If you believe this only began on 7/10 there's no point discussing it with you. In the words of Duck, educate yourself.

Had Israel cared about the civilians of Israel, faced the music for their crimes and given up the land they'd occupied and are still in possession of (and the thousand of "prisoners"), there would be no casualties of war. The suggestion that Hamas have the power to end this is nonsense. This doesn't end with Israeli hostages being released. That doesn't address the need for a 2 stage solution which Israel oppose despite almost universal support from the west. Occupation and Israeli oppression is the root of this. Not hostages or 7/10.

To be fair, he's got a full house of replies.

The whole thing hasn't, and it didn't start on 7/10.

Sure. Nothing at all to do with the oppression that the Palestinians have faced, and the completely OTT response from Israel. All Hamas making Israel send in fighter jets to take out residential homes.

😂😂 Brilliant character, and a cracking sketch.

Who can he rely on to organise, do his job, get stuck in, lead, and play like he gives a fuck? Look at the teams who've done a job on us recently. They've been full of players who do that.

The more relevant question is how have they turned 20% possession into 2 goals... We're losing cos of errors.

Some sense at last. Downes this, defensive midfielder that. It's bollox. We've dominated the game and two individual errors have cost us.

One right, one wrong.

I think anyone who's seen enough of Charles can, and should, suggest otherwise. You can champion his cause all you want but the lad just ain't good enough, yet.

Cos he's sloppy with the ball I'd guess. Smallbone is limited but less wasteful. Aribo will sit I'd imagine and give us some much needed muscle in there.

That's our best team at the moment. Our front 3 will have far too much for them. Back to winning ways. 4-1

Where do I find the stats for not getting tight to his man, not being strong in the tackle, and being out of position? Focusing on the attacking stats is a bit pointless when first and foremost he has to defend, but doesn't do it well.

Agree with this and your previous post. Our tactics are one dimensional and in reality are easy to play against. Hull did a number on us by pressing hard and RM did not (or more worryingly) could not adapt. If we couldn't play through the press, then we needed to play over. That sort of stuff is simple, as is having midfielders able to receive the ball quickly on the half turn and play it between or over the lines, but Smallbone in particular is incapable of that. I could go on, but the points have been made. Last night was a horror show tactically. The fact that he started as he did, and didn't change it, doesn't convince me that RM can or will change things.

Absolutely hopeless. We have aircraft carriers that can't be used, and subs that can't fire missiles. You couldn't make it up.

That's my issue with the lad. Rarely plays with his head up. Skills are like trebles in darts, and the final ball is the double. That lad is all trebles.
