I'm the one being weird that you think if we drafted in Krafth, Longstaff and/or Miley for this game that this place wouldn't be up in arms? :lol:

 

Again I don't know why this wasn't mentioned before the match - most seemed happy with keeping the same team that's blown away Leicester, Man Utd and Palace easily

You being weird because you're being proper smug and asking pointless questions as if i'm bed wetting  [emoji38] 

 

"Why not say before the match" howay man, it's just completely pointless nonsense. I have no idea what the fitness levels of the squad are, it's pretty obvious after that though that more than a few were 'not good' and we need to get better at managing it.

 

Between Willock, Miley, Longstaff, Krafth, Osula, Gordon we have more than enough to rotate.

I don't care if this place is up in arms, if players aren't capable of giving the required energy levels they don't play, or they come off. 

 

The fact is the rotation should have happen before today. It's the hardest of the run after playing 1 relegation fodder team and 2 teams in the bottom half. 

 

We need to be better at it, that is a literally fact

Man yous lot are so bipolar after a result, last week we were pushing for thr league title next season with a couple of additions, this week we're gonna struggle next season.

 

It was a poor result, poor results happen for every team in the league, it was our toughest fixture on paper in the run in and we weren't gonna win them all. Take a deep breath and notice we're still in the driving seat for a top 4 finish and we have money to spend in the summer.

As opposed to figuratively a fact?

I’m over it already. Perfect storm of them executing their game plan to perfection and us not being able to adapt or wanting to divert away from our own gameplan. 
 

4-1 didn’t flatter them. Bad day at the office. Move onto next week. 
 

68 points would give us a great shout of top 5 at a guess. So 3 more wins from the last 5 games. Doesn’t seem that unreasonable looking at the games we have left. 

 

:clap:

They sold their second choice striker for £70mil

We haven’t bought anyone for 2 years, and refused to move players on like Dubs and gave him a new contract instead of cashing in.

We also rejected good money for Miggy in the summer then spent the 1st half of the season not using him.

We bought a young striker and won’t bring him on towards the end of games, instead opting for a Callum Wilson who if he breaks into a sprint, will pull every muscle in his body, and blow his kneecap off.

..more disappointed - as we just didn't turn up.  Also feel like the result would have been different if Eddie was on the touchline. 


Had to watch with my in laws who are about as middle class about football and not calling everyone a cunt every 2 minutes as it’s possible to get so feel like Homer in that Angry Dad episode.

We've sold miggy and Kelly we will be active in the summer. Would you have used the summer budget to get loans who will sit on the bench?

Oh great, we're back to shit takes in the heat of the moment. And others excessively moaning about them. Way to ruin a thread all

 

If you think this thread is ruined you should have a look at the Mark Guehi thread

I'm not being smug - you've been on here long enough to know if we put a teamsheet out with Willock, Miley, Longstaff, Krafth, Osula on it then it would have been criticised.

 

There were no suggestions to play Longstaff before the game- you know we've played the same team for 6 or 7 games in a row now, how can you have no idea about us potentially being knackered as if it was common sense that we should have rotated?

 

Anyone suggesting we should have played Longstaff today is completely out of their mind

And put in who? Wilson who can barely run, Osula who isn't very good, Longstaff who is everyone's boo boy, Willock who blows hot only once in a while? We don't have options to rotate.

I have not once mentioned Wilson, as i think he's done. 

 

Onto the others, Willock and Longstaff would both start for Leicester, so start them in that game. Willock and Miley both start for Manu and Palace, so why not give them a game? Kratfh has played is good wins over the last few years, use him, and straight up Gordon should have stated for Murphy today, or at the least been on at HT
