I've been pretty neutral about Redmond, with the exception of insisting he isn't the out and out striker Puel thinks he is. But I was finished with him tonight when, fairly early in the first half he beat two defenders for pace then ****ed up. Now that in itself was ok, it happens, but he had the bloody nerve to turn round and blame a team mate for his own error. It was fkin unbelievable. I just wonder what ****s like him who blame anyone and everyone else does for team moral !

:lol:

yeah well look at the tosser they have appointed as manager !

Unless a deal has already been made to bring someone in ?

Forget the love in with Redmond for this one Claude please. I would go with Austin, Boufal and Long with the possibility of Sims and/or McQueen to come on if Tadic isn't fit enough for the bench.

he can crawl round on his hands and knees as long as he keeps scoring !

So you are saying West Brom are better than Southampton are you ?

Great positive words from the club historian

Liverpool are away to Man Utd the weekend after the first leg........weakened team against us maybe ?

Mane in African Nations, Courtinhio still injured (6 weeks) and over two legs anything can happen. Enjoy our first semi for 19 years !!

sky bet has it at 10.15

Shearer v Arsenal for me as I am old enough unfortunately.

yes, excellent comment from Keown on MOTD saying he should have had the good grace to acknowledge Sims performance on debut too

Best we have seen this season except for the German in the Sparta home match.

exactly, doesn't reflect well on Koeman that he hadn't even heard of the boy, that's pretty disgusting actually. Blatant lie.

an opportunity that he seems to have forgotten he has in the past few games. its his strength, you are correct, but its been rarely used recently. Im not sure it is a myth, on many occasions he has been the centre of the three and in that position his decision making is poor. But he's a young player who has been told by the manager "i dont play wingers" so hes had to adapt. Its not his fault.

have to agree. The desire to make him a striker and trailing it every match is doing us no favours.

Long made a '**** you' gesture to the fans ?

JWP has a good game, we think he's turned a corner, he hasn't, he is crap in the next match. Jay Rod is totally devoid of confidence and is rusty as any player I have ever seen. He needs to be loaned out to refind his touch, playing him in games in the Europa League has hindered us. Why didn't he play 90 mins against Crawley a couple of weeks ago ? It was an obvious game crying out for him to build some confidence and fitness. Redmond is not a striker, he will never be a striker and to play him as one is ridiculous. He was awful against Liverpool and no better tonight, he's given up running at players now as well. Clasie - no comment. Martina - no comment. Long - needs a goal Boufal - still settling in and finding his feet but he will come good. Puel - I think he is stubborn and will stick to what he believes which means we will become more and more predictable. A poster warned of this before a ball was kicked, its looking like it will become a major failing. We have to buy a striker in January, there are no two ways about it, if we don't it's going to be a very tough second half of the season. i feel for all the great supporters who have travelled thousands of miles across Europe and spent a small fortune. Not a single goal and two awful performances, Milan the only performance worthy of note.

He was superb, his best game of the season by far. I can't speak for others regarding your "hate campaign" but from my point of view Jose has been fantastic for this club, no question, BUT like it or not he likes a shirt pull, always has done, and in this current climate that's a worry.

I think you are talking ******** Heisenberg. He's a fine player and is adapting well to the rigours of the Prem.

there is a bit of video from Thursday with Forster kicking a ball around.

That would make a nice change !

Without question, this should be a priority unless he is edging his bets of course.

lets hope he stays sat on the bench !
