Oh do give over, he's just played too many games that's all. Rotation of the CBs hasn't happened, well apart from Toby going forward of late and Maya getting a game or two. We have 4 CBs, that shouldn't be 2+2 that should be a straightforward 4. Too many players playing too many games for sure but lay off José, he's done well but has been worn down.

Talking to me ? Yes we should not have played the 2 senior CMs, just as I said yesterday, what I feared happened exactly as I feared it would. We lost and picked up suspensions by the bucket load.

Perhaps he's the 7 million £ player that Hull bought him to be eh. Perhaps the transfer fee is overquoted as well.

I think we struggled to score goals last season when JRod went down, changed the end of our season for sure, he was on fire and boosted by his England call. Can't wait to get him back, he's just what we're missing, fast, hard, good in the air and adroit in front of goal (usually). Him taking so long to get back is seriously damaging us because I don't doubt that the club expected him back (even in cameos) by now.

Although some might argue that we were 2nd because Utd,Arsenal and to some extent City had atrocious starts, probably due to games between themselves or WC players not being available or whatever have you. 5th is still good, so would 6th be at the end of the season but anything else would be below expectations of many because Koeman said we need to make the EL.

And Forster...he's alright though so that's 10 million (a bit steep it's true) in the not so dusty column.

Koeman has done a good job but he got it all wrong last night. No manager in his right mind would send his only 2 DMs out on 4 cards in the first place, to then compound it by taking the booked one off in a game that was getting tetchy even to the manager's benches, it was just suicidal. Unless of course he wanted them both to miss the Everton game and be available for Palarse and Chelsea for sure.

Not by me that's for sure.

Now I see that he's whining about Clough not showing him respect...welcome to England Ronald.

Not quite with you there but when you have 3 CMs of which one is injured and the other 2 on 4 yellows you do not send them both out against a 3 rd division side in a MM Cup game on a northern quagmire in midwinter. To boot you put your regular LB at LM and a kiddy at LB, you then realise that the kiddy isn't getting the job done at HT so you take him off, play your regular LB at LB and put a no hoper at LM. Then when you need to take one of your CMs off because the other has been booked you can't because you've wasted your sub possibilities on some half baked schema that dawned on you whilst you were having a crap or something. Koeman was criticised for some of his decisions in Spain, I can see why now. I mean when Victor got booked the game was up for him, no game on Saturday, so take Morgan off and leave Toby in MF with Victor, nope he leaves Morgan on to get booked and takes Victor off.

aided and abetted by the powder puff midfield that we'll be forced to put out thanks to Koeman's stupidity.

Koeman said he wasn't fit for last night and he doesn't appear in any of the training galleries, depends what's wrong with him really, could be something quite minor or a recurrence of the injury he had a while back.

There are books with several endings, most commonly known is the French Lieutenant's Woman, 3 endings.

Lorks, I'd better not watch that then, I'm still wondering what happened to Sid and Cassie or why there was a wooden boat in the middle of nowhere in the last episode of Terra Nova.

Wouldn't come and we probably can't, expect they're already a bit miffed by us sending Taider back.

What difference would that make really.

The size of the squad might not but the contents of the communal purse probably do.

And when he did start at Hull he got sent off..he's a typical middle of the range south american player. If you want top whack it's 30 million £ and 80/100k a week, if you pay 10 million and 30K a week you take pot luck. If you can't afford the best, south americans are best left alone as far as the UK is concerned.

Rift in the Lute ?

you can probably trace it back to the Sunderland game, we might have got over confident. Too many internationals playing too many games, too many cards picked up in pointless Capital 1 Cup games, we've driven our players into the ground perhaps. They were so excited that they wanted to give up their days off, they obviously thought that there was some point in that surely.

They used to, I've had tea in pubs before, Barbara Castle obligé so to speak.

Box the little bugger's ears a bit, he'll soon knock it off.

It's not that easy, he's on a WP, means we can't loan him out in the UK without the host club applying for a new one, which he probably won't get, him being dire and all. Sochaux took a punt last year and no doubt regretted doing so, he probably on far more than a club can pay for a player of his level so we're stuck with him.

Bumped the thread on Reed for you all, see where you stood on it then. We really need to be careful what we spout to the Express/Mail when things are rough and the fans need a quick confidence fix.

Can't believe anyone is talking about relegation really, it's not an issue now and won't be in the spring time.
