasons all the way back to his Reading days. I get what you are saying all the same though.

If it means Colback is off or pushed further back then sounds ok to me. Priorities should be proper number 10 and winger. Nothing else is needed. Knockaert / Nathan Dyer / Montero? Maybe a cheeky swap with Sigurdsson and Mitrovic?

Looking at the midfield listed, we need an entire new one. There are only 2 (Shelvey/Ritchie) on the list premiership ready. And the pair would need to be full of confidence. Or even they would be average.

Thats ^^^^ exactly how it is.

?

Those highlights make it look like we were hanging in there

Each week just keeps getting better ?

Who was it who said he'd outscore our strikers? Or have I made that up? He seems to burst onto the scene when he first arrives but then the goals dry up and he struggles, how many did he get in the 2nd half of the season at Cov last year? It was me, im guilty of thinking he was going carry that scoring form into the championship. My mate bottled the bet too, because early on Barnsley started well and Armstrong hit a few and we started poor. I never thought Gayle was going to take off like he has done.

Perez is playing far worse in this division, and again i beleived at the start he would have found it a doddle. So should we flog Perez also if an offer comes in?

Can't beleive we are wasting him in this division. Especially when he was thrown into a new side last season. He could have settled and used this league to build him up ready for the premiership. I still think he had much blame in his situation due to his 4 game ban and Gayle hit the ground running. Just seems a terrible waste. Rafa Rotates everyone else but hardly uses the strikers in a rotation. I dont think Rafa likes him much.

These and Palace going down is just beautiful.

Difficult to find and keep good English defenders. Most of the top sides always want them, especially once they get selected for the national side. I remember Cahill at Bolton a few teams watched him, nobody raved on so much but he got his England call up then all of the sudden everyone takes note. And top clubs come calling. If he does end up in an England shirt, expect the vultures to swarm.
