so AR10 is not a fan and has been at various clubs. A player perhaps? joined on here July 2016.

if you think we should get rid of the manager to see if Jrod is still likely ever to be a decent player you have lost it

of course it depends what the ingredients the chef has to work with. If you have the finest fillet steak you can make the most wonderful Chateau Briand, if you have brisket.... Mane and the like would make the manager change the way we play,

cynical I know but increasing a contract is better for club and player. The player gets a wage increase and security,the club get a higher transfer fee when they are sold

when I'm doing it, it is the highest Whitey

you are correct, I don't so often due to business commitments. How can you play 3 when they have not been available? I do get the problem of the midfield, Davis is a good servant and is tidy until we go on the attack. JWP does some delightful crosses but there is ever a forward or midfielder in the box to take advantage, until Gabbiadini arrived. Do you agree had Long been more prolific earlier in the season things would have looked up? He just doesn't finish the chances he has had and so the team are frustrated and become disjointed. I watched many games last season and the football was poor but Pelle or Mane would score and gloss over a mainly possession based game all in the midfield. We havent a squad that is any better than most in the middle of the league and that is due to constantly diluting the quality of the team

depends who is marking him I suppose to get to 6.5 out of 10. If it is you then that is 9 in most decent judges ratings lol

I would suspect that signing a contract is different to getting a player to stay if an offer comes in for those players. If the club really don't want to sell then we would see how good Les was at persuading them to stay , at present I expect he is on 0% success rate

don't highlight your lack of assessing a players ability . I always thought the saying was sarcasm is the highest form of wit lol

Redmond derserves to be one of the first on the teamsheet. IMO he is one player who is worth the entrance fee to watch.

Jrod is a difficult one. I get what you say but his goals against Bournemouth and Boro show he has still got something but whether he can ever get back the man re remember it is hard to say

but that is the point of ths season, in the summer we were crying out where were the goals going to come from when we sold Mane and Pelle. Long is a fine team player but has never been prolific, Jrod does not look the same plyer. Had we had a decent forward who put the chances we created at the San Siro etc the season would have looked far better. The reason the games were so turgid was because the high number of goals being scored has not been there. Gabbiadini put the ball in the net for us and all of a sudden it looked like we were a better side when all it was having a better finisher. For me Mane was a player who got you on the edge of your seat and however poor we were paying he was likely to do something marvellous, that is gone although I firmly believe Redmond will do that more next season (if we keep him) Also I felt the performance at home to Liverpool in the EFL was a wonderful performance and better than most I can remember

He has coped without Mane Wanyama and Pelle. All would walk into the side add to the Loss of VVD Fonte, Austin and Gabbiadini (add Boufal to that although it doesn't seem much of a miss ) you have a very lower mid table team. I cannot see any combination of players beating any team around us consistently with the squad he has, and he has done a pragmatic job in keeping us out of a relegation scrap. Please tell me how we could have been more effective a side without risking us slipping into the bottom 5 or 6 places with what he has at his disposal. play 2 up front and that makes us less solid defensively, ca you expect Long JRod to get us 2goals a game?

we were very lucky to draw with Millwall

yeah shame we didnt play weakened sides in the tournament sooner so we didn't have the day at Wembley

are you sure of that comment??? Especially as his away results would mean he lost nearly half the games

I have just hacked into Les's computer and found a questionnaire New Manager application form Questions in a yes or No format 1. Do you want a transfer budget If your answer is no please go to next question 2, Are you subservient If your answer is yes please go to question 3. 3. Are you happy to take the criticism away from anyone else at the club If the answer is yes please go to the managers office and start your job

yep put his dugout in the disabled section and they can sort him out

Stam lol

he d have to be miracle worker with our young players lol

he got 7 in

To swop Ranieri for Puel is a big mistake IMO. I haven't seen evidence that the players are not happy with the manager, the perfomances are not showing lack of energy for the team. Not reading many peole begging for Silva today, and watching the lack of fight and want to win by Hull hardly shows him being Mr Motivator

I assume some will want Paul Clement in as manager

yep RK could turn a 15goal a season player into a 35 goal a season striker he is so good. I agree though he is a better manager than Puel, but I recall you telling us how bad his team was last season how how useless our centre forward was.

I still cnt get the vision out of my head of Corbyn and Abbott and their fling in the 70's..... Of course they were on a motorbike tour of Communist East Germany at the time. Just what they would love our country to be
