I think this was the season before the one you're referring to, but I remember there was a game against Everton in December where everyone was expecting us to get smashed, we had injuries everywhere, and we somehow won 3-0 December always seems to be bad for us. The club should investigate why really, because it seems to happen every season.

Exactly this. That's why appointing Allardyce or Pulis would be a disaster. Short term Everton may do OK but long term they won't progress.

Liverpool desperately need a CB. We don't need to sell VVD (for financial reasons or due to the length of his contract). They're not really in a position to negotiate. Pay up or shut up.

He's achieved all he can ever achieve there. We can offer more money and a return to the Premier League. He would only come at the end of the season though. He has a reputation for attacking football and that's what we need.

That is a West Ham signing all day long.

After the last poll, performances had improved. Lose against Huddersfield (a draw wouldn’t be great either) and he simply has to go

Do they speak English? If not, the resident xenophobes would go into meltdown. Look how they reacted to Puel's press conferences.

I'd be surprised, Les Reed got a promotion last season. Maybe they're offering more money, but he has a level of control here that he wouldn't get anywhere else.

Get rid of him. £80M plus though, all up front, and sell him AFTER we've brought players in. Otherwise we'll get mugged off by other teams

We're just dross. We're not quite 'utter dross' just yet

Looks like we dodged a bullet with Wimmer. Stoke paid almost £20M for him!!

Yeh, we're hardly in a position to mock the Leicester manager at the moment

Adkins did a similar thing in his last match here at Chelsea... we were losing 2-0, brought him on and we got it to 2-2. I can see the logic in doing it, especially since Austin does have injury issues. Had he scored, it would have worked wonders.

Where are his forum fanboys? They've gone very, very quiet.

We're fortunate that there are some utter dross teams in this league.

I'd like to think that Les Reed is drawing up a list of replacements and sounding them out discretely. We don't want to do what Everton did and sack the manager willy nilly without a plan. I don't think we'll sack him at all tbh. I just hope that he is backed in the transfer market and we get players in early.

We're not going down. They're not going up. Hope that helps.

Huddersfield is a must win game. Lose and MP has to go, along with half the squad.

Just play Hesketh next time. Anyone but Redmond

Look who’s time wasting now

That was good. Let’s hope Chelsea get a bit nervous now

At 1-0, we still have a chance. That’s the only positive I can think of.

Bloody hell

Why take off Hojbjerg??? How is Redmond getting 90 minutes??? Baffling

Phew
