With ~5 minutes left to get back into the match, you'd like to think they looked a little fussed.

Gave Barkley a high five and ran into our half. Not sure what else you are expecting.

Our views are different my friend and only time will tell.
At least you see the manager is not the messiah which is refreshing .

Ha ha

I give up all that stuff when I was over the moon signing Claus Thomson....

Imagine him going mental, ripping his shirt off and doing a lap and we're losing 3-2. It's a goal you don't celebrate, you get your head down and run back to your own half.

I know what your trying to sya mate, the club is bigger than any one player, sometimes losing a top player can actually improve the team etc as the focus shifts onto others, but myself think right now after basically 20 years of utter dross strikers we will rue the day we didnt make more of having him here

Maybe mate

Maybe its an idea to sort the left side in front of the full back.
When we played bournemouth poor galloway got ripped to pieces

We need a Pineaar

Poor handling, rash decisions, poor positioning, poor distribution and general panicking with a real obvious lack of coordination.

You know all round useless.

Think you're imagining it mate. Or you're describing his very early games for us.

In his more recent outings he's been calm, made good saves, came out and actually caught/punched things away (imagine that!), and his distribution has been great.

How anybody can still back Howard after the last two seasons I've no idea.

Yeah I imagined how poor he was against Reading and Barnsley.

If you don't like my view, just ignore it... See the contradiction?

Moderators also don't have the ignore function.

It's not good for a forum to have a single member monopolising a thread with posting frequency. It's good to see different views...

Bit off topic, well a lot off topic really, the ignore function works fine for me.

I didn't read above and automatically thought he was talking about howard

Not having a go at you, but (lol) he's signed some smashing players....

Galloway - future England player imo
Mori - argie international
McCarthy - one of the best DMs around
Deulofeu - potentially world class
Lukaku - potentially world class

Five players there in a couple of years who are top notch.

The only negative for me are his stop gap signings...

That's because you're not a real moderator.

To be fair you're underestimating how difficult it is to come into a competitive match and just turn it on knowing that you are expected to scurry back into the U21s regardless of your performance - especially for a keeper.

The truth hurts, but nevertheless, it is true.

Don't confuse people, everything RM does is rubbish and he is out of his depth
