he's something alright 😂 For a guy who is so pedantic and quick to correct anyone over the slightest little thing to suddenly start a transfer thread about an individual when there is no sign of him coming here is just plain weird and against everything he normally stands for 🤣

100% right.

Yeah, Ralph’s remark at the fans forum kind of nailed that door shut.

If true I wonder if this opens the door for a new experienced defender that’s been talked about lately?

West Ham have been pretty disappointing today tbh.

If we got anywhere near £7 million for him it would need to be delivered by Santa cos all our Christmases would have come at once !

I try not to think too much about Rodgers and what he looks for in a player. Anyone who happily forks out for Vestergaard is suspect 🤣

I think he would be ideal for us. While Leicester are all over the place get in quick with a bid and test the water. At least he’s proven in the Prem and that’s gotta be a big plus mark for any striker we look at.

I do wonder if as soon as it went 4-2-2-2 the players thought to themselves that this is the chance to show we are more comfortable with this and vaguely know what we are doing !

No Redmond……maybe someone has come in for him……or is that just too hopeful?

He’s dropped Aribo for Moi? Dear Lord 🤦‍♂️

It’s bloody stupid isn’t it? If you haven’t got a top to put back on you either drink it straight away, keep hold of the bottle so it gets warm in your hand or stick it under your seat for some twat to kick over. What harm do they seriously think a plastic bottle top will do.

Yes I dont think JWP or Romeu are involved in any of it, certainly Romeu had his career here bought back to life by Ralph after Hughes seemingly thought he was crap.

In a nutshell

I think Ralph’s time has come, especially with defeat tomorrow. But how many managers have these players down tools for now? There’s a core group that have been here throughout - Stephens, Redmond, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, possibly Bednarek. Are any of these the running off to headmaster shouting “we don’t like the teacher” I wonder…..

The only other thing is I hope Ralph goes back to the players today and tells them that some fans have suggested they aren't trying. Any sportsman worth their salt would go out next time and strain everything they had to prove that's not the case. I wonder if these players have got that mentality in them ?

I have just watched it and didnt really pick up on most of the negative things stated here like body language etc. The only thing that really annoyed me is MS statement about if the fans arent "on it" the players wont be either. Thats bullshit, im fed up of fans being made to feel like its their fault when the team are crap.

Jesus Christ what a load of tosh. We’ve had it if this pillock stays beyond the first 6-8 games

He’s gonna be near suicidal in a couple of months then

Yes but if you wanna hear a rowdy fan in the crowd shout out "Ralph you're a twat" listen live, they will cut that bit otherwise 🤣

Thing I don’t understand about Ralph is if building a team you buy players who fit the system you want to play. It’s now, bar two or three, his team, his signings. So you have to assume he gas been given the players he wants to carry out his way of playing………then he totally changes it to some horrendous half arsed occasional pressing while the rest of the time we play five at the back with a couple of mainly sitting midfielders in front of them.

Rejected by Southampton, signed by Liverpool........how will he ever recover ?

and for us ! 😂

I cant believe we have reached the 22/23 season, the club have spent more money this summer than in many a year yet we still have to talk about Jack Stephens. Should have got rid years ago, but no, we give him a new bloody contract which is hushed up out of total embarrassment by the club.

What always happens after a decent run. Ralph thinks he’s the cleverest man in the room, starts coming out with weird ideas, nobody knows what they’re doing and it all falls apart.
