This guy transforms the team if we can get him.

Can he play CB then?

I too was pleased, still naively hold some hope that he will come good, you have to wonder if it is purely psychological though, as despite not being as good as people made out when we signed him, he's not as bad as he's currently showing. One thing it does highlight though, is just how good a playe...

Don't worry Smuts, things will even out next season.

When we don't have any European football, Kudus and Paqueta will leave, and we'll have a championship level attack too.

I'm sticking with 12th.

That's the Bielsa and Guardiola in him.. high pressing.

Would have thought a professional would be able to change and adapt though, it's not like Moyes is asking him to learn a foreign language.

The club might have identified these players prior to Steidten's arrival, but he is the one responsible for bringing them in. Who knows whether we would have signed them without him. Besides, I don't think Sullivan chartering a flying lawn mower via Willie McKay, would have had the same appeal as Bi...

He has all the tools to succeed.

I'd like Moyes to stay on and to continue working with him, Aguerd and Zouma can go though.

Hindsight is wonderful and all that..

But could we not have gone Ings for Antonio and just have a reshuffle towards something we have had success with..

For example..





Then bring on Phillips/Johnson for Ward-Prowse?

...but the shape we had at the time was working. Newcastle had to go for broke at 3-1 down and I think bringing on a DM helped them do it. Exactly this. I'm not Moyes out, but I think he needs to shoulder a large proportion of the blame, for the momentum shift the substitution cause. We might be la...

Have a good weekend folks.

Obviously another one of Sullivan's gifts..

We're due a fekin lorry load S-H Trouble is though OFT, the poor decisions live longer in the memory, because of how much blame we can attach it to a loss, the positive decisions in our favour, often get swept up in the waves of positivity that come with a victory. We are all guilty of over analysi...

It's a MIGHTY coincidence that all the super rich clubs get these "imcompetant " decisions their way isn't it It's all about perception isn't it. I don't see it that way personally mate, but each to their own. There's no conspiracy, just plain incompetence. What goes around comes around, ...

I mean, no doubt Antonio's race had been run, but Moyes could have made a positive change at that point, and not resort to beefing up the midfield. All that change did was given Newcastle the incentive, the pendulum swung in their favour from there on in. Poor refereeing aside, this one is on you I'...

Don't be silly.

We better hope Moyes signs that contract soon then...

Depends on the taxi..

Never liked him, or than sodding Cold Play song at Wembley!
