Oh, well, it only took ca. about 15 hours for that ridiculous sop to be brought out....

If so, we gave him away. Should have asked for double

Reckon MittyBittyLand might get through that.

Napoli, Brugge, Legia. Last seasons SFc would have got through that LOL at Tottenham.

Maybe we should replacement him now before all the momentum of the last 6 years is lost and an established pattern of failure and underachievement sets in.

But we could have given Juanmi more than 8 f**king minutes. He didnt even change things at HT.

Yes, considering our utterly uninspiring business over the summer. Could have been different, however....

I dont agree, Wes. We've been in decline since January (we were 2nd, FFS...), and it appears to be proceeding unchecked.

He's using the Mane and Wanyama stuff as an excuse.

Bully you.

Yes, I share this sentiment. What we need right now is some astute management in order to limit the damage. If we are lucky, we might bottom out at the same level as the early Lowe years of Ball, Hoddle, Strachan.

Yes, stick your head in the ground - as usual.

Yes, but questions have to be asked about our transfer dealings then. I think cedric will come good, but perhaps we should have looked for cover for Bertrand once we knew he would miss the beginning of the season (unless of course we were not serious about Europe anyway). I dont understand why someone like Isgrove cannot get a game. Could hardly be worse, and hes impressed me everytime I've seen him

To be fair, we've got top dollar for our players (I think Morgan was a bit cheap, tbh). Its how we've used it. I think some serious skimming off the top has been going on with the transfer revenue.

Feels like things need to be freshened up at the top of the club, tbh. The rest has to come afterwards.

Unless the confidence is so utterly shot our performance plunges even further. The players must know how f**king awful they were, and the likes of Juanmi and Cedric must be getting angry and resentful.

I think there is an element of truth here, but is it weakness or complacency ? I dont think he pushed the Toby and Clyne contract too hard tbh, he is probably always thinking he can pull the next rabbit of of his hat.

Relegation 6-pointer. F**king deja vu. We lost to Norwich away in 2004-5 and Wrigley was going on about it was a mistake about giving them a sniff of survival

My sympathies, fella

Agree with almost all of this, but rate Boruc better than you.

I am wondering if there has been more fall-out from the Toby business than we aee being led to believe. Maybe Koeman thinks Uncle.Les.dropped.a b*llock and took.too long closing the deal. And hasnt been too chuffed with our efforts since

That team looks agonisingly strong compared to the fayre we are offering this season.

Martin Samuel predicted this last summer. He warned our board not to try the same stunt 2 summers in a row. If WBA can tell Spurs to f**k off over Berahino, and Everton can do the same over Stones to Chelsea, couldnt we have done it a couple more times over the last year ?

Toby was to Fonte what Killer was to Claus. He's lost his cover and his confidence (and maybe some motivation)

I think you should refrain from such bold statements at the moment. Wernt you predicting a healthy win tonight too ?
