James

He's unambitious because we don't actually attack properly and pass the ball forward. We either pass it back or sideways and we play most of the game at a walking pace. Nothing to do with players not performing. They are being told to play this way.

Sad thing is, we don't really have anyone else.

Not just that though is it? It wasn't exactly raining chances when Austin was in. We've got a team with no creativity and a negative, unambitious manager. A new striker won't change that. Even if we bring someone in (and I don't think we will) it'll be someone we've never heard of from some random European league that'll take half a season to get going. A couple of seasons ago we were third in the league, crying out for someone to take the pressure off Pelle and we loaned in Elia. We didn't get anyone the January when we were pushing for a CL spot so no reason to think we will now.

Would be a million times better than Long, that's for sure.

Sums up exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. Really can't be arsed after spending thousands at all the europa games and not seeing a goal, hundreds up at Hull to see us turned over by the worst side in the league and then the Palace farce last week. Got to come down from London for the home games and seriously considering saving the money. So ****ed off.

Agree with this.

Burnley at home is the only good game we've played.

It entertains me that people keep harping on about what a great training ground coach Puel is. One seriously has to wonder what he's got Redmond doing the other six days a week...

If you think we are going to get anything other than a spanking over two legs against Liverpool then you are deluded.

This is spot on.

Mainly **** off Puel. Inept tactically.

Because the players we brought in this summer are ****.

Not just the results it's the insipid football we are producing that is most concerning. If/when we get shredded by Liverpool then our season will be over.

As soon as we get spanked by Liverpool in the semi he will be out.

Too early to want Puel out? Willing to give him a bit of time but these toothless performances are very regular.

Serves us right. Puel has a lot to answer for.

Would like to see McQueen.

Sims starting is good news. Looked bright when he came on against Palace.

Was a lot better in his first season for us than a lot on here remember. If you watch the season review he scored a number of important goals. I remember when we were 3-1 up away at Stoke around Christmas the away end started singing "and we've still got Gaston on the bench." Not sure we'd have been singing that if he'd have been dog awful as the reviews on here would lead you to believe. It was Poch coming in that really did for him as he was nowhere near hardworking enough for a Poch team. We've moved on from him but as others have said he'd be a decent player in the current system. The tip of a diamond was always going to be his best position.

Forster is crap.

For f*ck sake.

Completely bizarre selection. Not really sure why we have done this.

Assume it's boufal, long and McQueen as a front three. Odd team.

Three Europa aways, no goals. Got to feel sorry for the fans the spent their hard earned getting over there.

Yes.
