The Doctor

man can't verify his wanking age though given driving licences expire at 70

honestly get Winks and Daka on, look to move forward with pace, because this is turgid

six yard to 18 yard box perhaps

With the way we're playing, a striker who doesn't look like he's turning up to the parkrun after a night of booze and dodgy kebabs would do. Like, we're drawing them out and on to us, a bit of pace up top and a quick out ball and they'd be ****ed

****ing dodgy backpass that Thomas, look first.

literally one tactic of give it to Abdul

sitting far too deep and inviting pressure

Page leading the press, Ayew just not there at all. Can't press with just one or two players though.

we're looking quite lightweight. Very easily knocked off the ball

Thomas just completely missing there. fair play though, Soumare looking fine so far

Abdul smashing Gray

Abdul

ftfy

Ayew arriving at the box after possession has been changed over twice. That's our Vardy replacement

I mean, against us why wouldn't you? Vestegaard has the turning circle of a small planet.

Soumare is the pinnacle of human build. Noone slowly follows their quarry hoping they'll drop dead of exhaustion soon quite like him

Just cannot be ****ed with another week of Skipp and Soumare dawdling around while Jordan Ayew goes for a lie down every time he gets the ball.

I don't think he'll ever get back to his best because his best was so heavily defined by his athleticism. Rodgers disgraceful injury management ruined his career in terms of what he could have been (was in the England setup discussions before the injury)

at that point thats a 4.6m loss. Say he's on 80k a week which was the sort of wage we're throwing about, that loss is basically immediately recuperated by a year's wages off the books.

would have been not far off his book value even under PSR rules as well wouldn't it?

again, we have 4 midfielders to fit two spaces in a league where you play essentially twice a week for the mid stretch. The entire squad needs to be utilised to get through that. Whining that a manager is trying to set up the squad to do so is just weird.

ruud could also start a fight in an empty room, I don't think the atmosphere around the club was that great with him in charge. Whether you think he's shit or not, he's less shit than Skipp and Choudhury and with a dearth of options and no transfer plans, is going to have to play. Getting outraged that Cifuentes is trying to get the best out of him as one of his only options in a key position is honestly pathetic behaviour.

that's clearly not what was said was it? He has the technical ability but lacks application. He's obviously not being sold this summer as we're not buying anyone to replace, and the alternatives (in a pick two situation) are Choudhury, who also has no positional sense, Winks who wants away, or Mordors entry to the face of kinder competition. It's obvious he's going to have to play frequently so Martis job is to get him playing to the best of his abilities, and building him up might work, certainly just constant bollockings haven't so far

absolutely stupid. Actively trying to get relegated and we'll deserve it

nothing wrong with Miquel. She did a passable job in a team ravaged by injury. If the goalshy behaviour continues with players back then fine but I don't get going for Beard. Man seems like a ***** as well
