Dahnsouff

Because people don’t shout when not up in arms - that’s why it’s called the silent majority….give him to the next break and then…

Be honest, you would shutdown the first team.

Bilal, Facundo and Alves as our midfield three for Walsall.

This is very true, but I am not sure anyone willed it into existence, but maybe they did!!

You remember this slander next week Stan

Would be fine with that. edit Thinkkng about this, there would be some gorgeous symmetry in the idea that Wee Davey could keep us up and send Everton down

Think I favour the middle ground.

In what world does unrealistic expectations make you some sort of weird super fan?

Well yes, that’s what I was alluding too (and if you are trying to make any correlation between Ayew and Maddison, you are one your own here) As I said to @SafewayFox he is best served as being subbed on late on to drag the game to a conclusion with buying fouls, keeping it in the corner type stuff, something he is capable of, but you do not want that from minute 1! He can do other stuff, like scoring that worldy but yeah, it’s not really his game at all, so I agree.

Just cos your star striker Kier is firing blanks, there is no need for Trump-ish new truths is there?

That’s fine, that’s why I said squad player*. He is more experienced/savvy so should be used to that end, to help us manage a game to its conclusion. So no, he does not improve our starting XI but it’s a team game, and no he has no resale value, but that does not make them a mistake, as we did the hoped for profiteering signing in Bilal, Okoli, Skipp, etc. * re-read and my post was badly worded or at least incomplete, sorry, as I wrote “It’s the fact he is a starter, waffling about Abdul…” when it should have said “..he is a starter and that is the problem” Do agree that McAteer could offer similar to what Ayew does, albeit without the smarts. Reid? Meh

Fascinating stuff @StriderHiryu

And those fans were wrong. He is fine as a squad player. It’s the fact he is a starter, not even saying of Abdul should start, even Buounatte would be a sensible option

It’s not too early to hope, but King Power do not roll that way, so it’s to early to expect.

That was by far the biggest disappointment today.

Adrift of what? We are fifteenth

Of course, but my confusion is why a certain portion of the FT faithful, think it’s the wrong call. They are not as close too the squad, are unlikely to be as well informed on the physical state of players, so I can only assume this desire stems from previous evidence, which is a bit of a favouritism conclusion. Don’t get me wrong, today underwhelmed massively, but that is a different thing.

Does that make it correct then? This passing interest does not sound like a point of knowledge, more a popular one.

Why are they big calls? Isn’t that his entire job anyway? We may have fond recollections of any player, but they are memories and if they do not fit in to the new managers (for better or for worse) plans, then he will replace them. Be pissed of he didn’t, but yes it would be nice to see last seasons Ricky, Abdul, but it must be his call until he gets it right or buggers off. Today was a real low point, a poor showing, poor team ethic until the end when we went more gung ho. We are at the point of acceptance for our position in the table, but it sure does look precarious.

Of course it is, he has done it before and been far better than today.

Assumed it (the post you were responding too) was a post match disappointment post. At least I hope so!!

Do you mean Skipp? (All these Tottenham lads look the same) edit . Saw you realised.

His dither on the attack as to which pass to make today was frustratingly, hilariously charming.

Ah, so we are planning to hold tight to Everton, stink the place out, and drag them down to the EFL with us! Might be the only way to get them to flush I guess.

It grim, as any team with anything about them would have beaten us too!
