Nailed on. Pretty much - I don't seeing booting Puel as a cock up: with the knowledge at the time he didn't look like a proper long-term fit. However choosing MoPe as the replacement WAS a massive cock up though.
The related question is now what will they/can they do to address things? Have they got the balls/capabilities/money to dig us out of the hole we're in?
Wonder if this is a recirculation of the rumour from a couple of weeks back?
I also wonder how he'd react to Redmond and Tadic's average attacking play, and repeatedly not playing him in..... presumably he'd do something crazy like shave their cat.
His first game for a while, and out of position: his first ever game at right back.
He did okay.
Would hope there would be a better option as our 3rd choice RB though!
Sitting back, home crowd getting noisy, last 5 minutes.
Some dodgy subs.
Why can't we just push on from a lead and score a couple? Id MoPe on a bonus if we DON'T score more than 1?
So is that Stephens at RB, or a back e with JWP as right wing-back?
Not a lot of creativity in that midfield. Will be interesting to see who is furthest forward of Davis & PEH.
Jesus.
Do you think he'd have tried to go all hip and relative to them?...trying to 'relate'. Would he be sharing management-speak snippets of wisdom?
Wonder what the squad have nicknamed him?!
Thought the same during the dithering substitution.
Such an obvious sub to make, MoPe started to do it...then it didn't happen. Made me wonder if Lemina refused to come on.
Probably not though. SImply down to us being managed by a plonker.
My money is on JWP to be reeled out with these sentiments in the pre-game build up.
We're fighting, we have a great chance for a cup final and Europe. Europe is the aim, we have a great squad.
