What a pile of pony. I’d be interested to know if you watched the whole game or are taking your judgements from highlights & others opinions. Because the people stood near me thought he did ok, and having a few bevies in The central in town afterwards so did a couple of Evertonians. If you genuinely think he was worse than Austin, Wes, Cedric, OR & Stephens than you can’t really have been paying too much attention to the game. Stats prove nothing, but here’s one for you. 3 managers, all of whom played for top European sides, 2 of which played for Barcelona ffs, didn’t agree with your opinion that “Redmond is not as good as JWP”.

This is just complete pony. No way Redmond was the worst player on the pitch Saturday, no way at all. That’s the problem with some of our supporters, they’re blinded by their own prejudices. The bloke has played ok this season, excellent against Burnley & half decent at Everton. Not that people like you will acknowledge it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think there were 17 million others as well. Anyway what’s the nightmare? If you’re a remainer it’s the easiest job in the world, a win win. How can you lose, country goes tits up , you didn’t vote leave. Goes ok and you’ve steered us through a difficult transition. Problem is the remain politicians are all pussies, too used to the EU wet nursing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I’m suggesting that posters shouldn’t start questioning whether people have “kicked a ball”, just because they have different opinions on a player. Particularly when the manager picking them is one of the best players of his generation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That Mark Hughes who picks him every game, WTF does he know ? He hasn’t kicked a ball, unlike that great player Crabby. He’s only played for 3 of the worlds biggest teams, whereas Crabby has played for the Dog & Duck , and also writes posts on a football forum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spot on. Some of our supporters need to get a ****kng grip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sorry I don’t agree. He needs to win an extra 50 plus seats, where’s he going to get them from if he calls for a second referendum. The leftie Remoaners voted for him last time, a doubt there’s many more seats he can gain from pleasing that side of the debate,and you’re deluded if you think Grieve, Soubry type Tories will vote for him. The seats he needs are Tory/Labour marginals that voted Leave. How on earth is your suggested policy going to win them over, and that’s not even taking into account seats like Skinners that they managed to hold onto last time. He may take some in Scotland, but it’ll be a zero sum game by the time he’s lost as many Leave areas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it’s pretty hard to judge our new centre half on the back of one game. Let’s hope he’s as good as some of you think . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**** me, give it a rest. Why is it that during every single Redmond thread somebody thinks it’s funny to bring this up. It’s ****ing tiresome. Fair play to the guy, he’s looked pretty decent in both games so far this season. Hasn’t stopped a few supporters still moaning about him, but I’m sure the vast majority will respect the fact he’s knuckling down and working at his game. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The problem is people are hardened criminals by the time they get to prison. They’ve been given such soft sentences previously that they’re past the stage they can be helped. I bet reoffending rates wouldn’t be so high if after the first time you were caught, the short sharp shock of a prison sentence awaited you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s been like that for years & years, was like it before privatisation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In this instance it’s absolutely nothing to do with being a competent politician, he’s as anti EU as JRM, Boris or Nigel Farage, Tony Benn is his political hero FFS. He’s voted time and time again with Bill Cash, Kate Hoey et el, and only “changed his mind” when he realised it could cost him the leadership. Anybody who supports him thinking he was pro EU is a moron of the highest degree . Contrast his campaigning during the GE to his lack of effort during the referendum. You seriously can’t tell me that all his cult members thought he’d try and keep us in the EU. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Whether they’re private or public, soft arsed liberals & pinkos have screwed our prisons. An ex prison officer works for me & the stories he tells would make you hair curl (if you have any). The only thing the authorities are interested in is controlling them by any means. This mainly involves turning a blind eye to all sorts of practises that mean prisoners don’t kick off. Probation is a ****ing joke, it’s just a tick box exercise and has been for many years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Has produced the very very occasional glimpse of promise, but really hasn’t done anything like enough to to be considered for the first team squad, let alone the side. This isn’t a ****8ng boys club, it’s a tough old business. Loan to the championship makes absolute 100% cast iron sense, I really don’t understand anyone with a problem over it.

There ain’t . I don’t find Jennifer Saunders funny, does that make me a sexist. I don’t find Jo Brand funny, does that make me a fattist. I don’t find Alan Carr or that stupid jock twt funny, does that make me anti white. You and your ilk are the ones putting barriers up and judging people by how they look or what colour they are not me. Lenny Henry is not funny. Whether he’s white, black , yellow , a homosexual, transgender or whatever is irrelevant, he’s not funny . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. No chicks either. Larry David is a Jew, so I doubt you Corbynites would find him funny. Here’s the thing. Maybe you don’t find Larry funny, because he doesn’t make you laugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree about the tiny margins and that match fitness affects that. Being match fit is different to being fit, an important % is in your head, your reactions. However, Cedric struggles in that aspect of the game even when in tune. I think he’s a fine player & it wouldn’t surprise me if a biggish foreign club came in for him, because that flaw in his game is magnified in England. The 4-4-2 v 3 at the back or 5-3-2 or whatever, is a bit of a red herring anyway. Under Puel we played 4 at the back, yet the full backs pushed on and OR played extremely deep. So there wasn’t a world of difference between that & 3 centre halves with wing backs . Personally I like 3 at the back the way Terry Venables played it, with 2 full backs beside 1 centre half. Bertrand could defo play that way, but clearly we’d need a RB who could. You then have 2 authentic wide men rather than full backs playing as the wing backs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the most unfunny blokes to ever appear on tv, if he was white we’d never have heard of the twt. **** me, even his ex wife is funnier than him and she’s about as funny as a dose of the clap. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bertrand defends well in the air, in fact he’s one of the better ones. My issue with him is he doesn’t get out to the wide man quick enough to stop the cross, he’s can also be incredibly causal defensively. A full back will always be out jumped by a striker, but the decent ones will impede the run, get across the front of him, engage contact just before the cross, use all sorts to ensure the guy doesn’t get a clean header. Cedric always get done because he ends up in a straight jump with the striker, he never seems to know where he is, until it’s too late. with Bertrand giving the crosser too much time to pick a cross it’s a fatal combination. In a 5, he’ll get done in a wider or further out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Exactly. I said in the Burnley thread where everybody was banging on about 4-4-2 that our full backs ( particularly Cedric) are not good enough, or playing well enough in a 4. Nothing I saw Sat made me change my mind, Bertrand was woeful first half and as you say, Cedric gets done from a cross again. When Bertrand & Cedric start to close wide men down to prevent crosses, when Cedric learns how to defend in the air, then maybe we can go to a 4. Until then let’s get back to what we did well last season under Hughes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I like the way we’re putting our foot in a bit more, we were soft as Shiite the last couple of seasons. I’d like to see Pep do that to Redmond in front of him. Nice to have a manager that will rattle a few referees cages as well. Solid, steady sensible manager imo, deserved the job after the performances at the end of last season. He picks square pegs in square holes, of course you can argue that you’d prefer Gabbi to Austin or Yoshida to Stephens but the impression he gives me is that he won’t **** around with people out of position. As always, some players will thrive & some will go backwards. Early indications are Redmond will be a plus, with maybe OR struggling. Yes it’s worrying that we’ve started both games poorly, but he has appeared to gee the players up for the second half. All in all, he won’t set the world on fire, but he’ll be fine imo .

Rubbish, it’s not a yellow elsewhere or just a free kick it’s a red. If that was an outfield player that would have been a straight red, no questions asked no doubt about it. If a centre half tackles like that, he’s off. End of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
