We got 0 in the corresponding fixtures last season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Considering we’ve only won one home game this year I thought our support was pretty good yesterday. Of course the ground emptied when they scored, but that’s par for the course. Nothing will change, footballs changed forever. Grounds aren’t as atmospheric as they used to be, and never will be again. There maybe the odd special occasion when it’s rocking, but week in week out it’s gone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This. Until people know the job Les has been forced to do, how on earth can they say he’s doing it badly. Our signings are clearly a downgrade on previous seasons, and surprise surprise so are our results. Are our signings a downgrade because the recruitment department has ****ed up, because Reed is incompetent at negotiating or is it because other clubs are offering more money, that the budget Reed has been given is not attracting players. Who knows? I certainly don’t. I do find it funny that the Reed haters wanted him to employ someone who wasn’t a yes man, he did, yet Reed still gets blamed when we lose.

Cedric again caught out unable to head the ball properly, like last week you have to question whether he’d have been in that position had we played 3 centre halves. Hughes seems to have torn up 3 at the back which solidified us last season, on the basis of one poor half against Burnley. That said we were excellent first half, particularly Redmond. I haven’t read the comments on here as I’m not sure my blood pressure will take it, but no doubt some will refuse to accept he played well. He has definitely upped a level this season. At the end of the day, Cedric, PEH & Vestergaard made major mistakes that cost us. Our home form is woeful, but I’m pretty confident we can turn it round. Last year we were deservedly getting beat, this we’ve played ok and could have won both. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Whilst you can’t develop pace, not that anybody said you could, but you can absolutely learn vision. What do you think, players like Bally & Le Tiss never got better at seeing things the older & more experienced they were. KDB never had the vision at Chelsea he’s got now, Ryan Giggs started as a flier, developing his vision as his pace went, so you’re talking pony on that front. I’m not even convinced by your argument about his pace anyway. He seems pretty quick to me, above average I’d have said. He may not be an out and out flier but he’s no slouch either.

You’re looking at it the wrong way round. How average is Sims that he can’t get in ahead of Redmond & Long. Don’t you think managers wish they had better players, don’t you think they wished they didn’t have to keep picking Long, etc. They’d love for a fresh young talent to come I’m to replace these players, excite the support & move us forward. The fact they haven’t played JS after watching him train & play week in week out, isn’t out of blind loyalty or love of long, Redmond & Austin, it’s borne out of the fact they don’t think he’d do better. The way to look at it is this, if Sims was any near as good as some seem to think, he’d have replaced these duds by now. He hasn’t been afforded the same opportunity as Redmond , in exactly the same way Juanmi wasn’t given the same opportunity Mane was. It’s not an under 12’s team, let’s give everyone a chance. FFS. You earn your chance day in day out, he’s clearly not shown enough. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic and it’s gone over my head. Because if you aren’t, we may as well close voting for stupidest post of 2018. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lots of players improve with age, they get better the more experienced they get. Some players evolve and their game changes, as they rely on their pace and athleticism less. Clearly it’s less likely that a player like Redmond will, as many of his type don’t but to say he’s at his peak now and won’t get better by much is clearly nonsense. Some players make massive leaps in their late 20’s. He’s clearly looking better this season than last, although it’s really too small a sample to really judge. The thing is, had he been a new signing this summer people would be saying he looks like a promising buy, based solely on those 2 games. Of course they won’t accept he’s done ok because it’s Redmond. Some of our supporters can’t contemplate that they’re wrong about him, so are unwilling to give the guy a break. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

WTF are you on about. Have you been drinking or is English not your first language. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Are you a parody account? First Pep, now Koeman, who will it be next, Cruyff? He never picked Redmond over Mane or Tadic either. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What on Earth are you waffling on about. Who said anything about Pep. How the **** would anyone know what he thinks of our players, it’s not his job to pick one over the other. Did you watch the whole 90 mins on Saturday, because I’m surprised anyone would claim Redmond was the worst player on the pitch. Did you shut your eyes when Wes, Cedric or Rom went anywhere near the ball. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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.
