exactly this, I was thinking just that. We aren't bad, we are just toothless up front, no end product.

ive turned off, United ****fest, hope we win if only to **** all over the atmosphere in that pub. dont think we've been mentioned yet have we ?

If it aint broke dont mend it, 8th, 7th and 6th playing 4-3-3 with players it suited. Now we have this diamond, sorry but with all the best will in the world this system will not get the best out of Charlie Austin or Shane Long IMHO

do they want Fonte to be club captain like Kelvin used to be and Davis team captain ? That would be the only change that makes some sense. Fonte wrote the Captains notes in the matchday prog Saturday in the same way Kelvin did!

Best we get a decent replacement in a bit smartish then, the thought of Yoshida as a regular isn't particularly encouraging. Very disappointed if this happens, more so in Jose than the club really.

To be honest if you thought Redmond was that bad what the hell did you make of JWP today ?

As we play them on Friday I have no doubt there were Manchester United people at the match. Anything else is pure speculation and probably crap.

Would love to know why he didn't start. Very very good player.

If they do we won't hear it in the Kingsland

Yeah but the other 4 have gone so its not a fantastic success rate

the club aren't going to comment because about 30 people on a chat forum are having an orgasm about whether a player is leaving or not.

interviews never translate well if given to a foreign paper/journalist etc, we know that from experience.

actually it's not, it's a fair comment. We looked toothless Wednesday and again today. Redmond looks a good signing but he's not a big goal scorer. Tadic is a fine player but not a goal scorer which leaves Long who won't net you a shed load of goals. Austin playing deep is a waste of time, he's a goal poacher plain and simple. And Jay Rod is so far away from the player he was before that injury it's untrue. so you tell me which one or two of that little lot are going to get the goals Pelle and Mane scored along with Shane Long or do you expect him to double his goal tally, and if he does that only covers Pelle or Mane.

couldnt agree more, absolutely toothless in attack, not sure if it's the personnel or the system though.

the question should be what are YOU doing here ?

Seems a decent guy, wonder how many of todays footballers are interested in the history of their club or town/city ? Hope he has a great season, very good player IMHO

I dont think its a case of panic, its more like people are thinking or saying "yeah this is ok BUT who is going to score?" If anyone thinks Jay Rod is going to start banging in goals someday soon their levels of optimism are sky high. Tadic, Redmond and Long are not out and out goalscorers, Austin might well be but not playing out wide and he isnt going to be making killer runs into the box, he has no pace, he has to be there or there abouts to score and this system does not seemingly cater for that. I personally think Pelle will be missed far more than many are prepared to admit, Mane certainly will.

I must say it concerns me too. I like the look of Redmond, i think Tadic will be even better with a new manager as he and Ron clearly didnt get on all the time, and I like Long but none of them are going to score us 15-20 goals, certainly not two of them. Not sure the system will suit Austin's poaching instincts and Jay Rod ? Well who knows what he will be like. I sincerely hope the playing it cool on getting another striker is just a case of the club playing their cards close to their chest. The scoring bit is my only concern, i like what he is doing with the midfield and the defence is sound.

will there be an app ?

we know but this is talk of a new improved three year deal

so you ignore the fact he was at training but focus on him not, to your knowledge, giving an interview ? ok....... I like your thinking

so have I read this right ? They aren't going to boycott the game because they don't want to cost the club but they are going to walk out as soon as the game starts ? Mental.

well its definitely no reserved seating for tomorrow but I dont know about the stands all being open. I would guess not

Some of your theories - "how will this affect pre-season bonding" - are incredible ! Bear in mind we will be playing Europa League matches and we are in the fortunate position where Puel could pick a completely different midfield from one match to the next and still have plenty of quality about it.

yes exactly, let's not get carried away. This is only useful to see the formation and how we are looking to play under Puel.
