  1. You think what's OK? The reply doesn't seem to match my original post. I thought my point was relatively clear. He was brought here to dribble and create. If (and I am not sure its the case) he has lost a bit of confidence and stops trying to do that, there is no point in him being in the side. I want to see him go at the fullback every single time he gets the ball in their half. He didn't do that in the last game, but hopefully he will at Man U. We need an outlet and a threat on he break and he has t be that man. I didn't actually touch on his end product. There hasn't been any so far, but for now, I'd just be happy to see him dribble and attempt to beat the fullback. We have got zero end product out of our other attacking wide men, such as Edozie, so it's not as though him failing to get a goal or an assist would be a step backwards. Not attempting to take his man on would be though.
  2. I would be very tempted to move KWP back across to the right to help stop Rashford. I suspect AMN will continue, but not sure he is best equipped to stop Rashford coming inside and scoring, as he has done a fair bit this season. Should/when Rashford comes inside, it's going to be very important that Lavia is already there filling that space, CBs are willing and able to step out and midfield is tracking runners so those two are not torn between two jobs.
  3. Tall Paul maybe, but Sulemena has seen plenty of ball since he got here. One thing I noticed in the last match at least, Sulemana was given the ball in a forward area and rather than turn and go at his man - something he was brought here to do, he took the simple option and passed it backwards. It minded me of John Barnes playing for England. He had plenty of time and space to turn and dribble, but he chose not to. It looked like his exciting carefree attack-at-all-costs attitude that he showed on his debut at Brentford had disappeared. It concerned me when I saw it, as I wondered if he'd lost a little bit of confidence. I hope that is not the case as we need him to provide that little bit of invention to unlock teams.

    I'm not certain like you, but wouldn't be surprised. The pain he seemed to be in, not just when he went down, but at the end of the game points to ligament damage and that's obviously very bad news.

    I started playing football for Tyro side Warsash Wasps. Their original ground on Church Road used to be an old strawberry field. We used to spend about half an hour before every single game picking up stones. Pretty much every game you came away with some sort of cut. It makes me wince just thinking about the possibility of a knee slide to celebrate a goal.

    I don't understand how a guy that scored 29 goals in 43 games before he came us can look to be so incapable of scoring goals for so long. Lots of strikers have a drop in form and confidence, but its pushing on two seasons now. I guess he hasn't played every game over that period, but he's had plenty of games and quite a few opportunities to make things happen or take a scoring chance that comes his way. He looks total devoid of confidence and is pretty much a waste of a shirt. It's such a disappointment. He was brought in as an Ings mark II, but the only similarity is his lack of height.
  7. I can't get my head around it. When a player comes on, no matter how shit he has been before, he has the opportunity to play well and help us win. Why in earth would you not get behind him? Every dog has his day. Some fans are just thick. Even if you disagree with the substitution, you don't boo, you support, encourage or at the very least shut the fuck up and see what happens.
  8. I read the Leicester City forum before the game and their fans were absolutely slating them, so I thought we had half a chance. I was surprised at how much they dominated actually and the number of golden chances they would create. The fact they missed them and gave us a couple of great opportunities typified what their fans were saying. But how many `average' quality teams playing poorly will we face between now and the end of the season? I guess Forrest, Bournemouth, West Ham and Palace are the big ones. None will be easy. But can we beat someone like Spurs at home?
  9. If we play as poorly as that in the future games, we have no chance of getting five or six wins. There has to be massive improvement. Maybe that happens, but I can't see it.
  10. All these players "playing well"...yet Leicester dominated and carved us open.
  11. Strangely, despite getting the win, I came away feeling less confident of survival. We were terrible in the second half. Leicester are a really poor side at the moment, yet they dominated and ran us ragged. It was such a hard watch. I was disappointed with Sulemana again. He showed his great pace on one occasion, but his control was poor and he looked a little short of confidence, choosing an easy pass rather than trying to take on his man. I hope Alcarez is not out too long, but it didn't look good. Hobbling After the game.
  12. what the fuck is AMN doing? Show some fucking composure. Hacking it into touch is for pub players not Premier League. Woeful.
  13. take it. We are hanging on here.
  14. McCarthy does that and the pitchforks are out.
  15. They are terrible and most Leicester fans will confirm that, but they are still miles better than us. If we somehow manage to hold on, this will be a great result.
  16. ligament damage I suspect. I'd bet he's out for a couple weeks minimum. Fingers crossed its not worse.
  17. How the hell are we winning this game?
  18. Alvaraz really has fucked his knee. He will be going off I soon I fear.
  19. What a great tackle by Lavia by the way to break up the play which ted to our goal.
  20. Lovely finish. Good lad.
  21. Im not a fan, but is he really worse than Bazunu, Gunn, Gazzaniga, Davies, Neil Moss, Ian Andrews, Blayney, Phil Kite...maybe Beasant and Grobbellar too (all be it they were very old)?
  22. Would you go with the same side but with Sulemana and Onuachu then? The two strikers feel a little similar. No pace but maybe a fair bit of physicality and strong hold up play?
  23. it certainly was. Lovely evening, except for the football. Strange side we put out that night, with five CMs is you include Prutton, who I presume played right back. I didnt realise Redcunt bought Powell to the club. My dislike of arry somehow manages to increase. Niemi Prutton Hajto, Powell Higginbottom Delap Oakley Wise Quashie Fuller Jones
  24. You've given up on Sulemana and Onuachu? I'm not going to argue against that, but do you think Doyle is ready to go straight into the starting 11?
  25. To be fair, ff the journalist only asks him about Lavia, he can only respond about Lavia,
