LDN Blue

Tbh Jason, I did believe this.. I really did. But even then, as a coach he should have done his homework. It's not even that hard. All he had to do was spend an afternoon looking at how we concede goals and why we're so nervous and he'll see the weak links that contribute to these things.

Well I think if they continue to pressure the ref enough to give us a dangerous free kick, Willian could nick it

I mean ffs, we're making ROONEY look good!

No game plan, no effective counter attack strategy, no collective defensive tactics. It's literally a case of hang on by your fingernails and try not to get injured or sent off doing it. You'd think players would take a bit of initiative - If you see Ivanovic being isolated and targeted, get over and fucking help him. If you see Hazard getting overcrowded and bullied, give him an avenue to distribute the ball to!! Schoolboy errors, hell even school boys play with more fluidity & common sense!

Nah man I'm actually pissed off. What a poor fucking performance.. These players don't give a shit lmao. Is this what we signed Pedro for? To teach us the way of bitching and crying to the referee about everything. What a spineless display. PLAY FOOTBALL YOU WANKERS.

Fuck sake, you were right about everything. I fucking hate this team.

You have to say.. With those front 4 all capable of interchanging positions, they could cause havoc for Untied's defence if they attack intelligently.

....touche sir, touche :tophat: I truly have nothing to say against that because you're right :lol:

For sure man.. But that's the consequence of our stance in the league now. We have to settle until we're back where we belong and THEN hopefully we can pull of some actual proper recruitment

What's with Hiddink-Van Gaal tensions? Seems LVG doesn't like Dutch managers, doesn't he have problems with Koeman also?

Fair enough then, do you see him as a long-term n10 or CM? Traore and Kenedy, yeah I guess you have a point, but from a Hiddink point of view (correct or not) perhaps this is not the time for inexperience? We need to get out the relegation scrap first.

Yeaah, I mean I always assumed it would be an alternative pairing.. Eventually then paired together more often and it'd work. Hence Cahill signing on for 4 years and probably Terry being offered another extension. Terry - Zouma Cahill - Zouma Terry - Stones Cahill - Stones Zouma - Stones

But Oscar's playing no10? Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't RLC seen as holding/central midfield player? If you were upset about Mikel I'd understand, but our hands are a bit tied with this position aren't they?

And who do you suggest plays instead of him? Please don't say Musonda either.

Gotta have hope my friend!

That's why I think Lukaku would have no worries about coming back if we were to go for him in June. He'll relish the fact he'll be the one other will have to compete with as opposed to what he had before.

Stones got suckered into that challenge, showed his inexperience today but cracking game!

Lol I see that, but you don't understand my point. Hiddink been left with this shit squad, he's been ushered in under circumstances which are not ideal at all and he's still trying to find the best way to utilise them. We got our wish of him taking Fabregas out the equation last weekend and now he'll have another chance to see where else he needs to change things. Remember this is only his second game in charge.

PENALTY to Soke!

Let it be Deeney, please let it be Deeney!!

Let's just wait for the match to play out first Only on TC are people as, if not more, wound up before the game start than after!

Lool but do you really think he's going to change anything now? Ivanovic's experience makes him valuable to Hiddink or any other interim manager that would've come in. Right now it's about getting out of the relegation battle.

I mean.. I don't see how anyone can be unhappy? If you actually think youth integration is happening from today, especially when Hiddink has virtually given all the players a 'do over', then this is a harsh wake up.

https://streamable.com/jwtc Great goal from Deulofeu! Lukaku & Barkley involved again. Can we just sign them?
