Ah yes, that explains why Tella is dropped after his no injuries this season, same with Forster.

Bednarek a shambles at right back so even if you think this then Ramsey should be starting. Tella dropped for Redmond? What the actual fuck? Forster dropped for McCarthy? Can't even argue that's due to fitness.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING.

...it seems more positive comments than negative with a lot of people lamenting that he's been at the club while they had a shit manager rather than a good one? The question we need to ask is would he provide more than Redmond and given that he's doing similar up there to how Armstrong did, I would say yes he probably would.

Why does he need to score 20 goals? Armstrong is huge for us and the most he ever got up there was 15 in a full season, when they were smashing teams left and right. Elyanoussi is 2 away from that already, almost certainly going to do better than him. He may come back and go straight away but Ralph has said he's keeping a close eye on him and the point is he could come back and be out 3rd/4th choice attacking mid without costing us anything at all. Let's be honest if we sell Redmond to raise some funds and Mo is his replacement, he only needs to score one and assist one to match his contribution this season whilst being a constant starter.

She didn't get dragged into the cathedral one day to marry into the royal family with no clue who anyone is or where she was. She was dating a prince ffs, you think it was never mentioned or her and her mates never googled him and saw the incredible scrutiny that the family constantly find themselves under?

Good to see that with all the games in hand below them they could drop as far as 10th.

Yay.

Sick of hearing about it now but the snippets I have read from her interview make me very sceptical. She says that "no-one really knows what it's like" to be in the royal family as you "can't say or do whatever you like". EVERYBODY knows that's the fucking case. She was either incredibly naive and stupid before getting involved or she's flat out lying and being manipulative right now. I don't doubt that she got a harder time in the press than she should, but can they just fuck off to their private life now so we can stop hearing about it? Also the claims of racism are absurd to me, if it wasn't for those I wouldn't even know she was anything other than a tanned brunette. I've seen white girls with tans that have much darker skin than her. At what point have races mixed so much that there isn't a black or white anymore and we're finally just people?

Well they're not going to drop points two games in a row now.

So why weren't we saying Carrillo and Hoedt had a chance when they came back from their loans? Why did we agree to a fee for Lemina when his value could have skyrocketed if he performed for Fulham? There is obviously a difference in the eyes of the club between Mo Elyanoussi and the rest of these players.

Jesus Christ, for someone that likes to blow smoke up the club's arse you don't half give up on this lad easily. His last appearance for the club in the Prem was December 2019. If Ralph is open to giving him a chance when he comes back - something he hasn't said about any other of the senior players being loaned out - then why can't you be? He's had constant first team football which he didn't get at all under us and it's clearly done him the world of good as he's one of the few players for Celtic to come out of this season with any credit.

With Tella and Watts, although it seems Ralph sees Tella as a striker and possibly Watts as a CM.

I mean 13 goals - 6 of which were in European competitions - is pretty good for an AM. I think it's better than Armstrong did for them. There must have been something we saw that made us want to sign him and we only need him as a bench player anyway, he doesn't have to come back and be our star man.

I'm not saying we should be terrified of relegation, i'm just saying that maybe after 1 win in 10 games we shouldnt be getting cocky and smug about things.

Don't be ridiculous. Romeu and JWP have been one of the best midfield partnerships in the league this season, even with how much we've struggled.

Dodgy as fuck from Kevin Friend. Where's he getting this time from, not to mention that freekick to Liverpool for absolutely nothing.

Right on cue...what a block that was.

That Anderson at centreback for Fulham has been superb, looks a proper leader. If we lose Vest or Bednarek he's worth looking at.

I'd go for Gerrard.

Ah I didn't realise it was an automatic thing, thought it was just an option. Weird scenario now where we're rooting for Fulham to stay up without being completely safe ourselves.

Ralph has also hinted that there might still be a place for Elyounoussi and they are monitoring his performances for Celtic closely. With 13 goals and 2 assists in 38 games this season he might be in with a shout.

Indeed, we're still only 7 points ahead with Fulham winning today, it's only a 3 game swing.

Trying to just watch Lemina and gauge if there's a chance he could come back and be a useful player for us, but with 3 first team CMs already and a need for money and reduction of the wage bill I guess it's a given that he's going to go.

Top managers these days should learn from Fergies transfer policy. When you win big like Liverpool did you need to be replacing 4-5 of your squad and at least 2 of your first choice players with ones that haven't won anything in England yet, keep hunger in the team.
