Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

£25m! I reckon we'd be lucky to see £10m for the pair. We won't get more than a couple of million for J-Rod. I'd like to see him stay. I think a new manager who played to his strengths could still get more out of him. Sadly you know he'll go somewhere else and hit form.

Not a disaster but not good when you look at the following.... Where we'll finish this year compared to last. 11 goal in the last 12 games. Lowest points tally since our return to the Prem. Never wanted Puel. You only have to listen to his interviews to see that he's one of the most uninspiring managers in the game. Imagine being in a team listening to that every day. I can honestly say I dislike him more than any other manager we've had. And that list includes some pretty awful managers, including the likes of, Redknapp, Branfoot, Wotte, Poortvliet, Gray, Sturrock & Wigley!

Same story every week, just like his boring tactics.

Will Puel fit in one of his bags?

Time to bump this thread. It's slipped far too far down the page for my liking. Another clueless performance in which Puel has shown that he's tactically inept. Poor substitutions. **** football. 11 goals in the last 12 games. Possibly our lowest points tally since we returned to the Premiership. **** off now!!! If he's here next season we'll struggle to stay up. This is the worst football I've seen us play for years.

11 goals in the last 12 games. Something has got to change!

Not with this clown in charge. He wouldn't know where to start. Same old story every week. Same dire excuses every time.

Should beat Boro away? I wouldn't count on anything with this team. We should have beaten Hull away. We should have beaten Hull at home. We should have beaten Stoke away. We should have beaten Swansea away... The list goes on and on and on.

A point at Anfield could be seen as a decent result. However, once again we lacked any creative edge and given the players we have in the team it's clear that the manager doesn't know how to get the best from them. He's got to go.

Do you realise this could be our lowest points tally since we returned to the Premiership?

Another well observed comment. I honestly can't believe that people think he's the future.

Amen!

Well said.

Why the **** is Tadic still taking our penalties? It's hardly surprising that our players look so toothless when they're being led by someone like Puel. How can anyone be inspired by that man?

As I said after the Chelsea game. Anything less than 3 points against Hull and he has to go. I've seen nothing this season that's made me change my mind about him. Not even the trip to Wembley.

3 points and a clean sheet otherwise Puel really can **** off.

Exactly.

True, but why not give the lad a chance to prove himself? We've got **** all to play for this season so why not play him? Giving Stephens some game time makes sense but we've been leaking goals since VVD got injured so why not try something different. Stephens is young, he'll get his chance in the future.

Watch him leave, find form elsewhere and come back to haunt us.

As others have said, the circumstances are very different. However, given a clean slate and the choice between the two managers I'd go for Koeman every time. I'd be very surprised if anybody opted for Puel over Koeman if presented with a choice between the two.

This!

This. It says nothing about our academy, it says more about ****house agents and players being greedy and trying to run before they can walk.

Ant Anstead is joining Mike Brewer. He's the mechanic from the Channel 4 series 'For The Love Of Cars' with Phil Glenister.

That's just an act because he's signing on and doesn't want his benefits stopped. ;-)

No. When exactly did I make up stories about fake bust ups, rumours, injuries and signings? I simply asked if anybody knew if there was any truth in it. A google search links to at least two reports of a bust up. I just wondered if they were true. As somebody has pointed out, (without being a complete ***** about it) it was fake news. I didn't make anything up so why don't you wind your neck in and get your facts straight.
