Bloody irritating things.

£36m **** me!!! Thought he was pretty good when I saw him in Denmark, but didn't think he'd cost that much. Is he still pretty raw? Just seen it's for £18m...probably fairer.

He lies.

Well we're obviously not going to go all out for a win at Everton are we....we'll probably try and keep it tight in the first hour, and then push on depending on how the game is going. A draw would be a decent result up there.

Clappers can do one though....

Hope not, they'd kill us in the middle of the pitch. Decent side Everton.

Well well well, we've given ourselves a fighting chance. Palace now safe which was hardly surprising given Zaha's timely return and their fixture run in. It is GAME ON!!!

Any flash streams for today? Mate can’t make it

Think thats harsh on Tadic, my issue with him is more about him being **** than not putting in the effort, he clearly wants to win.

Because he seemed to get a result when he was just about to be sacked probably! Plus the cup run. He should have gone after that Leicester game, I think if we hadn't beaten Everton he'd have been gone then.

Cedric isn't good enough to play in that position, I'd prefer Pied there.

True, though he has had Arsenal away, Chelsea home and Leicester away - not games I'd have expected to win under Poch or Koeman tbf. West Ham however, I think he just f*cked up massively by going two up front.

Well you can see the below aren't interested by just watching them mope about the pitch... Bertrand Cedric Lemina Gabbiadini Carrillo

This graphic is pretty damning

Yep - Tadic has to start for me too. Thought is was harsh on him and JWP not starting on Sunday.

Although true, I'm pretty sure it works both ways and given we've sold more than we've spent we're probably owed more than we owe.

Maybe I need to put Long in their too, but he scored at Anfield and what a moment that was...!

Yep - definitely worse signing that Gaston, Gaston was actually pretty good in that first season under Adkins / Pochettino. Boufal has huge talent but doesn't want to be there and has bugger all end product. Another huge waste of money alongside these...including Boufal thats about £145m largely wasted. Carrillo (£19m) Hoedt (£15m) Lemina (£18m) Gabbiadini (£15m) Clasie (£8m) Juanmi (£6m) Austin (£5m) Martina (£2m) Gardos (£6m) Forren (£4m) Osvaldo (£15m) Mayuka (£4m) Ramirez (£12m)

Definitely I'd take him back. One issue being the ego's in our squad though wouldn't probably want to play for him.

Would quite like to see the below... ---------------McCarthy----------------- Pied --- Bednarek --- Yoshida --- Bertrand ----------Romeu-----Hojbjerg----------- JWP-----------Redmond------------Tadic -----------------Austin-------------------

Can’t agree with that. IMO Wes is considerably the best of the 4... Hoedt > Yoshida > Bednarek > Stephens IMO

Shout out to this lad the last two games. I saw him at Fulham and thought he was dreadful, but he's been pretty decent since coming into the side. Twice the player Stephens is would be surprised if Stephens comes straight back in

We're not good enough at the back to play 2 up top, and we need some players to give the two strikers the ball if we were to do it. When we've gone two up top we've been absolutely terrible and cant get the ball so makes no sense to do it. Only way it's plausible is to go 3-5-2/5-3-2, however the last few weeks we've been playing pretty much a 3-4-2-1. The issue isn't not having enough strikers on the pitch, it's more about getting the players forward more, but I can't help but feel that the players aren't fit enough. The amount of times Long has got the ball in the last few games and the only one within 25 yards of him is Tadic. The midfield isn't mobile enough, and the "wing backs" have pretty much played as full backs. It's been lagely the same all season, and we just dont get enough players forward, but probably because our defenders cant be trusted to not f*ck up and give a goal away.

Not convinced if you put our current XI in the championship they'd get promoted to be honest. We need some investment in key areas and would be nice for some commitment from a few of the players who have taken us down...(McCarthy, Yoshida, JWP, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Long, Austin) ----------------------McCarthy NEW ------- Yoshida -- Bednarek/NEW ---------Targett ----------------------Romeu------------------------------ -------------JWP---------------Hojbjerg------------------ NEW--------------Austin/Long-----------------Sims/NEW Probably need a new #10 too who will actually create so we can go 2 in the middle and one in the hole.
