Darth Crooks Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Anyone who bleats the lie saying they’ve had a good window then a week after saying we shouldn’t play that way is just a twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 We cop criticism from being too expectant and hounding managers out when we back what he’s doing as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wolves should have lost - Man City hit the post enough times and goal wasn't a goal. Newcastle should have at least drawn as Pen wasn't a pen. Rafa's tactics were spot on imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Still think people are ignoring the fact that our ball retention was the worst it’s been in a long time. Players learn how to pass and we would have had a lot more of the ball. It wasn’t tactical to have so little possession. Aye i commented during the game how Ritchie and Murphy at the time had no awareness of players around them and kept losing the ball, chuck in Ki and Mo playing sloppy balls as well. Rafa himself said after the game we had to keep the ball better, it wasn't a let them have it back as soon as we get it thing, just poor play from us in possession a fair bit. Diame has not started the season well and I hope he's not going back to his old ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diame has not started the season well and I hope he's not going back to his old ways. He is what he is, a limited player who cost relative peanuts. He's actually done a decent job for us breaking play up, but you aren't going to get a midfielder who can do that and then spray the ball around for £5m. Just one of the areas we really did need an upgrade in quality, and I don't dislike him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right but I don't see Ki as the answer either to be honest - can't complain on a free transfer but he is just a meh signing really - it's where we are at though.

(Obviously sloth has to sell up for that to happen) Never going to happen without massive changes and the only way I can see it will is a mass boycott by fans not going (and I'm talking 000s). Maybe happen when Rafa departs this Summer and if we are relegated but even then I'm not convinced. It's an impossible situation currently really and the fans themselves are starting to argue more and more between themselves as to tactics, signings etc etc due to the current state this club is in thanks to Ashley.

Nothing against any of our summer signings, they all look like they could do a job, but none of them have really took us forward. Ki and Rondon feel like squad fillers not game changers. Schar and Fernandez likewise, they look like decent signings, but it's a squad built for survival and covering our bases rather than kicking on and aiming to go anywhere.
