He reminds me of one of the chefs you get on Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares who have lost all belief and passion in their chosen profession. We need Gordon to take him to coach a local futsal team in Barcelona team to re-energise him!

You look at the scoreline and it was a decent draw, away to a team on the up in difficult conditions. However the reality of the match tells a tale of a team devoid of ideas, cohesion and a defined pattern of play leading to relegation form underlying match stats. We're just so painfully dull to watch; constantly recycling it backwards, attacking players isolated, a noticeable lack of leaders on the pitch and I hate to say it but a GK who has an error in him. There's nothing about Marti that screams he has a plan currently, from his interviews, pitchline presence, the tactics, team selection to use of subs. If we're stuck with him (which I fear we are) he needs to take some time out to reconnect to his football ideology and then watch that game back, as you'd hope even he'll see a glaring mismatch.

It’s true, I got headhunted for it. Politely declined and said I was happy running my local bowls club.

I’m dreading the day I open the internet to the news we’ve extended his contract.

I think it’s fair to say unless he cuts out the silly mistakes (which seem pretty regular) we couldn’t rely on him should we ever harbour serious ambitions of a top two finish.

Al as in Alan Carr. I knew that Celebrity Traitors win would go to his head.

Bollocks we’ve equalised 😆

Can’t decide if the commentator has never watched us, is trying to create excitement where there is none or is just a moron. Or all three!

Good point, I’ve never actually seen Cruyff play. Maybe he ambled around, took up the space of his teammates, slowed play down, looked permanently injured and won fouls.

Blows my mind that anyone could watch this and decide that Ayew needed keeping on.

I just have no idea what he’s trying to do. We have no style of play, his in game management if extremely poor, we just don’t attack or create overloads and look unfit. Really hard to state a case for him staying other than apathy, the shitshow above him or a difficult squad. But in his job as a head coach players neither improve nor look like they know we shy they’re doing.

Teenage me kept more clean sheets than these losers.

Performance is mirroring Hamzas hair; bit of bouyancy to start but flat as a pancake now.

I’ve picked Ayew in the Deadweightpool.

xG of 0.05 and your only goal threat goes off 🤩

25mins in and you don’t know the name of the oppo keeper of a newly promoted team isn’t great.

JJ can’t continue then. I’d still keep him on and sub Ayew off.

Matty James without injuries would have had a sterling career.

Not expecting this to age well, but have a feeling we’ll win this 💪🏻

I don’t want to be pedantic, but we’re not bottom on 3 of the 4 shown let alone any stat going. Sorry.

Hamza is defo inverting into CDM leaving Okoli in a back three. He dabbled with it at the weekend.

£84m for the first team, £2m for the ladies, £2m for the kids, £2m for people to run the spa, £90m for Rudkin. All seems reasonable.

You watch U21 games like this and can see why players benefit from a loan. Huge difference between playing in that game vs in front of a large divided crowd with teammates who need to win to put food on the family table. I know every player is at different stages of their development, but it’s the difference between taking steps to becoming a footballer and being good at football.

Stay in concourse until the 78th minute to represent the number of days between his “I wanna be together” announcement and the match. Then we all walk to our seats wearing Top masks.

Well I look forward to watching our social media and commercial teams working out how to monetise the signing.
