Well this morning, Mccarthy was the answer to our midfield! He came in, we're just as bad and the answer is Barkley to the middle? No

No the answer is fook Barry off the useless gimp. All he dose is gift away possession and walk round kicking people.

 

[orly]

we need to get rid here

PHENOMENAL!

4 points behind RS, about 12 behind Southampton and Utd, 9 off Spurs.

SEASON OVER AT CHRISTMAS

Thank you your mighty Stubborn one x

"But there was a lot of positives to take from the game...yadda yadda yadda" I.e we didn't get beat 1,000,000 - 0 and the world didn't end

Baines now carrying a knock too...
I hate this match

 

[R.Reddington]

His position is defo under pressure now. The fans are getting fed upm

I think when you sign a player who has terrorised defences across Europe for years, you play him right up front ( i'm not watching the game but presume RM isn't playing him as an out and out striker ?.

Exactly he's clueless.

He thinks he's Guardiola he's more Pardiola the dopey Spanish kernt

 

[orly]

utter and total garbage

 

[Caolam]

We are in trouble. Big trouble.

 

[Abraders]

i haven't said that anywhere, i'm on record wanting to explore the idea of the one partnership that had us going forward on the pitch, barkley and besic, obviously besic is ill, but having your most naturally gifted player playing waaaay out of position is ridiculous, not sure why anyone would be agaist the idea of seeing him in a position that clearly got the best out of him

Fair, i like besic too but personally want to see him with mccarthy in the centre and Barkley in front of those two.

I think 'way' out of position is off the mark though imo, he's still playing as a midfielder. When he has the ball at his feet he has to do more

 

[davidloach]

Meh

 

[R.Reddington]

Half empty at 87 mins. The fans don't believe.
