Worse then jones in my opinion too .. at least jones tried different things and formations etc.. near the end the 4231 looked close to the way we should be setting up .. unfortunately he didn’t get the results .. but I’m not impressed with a couple of extra points from selles when he sets the team up with stupid selections every week and plays the most boring football since branfoot.. he needs to go now.. might as well not even bother turning up if we are gonna continue with him., selles is like accepting relegation without even putting up a fight

Pretty obvious what we are gonna get.. shitty possession based 442 with moi and Theo as first names on the team sheet 😡

Weird comment. The likes of mane pelle,van dijk and wanyama all came from shit leagues too.. 🤨

At least in the days of the Harry redknapps you knew they were totally on board with the signings and would fully utilise them.. tbh I don’t have a problem with our January signings, they looked a good bunch on paper, even Bree is fine for a backup. But ffs at least if your gonna sack jones it might be a idea to give the job to someone on the same page as what you were trying to do in January … that window was us throwing money around to try survive and is now being wasted by the disconnection between Rasmus and selles

Agree with all of this massively .. the 4231 looks tailor made for us.. jones was the only one starting to implement it .. the thing I want to see though regarding our transfer activity is that when we sign a player like Paul for example he should be pushing the likes of adams back in the pecking order. This is how we progress and strengthen.. giving selles the reigns is working out the total opposite. I hope we just cut him loose now tbh .. although trying to get a manager in now would be extremely difficult . But it seems really no hoper tactics and team selection he is using.

It’s madness as jones got what? one game with him lol . I know I keep banging on with this point but If I was Rasmus right now I’d be really pissed that selles isn’t even attempting to use the weapons we brought in to help us stay up, it’s a total slap in the face to him that Paul is behind mara and walcott in the pecking order, as neither of them were starters.. there’s a massive disconnect here but if the manager isn’t on the same wavelength as the transfer ideas it renders all the time and money and effort from January pointless and we end up going backwards and digging out walcott .. would not be at all pleased with this if I were ankersson from a transfer policy side of things it would almost have made more sense to show conviction and stick with jones rather then to spend all of January making signings that then end up fourth choice under selles .. what a absolute shambles

I really do not fathom why we are not even giving this guy a shot up front .. we cried all of January for a striker sign one and then he hardly even gets a chance and is now behind all three of of adams walcott and Mara 😕.. surely SR didn’t pull a carillo and sign him just for jones ..I wonder how Rasmus feels that the new weapon already finds himself 4th choice behind a bunch of already poor options .. very weird situation

The stat of how many times you relentlessly pick elyoufuckingnoussi whilst ignoring the work we did in January to strengthen maybe overweighting that for me

Same tbh .. having him in charge is like we have given up.. everyone moans about how jones was a silly appointment with hardly any top flight experience but this guy has practically no experience at all.. It’s like he’s just trying to copy Ralph’s shitty slow possession 442 with more stupid team selections then jones ..

Don’t think what happened for us before matters.. one it looks like we will be playing in the championship .. so keeping him is like having a proven 20 goal wide forward .. also he never really got much of a chance with us before.. now he has his confidence up it might even translate in to being a decent prem player .. Bowen stepped up well if he can transfer half of that form to the prem we will be absolutely kicking ourselves. 10-15 m would be a insult we obviously rated him with all the star boy hashtags., this move should on our part be to get him experience, not a move

Sod the price tag a front three with him and sulemana wide with edozie for back up would be scary ..we are gonna struggle enough with losing prem proven players on high wages like jwp lavia etc.. really think we should put our foot down tell him he’s a big part of our plans and tell Burnley to do one gotta be easier to keep him then to sign someone as good as him

I think one of the biggest problems and this isn’t just under sports republic is there seems to be a huge disconnect between the signings we make and the use of them. look at elounoussi we must have probably signed over 6-7 attacking winger types after him maybe more (can’t be bothered to count right now) he was seen as not good enough and farmed out to Celtic, yet here we are we just have a new record 22m signing in sulemana. And still moi is there in front of him So on this it just looks like ankersson and the now new manager selles are not on the same page it really shouldn’t be too difficult to highlight the weaknesses in our side and upgrade on them ( it’s not a high bar is it ?)but we are failing miserably similar case with adams, really everyone needs to get on the same page with our transfer strategy .. if the manager isn’t on board with the new striker or winger being better then moi or adams there is zero point in making the signings.. too much of this is leading to where we are now

But now he actually looks a player that could walk into our side . He’s got his confidence up and could be a important player for us . unless it was a loan with a option to buy we shouldn’t let burnley push us around on this or the player .. it’s bad enough knowing we will lose the likes of lavia etc .. now we have to be scared of loaning players to a championship club in case they do well and we can’t get them back .. this is a new low even for us 😕

If I was the board I’d be questioning even giving him until the end of the season atm. We spent all of January trying to strengthen spending 60 m on players to give us our best shot of surviving,now selles team selections are making pretty much the whole January transfer dealings and 60 m pound spent a complete waste of time. how does that make you feel if you are ankersson?? Yes the board have made a lot of mistakes this season but they did at least put their hands in their pockets in January to try and give us what we needed but now selles seems to have decided with some of them getting not even three starts that we are better off using players who are hundred percent proven not good enough absolutely cowardly team selections with a poor impersonation of hasenhuttl tactics is just gonna bring exactly what we expect it will

Honestly I feel really pissed with selles right now .. all the signings we made in January .. he starts none of them ..Alcaraz has looked one of our best players recently why is he on the bench? how can u possibly watch us all season and think yeah elyonoussi is a good idea as one of our attacking tens I know there is people who think the likes of Paul Orsic and Sula haven’t been great so far but I’d rather see the likes of these giving a proper try then to keep putting out the same crap every man and his dog have witnessed are not good enough for years.. at least try something differant .. edozie also seems frozen out atm It’s like every thing we tried to do in the January window selles is thinking nah I’ve got a better idea let’s bring back the players we know are not good enough instead .. Jesus Christ 😱

For him to have watched us all season and to still think that moi is gonna offer us anything is criminal .. it’s also fairly obvious that Alcaraz should be starting in a 433 no sulemana after he looked electric last week too.. Majority of his team selections seem to be going towards playing the players who are proven to be not good enough.. I can’t get on board with this guy

Selles is so negative .. how the hell can sulemana and Alcaraz not start .. yet here we are with moi again .. what kind of madness is this ? tbh even if he manages to keep us up somehow I don’t want him . The team selections are consistently retarded

I always wish they would get the shirts released and out early so you can wear them all through the summer .. having them not out until august makes it lose some appeal to me

Whatever happens to us regardless of staying up or going down, I hope we put our foot down and get tella back for next season. burnley seem to be getting a bit cocky thinking they are going to keep a player we did them a favour by loaning to them.. but at the end of the day the way he’s developed this season he could be a huge asset to us next year, who doesn’t want a lightning fast pacy clinical finisher .. if we let them mug us off taking him off us we are beyond pathetic

Can I ask you why you think it looked a bizzare signing in the first place ? a player that has looked great at europa league .. including a hatrick vs spurs, scoring against Chelsea and a beautifull curled effort against West Ham a player that has scored another beautiful curled effort in a World Cup semi final on big international stage and ripped up the Croatian league for years .. what looks bizzare about that? bar why would he want to join the club bottom of the league ? looked a great signing imo and as proven as your gonna get for a club like us.. we don’t buy top players from top leagues but this was more a signing in the tadic vein if you wanna write him after a couple of appearances, and because selles doesn’t rate him that’s on you .. selles is still picking elyounoussi every week so his judgement isn’t that good 🤣

Out of all of our January signing he was the one I’d say most of the fanbase were across the board happy with .. look at the Orsic thread,zero questioning or negativity towards this signing .. many thinking he could be our next tadic, and how he actually looks like he has end product unlike most of our options I have a suspicion maybe he had a fall out behind the scenes or that his fitness is way way below par .. he looked like he had such finesse in his shots when cutting in 🧐

I don’t think it is the case of not playing so become world beaters at all, all of us pretty much thought Orsic looked the nuts when we’re signing him . His pedigree was good having scored hatrick against spurs a beautifull curled effort against West Ham and vs morocco and also scored vs chelsea so his pedigree is there ..ok he looked off the pace in the games he did play but could be just a not fit thing and there’s also the chance he had a fall out behind the scenes so silly to cross him off. what I find frustrating is we would rather revert to playing moi every week who is concrete rock solid proven in offering absolutely nothing, then giving games to the likes of edozie Orsic arribo even sulemana yesterday .. these players should have been bought to oust moi and make him about 6th choice Am but instead they don’t get much of a chance and he’s still there offering nothing every game it’s better to try something that could work and give you something differant then sticking with proven poor ?

Looked really good today .. don’t really get the stick he has received in the past ..looks to have much more shooting technique then the likes of che and Armstrong , and pacy too . Him and sulemana who was outstanding completely changed the game

But wouldn’t you rather at least try something differant .. moi is a million percent proven that he cannot create anything .. meanwhile the likes of edozie/ arribo sully/Orsic get a few games then get dropped .. it’s exactly like I said above buy your kid new shoes but they prefer the old ones with holes in and soles hanging off .. I just do not get the logic of buying new players who you won’t even give a proper chance just to revert back to the old proven nothingness that you hundred percent know won’t work .. it’s nuts

Here we go with the backwards team selections again.. Alcaraz and Sula out and god damn moi again.. might as well get redmond and long back the way selles is thinking 😆. It’s like buying your kids a new pair of shoes but they wanna wear the old ones with the holes in and the sole hanging off apart from this it kinda looks a ideal spot for us against spurs .. we play our best stuff when the onus isn’t so much on us to create and take the game to them
