Nail on head.

He doesn't like losing. Who does? he is also probably very hacked off with Mane's behaviour and Wanyama's stupid tackles.

Everton have got just 2 more points than we have. Do you think that they are worried about relegation right now?

As to opposed to unsettled players of other nationalities?

No Juanmi on the bench today. Injured?

What parts of the dressing room has he lost? Is it his fault that Mane is a tw*t or if Vic's head is elsewhere (if that is indeed the case)?

And why was that? The same happened the previous season and we finished 7th. There is no point in wetting yourself until there is good reason, not just because you think something might happen.

Many were worried before we had kicked a ball this season. We showed what we can do against Chelsea and Arsenal so we know what the team is capable of but it is time to dig deep and get this poor run of form sorted out. To state the obvious we need to start converting chances into goals and if that means buying another decent striker this month then get on with it.

I understand that managers often like to put a player on late in the game in order to slow the game down and waste some time, but what is the point of putting on a player with a couple of minutes on the clock if you are chasing the game? No matter what you think of Ramirez he is hardly likely to make an impact in five minutes. I am not one of the Koeman Out brigade but I wish Ron would give subs a proper chance to make a difference on the pitch.

The last thing you need when things are like this is a lack of discipline. Wanyama and Mane both need a good dressing down for their respective lack of discipline today. ***ts the pair of them.

I am serious. You think that the club is run by a bunch of clowns so perhaps you ought to spend some time elsewhere to get some kind of perspective. By the way, go look at Steven Davis's article. He seems to think that the club is well run even if you don't.

Do you really think that CL level players will not actually move to CL level clubs eventually? Tell you what. Go off and support Everton or Stoke or whichever club you currently have a thing for and see what it is like supporting them for a few seasons. Then report back and tell us all how you got on.

The trouble is though that most clubs are looking for bargains. And how do you know if you have bought a successful bargain at the time? Many players you pick up on the cheap don't make it.

For contributing very little you can read learning and improving your craft. We talk about giving academy players more Premiership game time. Unless you are unusually gifted it takes most players a while to reach their full potential and to do that you need time on the pitch in the 1st team.

Every club buys players that for one reason or another just don't settle at the club but go on to have decent careers elsewhere. You can do all the due diligence you want but until the player starts playing for you that is when you know it will work or not. There used to be a time when the furthest a player had uprooted himself to play for us was Scotland. We have players from all over the world now including Japan!

In which case that is a good thing isn't it? It means they wont get poached by any of the top 4 clubs What about Vic? Hasn't he been linked to Arsenal though?

Serious question. Do you think any of our players are any good?

Mane is a top class player.

ditto!

We are also on the cusp of European football.

Can we also have a category of live within our means but also spend some dosh?

Good luck with that wish Norm!
