Being saying it since Puel, spot on. Nothing to do with the squad, plenty of creativity there... it's the style of football

That has West Ham written all over it

Oh and if you want me to have a look at your kitchen Quote let me know x

I know plenty of quality, trustworthy builders/kitchen fitters as I work in the trade industry. Can pass some names on if you wish?

Nothing wrong with the squad other than a lack of pace and direct running. It's got goals orers and creators, they've just been woefully under utilised by two safety first managers... whose coaching is doesn't create an identity for the team like a Pochettino or attacking mentalist Roger Schmidt would. There's enough decent, attacking footballers in our squad to have scored and created more than we have in the past couple of seasons. It's up to the manager and the coaching staff to create and drill patterns of play, develop an identity and get the players believing in that. Puel and even moreso Pellegrino are failing to do that in spades

He's sh1te and has been well protected up until last season by a superb defence and midfield. Capable of the odd worldie game which everyone remembers and seems to justify his selection for the next 6 months in some people's eyes. Now we're a little weaker in those positions, he's exposed more and his true (lack of) ability is there for all to see. Called it when he signed, got laughed at. Boruc was and probably still is an infinitely better goalkeeper. He's not going through a "bad patch" or is carrying an injury, he's just a poor goalkeeper... made worse by a complete lack of confidence in himself. Would go all out for Darlow or Bentley and try and shift him to a stupidly cash rich club who might need a backup... though he's doing away the possibility of that happening with his continually sh1t performances. It's weird that people have only really started noticing in the last few months... he's been bad for years.

Quality keeper. Would get Darlow at Newcastle too Oh...and Forster... "he's just going through a bad patch"

Can't wait to read another 20 posts of "Forsters just going through a bad patch" I didn't realise bad patches lasted 3 years +

Yup. Him or Schmidt.

He's always been sh1te. Just been well protected for years

Pretty much said that for about 4 years. Got laughed off this board. How times change.

Good to hear. If he doesn't make it here, he'll make it elsewhere I'm sure.

I hoped we could get Rolando Mandragora from Juve... but that was unlikely Lemina is a good addition though.

Nice slacks.

Jesus, Lemina. Class

Oh and Martina over Pied. Turd

I said and have been saying for years... the solidity of our spine is what made us a good side and that we've needed a defensive mid Since wanyama went. Oriel on his own is no good And I'd take Boruc back on a free every day of the week

But at least we have 'The Wall' when all else fails.

Our opposition is faced with our lightweight midfield... and if they get through that, a lightweight defence and if they get through that, the worst goalkeeper in the top division. Lolz.

Just read that as a 'silver Aaron Martin'

I couldn't give a flying sh1te if a club wants him but won't match our valuation - it should be non negotiable. The fact they won't pay it is their problem, not ours. Personally I'd let the c*** rot in the u23s, depreciate in value then go on a free to Bolton when he's 31. F*** him

3 of those goals at Selhurst park? Weird anomaly

Tbf, Virgil has a reputation for being a c*** in the past

Yes, but you think Fraser Forster is a great goalkeeper so....

Was genunely an absolute one off. All the talk of 'megastars' now... Barkley, Alli, Sterling, Rooney pale into comparison to Le Tiss. Was so annoying that in front of him lesser talents got on ahead of him, some of them half-decent, some of them not; Merson etc... 8 caps. Criminal, really.
