It might seem ‘unprofessional’ but it’s a welcome to the real world experience for your grandson. When he applies for full-time jobs in the future he will find that in the vast majority of cases a company will not reply to applicants they are not interested in.

What’s that got to do with it? You claimed that Stephens should keep his place in the team as he gets us goals which in some way might make up for not being able to do his primary job which is defend. If you’re using that as the justification then it’s not really true is it.

3 PL goals since 2016. Yes, let’s keep him in for his goals.

If you think they get a ‘free pass’ then I don’t think you’ve been reading much of the forum. As for Stephens the less said the better.

I think they call that Hobson’s choice. Neither are good enough.

Best player on the pitch last night. Even did the AWOL midfielders work.

The substitutions changed the game. End of. The manager won that game tonight despite the ‘efforts’ of some of the team to the contrary.

He ‘only’ contributed one positive thing which was the goal. He was utter turd for the other 95 minutes. Dreadful.

Be nice if McCarthy came off his line to help his defenders out now and again.

Completely different energy.

Fair play to Ings he’s now doing the midfielders jobs as well as the forwards. Can he play CB?

What do you suggest?

Sorry, I couldn't read the rest of your post after that first line.

We are so nervous at the back. I've lost count of the amount of eff-ups of simple passes between McCarthy, Stephens and Cedric in particular. This just permeates through the whole team and crowd and leads to more and more mistakes giving simple possession chances to Watford. Dreadful.

I think it's good of Stephens to help us all remember that whatever challenges you are going through in life there is always someone having a more difficult time.

Yep definitely his fault all our defenders are absolutely sh1te

Jack Stephens and the rest are no better

I guess it depends where you are in career terms and whether certain circumstances (club in the sh1t, manager struggling and manager out of work) might just be the scenario for it to happen but, as we both agree, it wouldn’t end well for one or more of the three.

You didn’t read the rest of the sentence then.

Adkins would be a perfect assistant to Ralph but I can’t see either being happy with that arrangement.

And a final.

The same as Brendan Rodgers, right?

Didn’t he play a grand total of 4 games while on loan at Inter who showed no interest in signing him permanently.

Coming back from long-term injury
