Think the worst part about the atmosphere isnt a lack of singing or clapping. It's just the basic roaring on of the team. When the atmosphere is good you get 30k people shouting "GO ON" when someone gets the ball in space, someone makes a good tackle or we get a corner etc. Most of the time it's just limp. Feels like a lot of people (and to be fair i'd probably put myself in this) turn up to the football more for the social than anything else.

They've been charged over a hundred times and they employ hundreds of the best lawyers on the planet. It took ages for Everton's one charge to be punished. They might be getting away with it but they won't get away with it.

It's quite worrying how similar we are right now to how we played in that stretch from Southampton to Bournemouth where we were never really outplayed yet never looked like winning a game or being ruthless in a match. Such a soft underbelly to this squad. Ipswich and Leeds have - time and again - been in bad situations in games this season yet they always look like they're going to come through it. The moment the second goal went in at the weekend it was game over. Am I right in saying we only had two shots on target after that? Those being the freekick that Begovic saved and that Nelson finished off? It's always "It'll be fine" from literally everyone at the club with absolutely nobody willing to stand up and make sure it will be. That's fans, players, staff and the board. Looking forward to being 2-0 down at home to Blackburn in May and people making out that it's good because we're resting players for our Play off games against Hull who will have done the double over us. It'll be fine.

Have you seen Inglorious Basterds? One of my favourite films and that's only 30% English.

Dune good

Days like Saturday are why the Championship is so utterly shit. Literally not a single thing about it was enjoyable.

We must be absolutely on the brink financially. If we don't go straight back up we are bang in trouble.

That's mainly what I'm referring to.

Shape needs to change as a result of the fact we have no midfielders. I would play two strikers. More of a 4-4-2 out of possession with KDH dropping deeper. Hermansen Faes Coady Doyle Hamza Winks Fatawu KDH Mavididi Iheanacho Vardy Out of possession it would be more Hermansen Hamza Faes Coady Doyle Fatawu Winks KDH Mavididi Iheanacho Vardy

The issue is that the whole club is rotten to the core of a "we'll be fine" mentality. There's no standards because here's no punishment for failure. The club needs gutting and I think it needs to start with Rudkin. If Top can't see that then he needs to sell up.

That is genuinely fantastic news. We've just got to hope he doesn't break in the run in and the points record is in the bag.

Not that i'm getting carried away but Enzo Fernandez is suspended for our game against Chelsea now. He's their most important player IMO. If Chelsea take they eye off the ball then we can beat them.

I think this is a bit blown out of proportion because of the bad feeling of the Leeds game. We went away to West Brom and Southampton (two certainties for play offs) and won both games. We went away to Ipswich and Leeds, played very well in both and could have won both but for freak deflections and huge missed chances. Went away to Coventry and would have won if the referees had eyes. The only big game Enzo hasn't turned up for was Leeds at home. I think it's unfair to tarnish him and this squad with the same brush as Rodgers' team. I think we'll put QPR away at the weekend and everything will calm down.

Shame his developing years were spent with Rodgers.

You probably need to grow a thicker skin mate.

I don't think Stolarczyk's distribution is actually all that bad. He played some lovely passes to put cut through their attack and put us on the front foot. The only issues were when he was pressed and we didn't provide an out ball which is normal I suppose for a young keeper. I just think we're heavily reliant on Winks when playing out of the back.

For me he has to play and we should keep Ricardo in the 8.

Superb performance again. Been very good in 2024.

Praet is literally useless.

Raiky has been tidy on the ball but a shambles off it. Doesn't mark anyone and gets caught ball watching and wandering.

Fast start.

Got to have the worst (best) goal to hitting the back of the net ratio in world football.

Same with the last two rounds **** knows who you'd play as the central midfielder when Winks isn't likely to play.

It's an operation he would have had in May. He's not in Inter's plans so he may as well get it done with so he's fit and ready to sign for whoever in the summer.
