He's one of the coaches...

Not quite.

Sorry but I just cannot get with having Vardy in goal and Mads up front!

Would probably be better for us in the long run if they don't though. Keeps Palace right in the shit.

You could just as easily argue that abandoning fullbacks is the exact reason we got it back to 2-2.

Is it? I mean if he was shit and our best player then yeah, but he's not is he?

100% agree but I think Cooper might be for us what Hughton was for Brighton. And oddly it might results in the exact same thing.

Proper Malmand if ever I saw one.

Nah, Arsenal are just shit. Can't wait til we play them! Wait for it....

Beating the Cherries ain't for everyone. Nor is beating Arsenal but forget that for a minute.

Let's hope Cooper doesn't follow that logic with Fatawu.

Apparently Ayew broke a record with that goal. It's the latest winning goal scored in a match by LCFC in the Premier League.

I think Brighton may well be open to selling him. They dropped a lot of money on Rutter and Minteh in the 10 and RW positions, so it's not like Buo just strolls in to take a spot. It's their model after all.

I'm not entirely sold on it being JJ, though a lot of the goals shipped have come down his side. Cooper wants to play the high fullback and I think often we are getting exposed short of cover. You'd have to look at things in more detail to see if it's the player or the system. Perhaps that's why Riccy isn't playing? Maybe he's questioned it and JJ just gets on with it? That's one for the conspiracy lot.

I think he looked fine. There's just a tendency on here to see someone new and make an instant decision on them depending on how the match is going. Said it already in the thread, I think he'd be better suited to a deeper role. Would probably need to see more of him off the ball though. As some have said he looks like he'd have worked well in Enzo's system. It's just going to take some time for Cooper to decide what's best to do with him.

I'm not a Cooper fan. But points mean prizes. Getting something against Forest now would be great, but Ipswich is the next big survival game. Win that and we've got a nice run of fixtures until Christmas that I wouldn't be worried about IF we get the points against Ipswich. The good thing right now is that other rivals at the wrong end of the table are also losing games, so anything opens up a gap. We're already 6 points above the drop zone, albeit with Palace and Wolves to play, but even if Wolves win it's still a 5 point gap. If that gap keeps increasing, there can't be too many complaints.

Really? Would like to see that.

Wow.

FXXKING LEGEND!

Shit that was close.

If we go on to win this he'll feel totally vindicated.

20 minutes vs 10. If it wasn't before, it's must win now.

The trouble is Cooper will see this performance off the bench as justification for using him from the bench.

Fats to Buo. Lads!

Why the wait?
