I agree, I'm all for equal opportunities but not for the sake of it.

to launch an aerial assault you don't need too much control, you just need to lift the ball high into the penalty area, whether it be by throw in corner or free kick, or just lump it up there. When Watford came to us at the start of the season their midfield totally destroyed us. I'm not advocating MP as a good manager, but we have gone past the point of no return this season.The club buying the forward who seems to have been the managers choice surely says he is here to stay and so we have to get behind him and the team. The players seem to be giving him their backing by the performances recently. If they wanted him gone they had their chance against Spurs. Tadic is he had the final ball or could finish would be worth £50m

that's a tad unfair, he comes on here when things are tough on them, not like the others. Anyway could anyone give us an update on their promotion push. I only have Sky and all the other terrestrial channels, but not the Disney Channel to watch and so don't hear about their progress.

And when we had to defend the long throws corners and free kicks??? He had to react to Watfords changes, they didn't score and we won. Job done. If you were watching the manager he was signalling for Tadic to push up alongside Long to give us 2 up front. Even top team come under the cosh when 1 up in cup games

What number was he? I thought the handball expert was pretty good, but he seemed to have the cleanest shirt I haveseen on a player, even at the end of the game

I see Puel looks to have to have found a diamond from the French 2nd div, he does look an exciting player.

for someone who thought Pelle was useless I suggest you are a busted flush when talking about forwards lol

can you post up the games he scored those goals in. I recall the Sunderland one and the Bournemouth one, cant recall the others.

I think you are wrong. Yosh came on in about the 60-65th minute, don't tell me we didn't make an attempt after that (although with our shooting!!)

it will get to the point where you wont bother celebrating a goal until VAR has said yes

lol

or prejudice clouds clear thought. I think it may be a mixture of both

I'm not sure what you are getting at, this week he brought on Yoshida to counter the extra attacking threat that Watford brought on. The away game he didn't use his subs and that was not brave but reckless. Hopefully he has learnt. He was on the sidelines constantly coaching the side, is that what he normally does???

not a scenario that we are likely to see. lol

Watford brought a massive forward on, he was basically a 6ft 3ins lump of muscle. So bringing on Yoshida was sensible. Sadly with a couple of minutes left you expect Yoshida to use his experience and not give away soft fouls just outside the area for them to pump the ball in. Luckily we scrambled the ball away before cedric gave a throw away that left them to nearly score in the last second. Overall I thought we were head and shoulders better than them. Again we squandered multiple chances, but we did play some good football. Both wingers played well, Shane gave it all, and the midfield did well. Romeu seems to have put a lot of timber on

His lack of pace was telling. He looked energetic and won a header. I wish him luck but I was hoping for a taller and zippier forward

we still created chances when he took off Boufal, the fact is that we made numerous chances and failed to take them. Watford I agree, were allowed to come at us but they would have done that anyway as they had nothing to lose. It was a brave decision that worked. Watford were dire and perhaps we had a lucky escape not getting Silva

sometimes you can be kicking your heels too long. Zlatan and the lino cost us us

Letsbe, you can try and justify in your mind that Puel was no good and that you were right in wanting him gone, but I doubt if either of us will live to see us have a Wembley cup final appearance again in our lives. Puel was hung out to dry by the club not giving him a forward who could put the ball into the net. We both have been to many games that were 0-0 ,we have also been to many games where we won 1-0 in the most tedious of games, the feeling after each the 2 are different. Puel was unfortunate that we just didn't put the ball into the net and so the general frustration (understandable) built up. I doubt you would believe that had Puel stayed we would be in this position now. He would have got players in and also the style of play would have developed. Anyway, we march on together

FFS whats wrong with people on here. No wonder we get little info on hre because everytime somebody puts up something they get torn to pieces. I put up about Stephens wages and was told it was lies until it was confirmed by MLG who put up an article confirming my info. The said people scuttled away without apology(except Hypo to be fair) Anyway thanks AR10

i cant read French

I still think the goal with Solent commentary is best. It seems to be deleted online. To think we got rid of Puel after that, it really is laughable

I have never heard of him, the same as all the other foreign players who have ever joined us, I don't do fifa football manager I suppose. It is sad that our fans are happy to listen to 1 French football journo and make an instant decision that Guido is no good. Perhaps it would be better to see he fits in our team and if he can score. It is pretty important the club has got this right,if he is indeed rubbish, then welcome to the Championship. Welcome Guido and I suggest you don't read this forum as a large part of the posters aren't very good judges of footballers anyway and some want the team to fail just so that they can say 'I told you so'

agree, I recall how the fans last season were begging that JRod had to be kept. The club loved that so they didn't have to buy another forward, which in turn came back and bit us. We need someone who can do the job now

Looks like a political salute, Klopp bangs his badge on his chest like that lol
