Paninistickers

Said it before. He's beta.

All those stats. Video analysis. Lots. Trained scouts. Off the record chats with other coaches. Yet they couldn't see what even some of the most boneheaded Facebook freak teddy bear fix leisure fans knew from the get go. The guy is......tepid. that's the word. Tepid. Just nothing.

If it looks like a clown, walks like a clown and quacks like a clown it means only one thing. Odsonne Eduard.

We're going from a low base here, but Soumare is looking ok

As much as I think Cooper's judgement is poor, I've never seen this lad play. So can't complain too much he ain't there.

Fairs. Maybe I meant I want to like him. And he's not abhorrent, a la Rodgers. Either way, he's out his depth. Shakey was too. It's no shame. I think we as fans underestimate the pressure of our job. Our fans are weird and undemonstrative but we are as passive aggressive as is possible to be.

Just gonna say same, that nobody has flagged this. Fcks sake. Ward ffs, unforgiveable. Soumare and BdcR over Kasey. Vesty fall out. The manager is likeable but is quite clearly out of his depth.

Hi mate. Always read your posts as you seems such a likeable fella. Gonna echo what the last two posts said. If you are with your mum and dad (and basically not under immediate financial pressures) then,.in some ways, try to see it as a good thing. Almost treat it like a rehab. Get up in a morning. Go for a walk / gym / swim. Build sitting and having a slow coffee and a read into the morning regime. Nip to the library, learn something super badic. Go get something super cheap from the supermarket and make it for dinner. Wash up..relax. Enjoy the evening. As said above,.little wins. Try to enjoy being sat at home and feeling safe with family. Don't try to figure life out too much. Nobody solves that

Reminds me of the old Bernard Manning joke about the fella in the supermarket buying a mushroom, a tomato and a potato...

ECB the winners. They will be delighted.

Played decent at Fulham. It's nothing to do with tactics or form or ability. I'd suggest that as a no nonsense, hugely self-confident, say it as I see it danish fella, he's called out Cooper in training

I always think we'll lose in a routine game or an absolute gimme. In big games,.I always fancy us. It's the Leicester way. Was ever thus

Copied and pasted this from striders tactics post, suggestion by @davieG Imo our best starting line up..... davieG Posted 22 minutes ago

Depends if the Clintons attended.

Water table very high. Ground saturated. I checked my flood risk which is rayed as low, but when the raging torrent is cascading down my road just millimetres from the kerb edge, I'm unconvinced the risk is as basic as the warning suggests

Might be worth a thread in its own, but what is our strongest starting line up? We all seem to be adamant that Cooper is wrong. But I doubt we all consider others' versions correct either. I think my 'strongest', balanced line up wouldn't have many takers tbh; Mads JJ or Ricky (dependent on form) VK Faes or Vesty (again on depends form and oppo) Okoli Winks and Skipp Abdul, Wilf, Mavididi Buonnotte as a false 9 ....McAteer, Hamza, Ayew, Vards, Iversen, Bilal plus 2 of above on bench

There really is zero evidence we have a succession plan for anyone, less still to look abroad. Enzo, Puel and Rainieri all had established English connections. If we'd have had Jesse March, he also fell into that camp. The chances of us ever identifying - and appointing - a talent like Bournemouth did are just south of zero.

Well, he stopped an almost certain goal yesterday in the second half. I'm not convinced Ricky would be better if I'm honest. But it does seem spiteful that he's not even been given a run to test that out. At worst it's very close between JJ and Ricky. At best, Ricky could offer us much much more.

Ashley Young has gotta be right at the top of his list plus Milner and Craig Dawson for good measure

He's a finisher,.pure and simple. Would make the ball stick, He'd time waste, he'd win free kicks. He'd be a nuisance. To start him is a joke.

This is a manager who thought BdcR was better than Stephy. Same manager thinks Ward is better than Iversen. He thinks Coady is better than Vesty. And Soumare is better than McAteer. Same manager hasnt played Ricardo for a single second.

He shouldn't be playing. He wasn't even a regular starter in the relegation season, wasnt first choice last season and now, at 38, he's starting.. I think Cooper is in awe of his rep. Vards should be on the bench and used as impact sub

Ward over a professional keeper in Iversen. That alone is gross misconduct. Soumare ahead of McAteer. Almost as bad. Also instant dismissal. BdcR over Stephy. Third and final written warning level at least. Subs at Palace, leaving a beleaguered Ayew and Vards on far too long. Dropping Skipp today. Totally baffling. Inexplicable. Alienating Vesty and Ricky. Weirdly, despite that I kinda like.Cooper but the charge sheet is far too long. He isnt at our level.

It's extremely worrying that a professional coach couldn't see what even the thickest of our supporters knew - that Stephy is one of,.if not the, best player. BdCR FFS first two games. A scandal.

Well, if like to see @StriderHiryu stats. I thought his work rate, his duels, the ground he covered and his progressive runs were borderline insane. He did, of course, muck up four times when getting into a good position. That's the rub, I'm afraid. If he could do that too, he wouldn't be playing for us. I love the guy to bits.
