Varadi Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I really hope all of these are sarcastic posts like. Why? It's obvious the squad needs serious investment or we're in trouble. A 10 for relegation? A 10? We've played one game against on the of the best teams in the league, who we matched up until Shelvey was a complete nob. We've also just come to Huddersfield, who were obviously gonna be flying and in a party atmosphere and we were the better team other than two 10 minute spells at the start of each half. We created all of chances but didn't put them away, they put their only chance away. <b>Burnley, Swansea, Bournemouth, Brighton, Huddersfield all have much worse squads than us </b> when the bubble pops for Huddersfield and another 5 games in, all of those teams will be below us. Mass husteria on here for nothing, we obviously need to improve but there is not a chance in hell we're going down.* *Unless Rafa leaves. They really don't like, our squad is easily in the 3 worst in the league, there's only Rafa gives us any hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Okay treacle, we'll see in a few weeks. Don't need to I can see it now unless Ashley breaks the bank and that's not going to happen but you keep on if it makes you happy ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 absolute strong 10 this team doesn't look like it can win 10 games Never like geordiedean for a needlessly over reactionary post. why is it over reactionary? I'd put my mortgage on it that this squad won't win 10 games. Some people need to take the blinkers off Can I take you up on that bet please? Hope Chelsea don't lose today or they're down, like us. Relegated in August. Are you really putting us in the same bracket as Chelsea This team is utter utter tripe when you've still got people like mbemba,lascelles,Elliott and Perez starting it's plain to see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 If we don't go out and sign a proficient cam/no 10 I really hope Rafa doesn't stick with this formation. Would rather play 442 or 433 than rely on someone who's not good enough behind the lone striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 We were the poorer of two very poor sides today imho. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the three teams that came up go straight back down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reality of the situation. It's not so much the two losses as how shite we've looked in the process. Weak at the back, soft in the middle and zich up front. It's going to be a struggle if that's our game plan for this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 If I had no bias, I'd be tipping us to go down tbh. Mainly because the teams that were dead certs last season have gone down. Beyond us, Huddersfield, Brighton and maybe Swansea, there aren't as many candidates for the drop as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen either of their games in fairness but Bournemouth have had a shit start and my mate, who's a big Cherry (hehe), is quite concerned about Howe's team selections.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Burnley, Bournemouth and Swansea are the 3 outside of the promoted who'll be in the mix, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Honestly, I know people think we're terrible but there really are some not good teams in the league, like. I look at West Brom and they have some utter crap playing for them, yet they'll be comfortable. Refuse to believe a manager as good as Rafa can't get close to matching their position.

Dave Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 BTW we're 16th, which suits Ashley down to the ground. Nothing will change in the final week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 West Brom have experienced premier league players who are well drilled in percentage football. It's not Rafa's way, and we don't have that experience or the players needed to play that way. I'm not sure the players are even good enough for what Rafa wants from them tbh.

Pulis was talking about making five more signings before the window closes last week. There's the difference between us and the clubs who are fighting to stay clear of trouble.

Jordan Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Squad is awful. Its a championship side playing in the wrong league. Ashley needs to back Benitez or we'll be back in the championship for the 3rd time in a decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when you said Grant Hanley will be fine for us because Leicester won the league with Morgan and Huth. It's comparing two things that have little relevance at all Didn't I make the comment about Hanley being fine in the Championship? Which he was. Sorry, I forgot that all sarcastic comments need to be 100% accurate and fully reflective of the state of the point. I just wish I was as amazing as you Joey. Oh the pain.
