Yep. He couldn't and didn't give the players any self belief. I heard recently how Lallana spoke up in the dressing room earlier in the season and told the players that there was as much talent in there as Brighton had, and that they had to believe in themselve and give a bit more. The tactics asked of them set them up to fail though, but the performances today and against Liverpool, will help massively in that respect. As Duck says, the fact that the under 21 manager has done more in a week than RM did all season says it all.

Seems that there were plenty of warnings about him. Very sad case. Lots of people critically injured too with life changing injuries.

Some information as to the fella's motive. Magdeburg prosecutor, Horst Nopens, said on Saturday that one possible factor could be what he called the suspect’s frustration with Germany’s handling of Saudi refugees. The suspected attacker had made online death threats against German citizens and had a history of quarrelling with state authorities, leading German media to question whether the government could have done more to prevent the attack. News magazine Der Spiegel, quoting security sources, said the Saudi secret service had warned Germany’s spy agency BND a year ago about a tweet in which Taleb threatened Germany would pay a “price” for its treatment of Saudi refugees. And in August he wrote on social media: “Is there a path to justice in Germany without blowing up a German embassy or randomly slaughtering German citizens?… If anyone knows it, please let me know.”

Yep. Assuming we can keep hold of THB, they'd make a decent CB pairing in the championship.

He's really surprised me, in a good way.

Yep. We've not been fit enough all season.

But you've assumed the motivation. Regardless, it's not usual that a person's focus is to assume the beliefs of the person they assume to be at fault, rather than the victims. The focus is skewed, and clearly hate based.

You mean the people who don't think that the family of scum should be made to drink acid?

You're a prick and completely miss the point. It's you (and whelk) who've assumed who has done this. Nobody else has suggested it is or is not anyone. Gloucester and others were entirely respectful and focused on the incident and victims. You focused on your prejudice. You keep persuading yourself that you're a decent human. I ain't falling for it.

Doesn't excuse assuming he's an islamic nutter before even knowing that it was him, and wanting his family to be made to drink acid. The latter was a disgrace from you.

Aww, so you know best eh. Never wrong. Bless.

You lurched towards your target and missed mate - unless you now claim that your were suggesting it was an anti islamic attack. It's refreshing that that the likes of Gloucester and others were able to focus on the sadness of the incident rather than letting their hate froth over.

From the man who jumped in quicker than a kid into a sweetshop and got it wrong. You're in no position to take the moral high ground over anyone.

1. Your brain seemingly led you down the wrong path. 2. Comparing what the IDF do literally every day is a tad different to this incident, especially before having any knowledge of the perpetartor. 3. You're the one who's made assumptions mate, not me. Regardless, what's your justification for wanting acid poured down the throat of the perpetrators family? That's a horrendous wish.

It isn't natural to make the assumptions you and Hypo did. You were having acid poured down his family's throats ffs - a bizarre suggestion - his behaviour ain't on them. Hypo thought Christmas had come early. As it happens, the fella appears to be islamaphobic rather than an Islamist, but people assumed before we even know his skin colour. Contempt before investigation if there ever was. SoG goes about his business in the wrong way, but I reckon the grief he gets is partly because he's touched the nerves of a few.

To be fair, there's a few semi's over him being an Arab.

Yep, and I'm not sure what he's doing in a thread about Gisele Pelicot either.

Possibly both, but certainly naive, and not forward thinking.

Agreed. Virtue signalling his bitten them on the arse.

Chances are it'll be one of those 4.

Yep. Get spanked 5 nil at home, have a cup game a couple of days later against probably the best team in the world, have a caretaker manager in who's never trained the team, so allow the players a day with their feet up. Beyond ridiculous.

I like that but unless ABK has suddenly started training with the 1st team, he ain't playing. I'd also have Aribo ahead of Lesley.

Yesterday it looked like Sundays were a day off too.
