Progress

[kenada_blue]

The 7th place trophy is back!

That was always gonna be the mission this season, wasn't it?

 

[Bungle]

Williams and Gueye have been good signings.

And also in Enner Valencia we seem to have managed to sign one of the most morally bankrupt characters in the league, only the best is good enough and all that.

be very limited progress until mccarthy, jagielka, lennon, mirallas, duelofeu, valencia, oviedo, funes mori, cleverley etc are no longer getting games.

 

[Bungle]

Has it?

We still seem to have the old concede pretty much every shot we give up problem.

Dunno mate, I'm not a huge football fan.

 

[Professor Toffee]

We scored in the last minutes rather than conceded in the last minutes

 

[Ashtonian]

We need to change the squad and get rid of a fair few players who are not top 10 standard let alone top 6.

I'm not going to make my mind up on anything manager based until we give him his players for his team. We are crap, here is our proof finally.

You are supporting the right club then

 

[Khalekan]

So after today's result let's try and be positive. The defence has been better this season even if it does look like Jagielka might be just about done.

What other signs of progress have you seen since the change in manager?

None.

None whatsoever.

And even the improvement we thought we were seeing at the back early doors has largely dissipated since Stek was hit with a feather and let that goal in against Boro.

In fact I will go further and say we are actually moving backwards as our young players have been pushed sideways.

We have four wide men, three of whom are vieing for one position as a player whom is not IMO as good as any of them is undroppable on account of the absolutely ridiculous money we paid for him.

Not a popular opinion and no doubt some fellows will want to rubbish it but hey, I am only answering the question as posed in the OP

Sell the lot of the gutless, static pigs

I think this is a major problem right now.

You are suggesting that we get rid of those players and they should not be getting games yet most you listed have not been getting game anyway...

Its the "good" players who are an issue as well.

Should have kept Big Vic, I bet he pays his child maintenance

 

[Eggs]

He's bought players spent a fair bit his inability to get rid of the baggage - Klopp did that we give Gibson a contract really?????

...I think it's difficult to move players on. They are on mega contracts and content to see them out. I think Gibson was fortunate to get an extension when we were in the transition to a new manager.

I'm not supporting Koeman but I think failure to 'get rid of the baggage' is a situation we have to accept to a certain extent.

Napoleon, snowball and the rest

 

[ToffeeTim]

There's been slight progress. But long log way to go.

 

[blue to the bone]

Bar lukaku and maybe Coleman we haven't a player that would be a regular in any of the top 6 sides. If some of these players played for a team like Middlesborough or Watford we wouldn't want to sign them
