Deserves to have played more this year and I think it would have benefitted both him and Vards. Vards has started every PL game this year and you can tell, he’s nowhere near up to it. Should have rotated more like Enzo did last year. only the champ but when Patson had a run of 9 starts last year he scored 7 and assisted 3. Vardy completed 1 pass in 60 mins at Everton, 6 touches, 0 duels won. Daka in 80 mins yday - 19 passes (2 key), 41 touches, 6 duels won. At the moment, Daka offers more in general play and should be given a couple of starts, just to see how he gets on. I think we look better with him in the team. Vards’ minutes need to be handled better by RVN. Don’t care who you are - 1 goal in 8 starts deserves dropping!

Love the fire from Okoli. We need that!

We just lost 4-0 to Everton and now we’re signing someone who scored a brace in a game against Everton this season - I don’t see why people are so upset ?? *checks notes*

I agree, but that conversation has to happen in a different setting surely? Take him aside during/after training, not lay into him in front of the whole squad immediately after a loss that he’s not even been a part of?

This is pretty damning for Van Nistelrooy. Smacks of a man in completely disarray when you start to have a go at players that aren’t even playing… Doesn’t know who to blame, so just goes after random players, and picks a reason out of thin air. Yeesh.

No identity, defensively shambolic. Less goals scored, more goals conceded than under Cooper. 7 losses in a row, 2 goals scored in that time. Ridiculous substitutions. Get him gone, bring in Dyche (I know, how we’ve fallen), and try at least to be solid. We’re not that far off points wise, there’s still time but they need to pull the plug on this disastrous experiment.

Bin.

The only negativity about Mahrez’s arrival was about his genuinely dreadful haircut

And look how it turned out for them. the grass is always greener and hindsight is a beautiful thing, if Cooper had put on more attacking players yesterday and Palace had equalised everybody would be complaining that he didn’t try and shut up shop.

I think people are underestimating Palace, they were one of the best teams at the back end of last season and didn’t have a lot of their usual XI for pre-season/start of the season. I think they will come back firing after the international break. Bournemouth too is a tricky game. The 11th-15th section of the Prem has dramatically got better over the last year or so, realistically we need to focus on beating the 4/5 others at the very bottom and then trying to pick up some shock results elsewhere. that being said, we need minimum 4 points here. Not having a win after 7 games would be incredible demoralising for everyone.

You’d sack Cooper if he won 3 and drew 4 out of the next 7 games?

On loan would be fine.

To be fair to Sergeant, he was a 21 year old, first season in English football, in a god awful team when he last played in the prem. 16 goals in 26 games, a goal every 116 minutes last year, is a pretty decent return in any league. A Norwich mate of mine thinks he’s going to explode this year. he’s clearly not going to be the next big thing but we’re scraping the barrel now. Think people still think we’ve got the pull of 5 years ago, sadly not the case.

SILENCE THE HATERS. THE MESSIAH IS HERE. WE’RE WINNING THE LEAGUE
