Think we now have coaching staff of 4 -all 4 managed in football league in their own right! Is that enough "English managers with knowledge of this league" for us I wonder?

crap mentality wanting to support the club?

If I quote a very very subjective view and then say everyone who doesn't agree with me is wrong - then you can equally call me arrogant. If he thinks we will go down (I don't) then fine - no problem with that. But to then proudly state that anyone else of differing view is wrong is setting yourself up to be called arrogant. Where did he challenge me? Moan all you like, this is a hobby for me and I prefer to enjoy it rather than be Victor Meldrew

apart from the leagues top scorer and papa?

1) one of the most arrogant posts I have seen on here - takes some doing. 2) you are wrong in most of what you say. If you don't see that you are kidding yourself

long maybe!

I liked seeing him getting the face of the other team yesterday - deliberately throw the ball hard in players mid region when he delayed a free kick. Not saying I want team of bad sportsman but when did we last have a player who would p!ss off opposition?

said in many threads on him - he disappears and that can't happen for central midfield player. if he plays like he has shown in flashes, or the ajax game, or the twenty minutes yesterday - he should be first name on team sheet - but at the moment his form doesn't warrant it. Struggle to think the last midfielder who could pass as long and as accurately as he can - but only any good if he has the ball and on his game.

He's not really a pretty touches sort of player. More to create and get things moving from midfield - passing out to wings - did this very well yesterday.

He looked very good. I have seen him pass etc better than other players (in our team or others) but agree his consistency has not warranted starting place. Arsene Wenger has said do not expect an overseas player to perform to their ability in first 12 months of new country. He came as 18 year old, to club being relegated in chaos and to play central midfield. I am very happy to have him in our squad and enjoy watching him - when he doesn't go missing!

lost two out of six

I went yesterday - and was thoroughly fed up and grumpy - getting frurstrated. But I do see things that reassure me. If you don't go (and I don't go to many away games) it is hard to see anything positive in defeat.

where you impressed with him when he came on yesterday? ran with ball well, couple of good tackles, amazing long ball out to the left wing at one stage. What did you think?

exactly what I have been saying for ages - undoubted ability but not showing steady form to warrant regular start at the moment.

questioning is one thing, look at the first page of this forum 2 threads offensive about Paterson 1 slagging off Hammond one titled so who wants Pardew out? one suggesting withdrawal of support of saga Its not questioning or debating its taking pleasure in slagging off players/team Some out of frustration I am sure - others not.

yes you did - confirmed by Pardew that they rejected offers on players including him, hth

Schneiderlin is one of the best players we have at the club - possibly the best. What he is hugely short of is consistency - which totally undermines my first line! If he needs games out of the first team, or coming on late in the game so be it. He is very young to move to another country and plays in a hard position for a youngster. If he plays to his ability he will be a very very good player for us. He is strong, can run with the ball, can tackle and his range of passing is great. Unfortunately he keeps disappearing -which central midfield player cant. Looked great against Ajax and again yesterday - not far off man of the match when only on for short period.

How many before what? Sacking manager? loads. being fed up and disappointed? I was yesterday. concerned about how long it will take for us to get back to CCC? I am now. What I am not doing is slating those involved, saying we must win the next game and ignoring the progress we are making.

We should have and would liked to have cleared the 10 points winning a few games but some of the over reaction on here, and the almost glee at slagging off our players is pathetic. Few weeks ago we didn't even have assistant managers/coaches, scouts etc. If you add Murty, Jaidi, Holmes, Papa and Saga to that team I am guessing it will perform better than yesterdays. We all want wins and believe we should be winning most of our games in this league but why slate the players and manager so much? Why not be furstrated, disappointed but patient?

get all that wrong. first substitution was exactly right - and at the right time. Schneiderlin made a big difference when he came on.

some hysterical kids posting tonight!

don't think he did.

good signing, bit of the chris marsden for the central role. did ok today. Get impression the op is in minority

whatever
