Cup manager at best no way to win PL someday  with him . 

Lucky we arent 6th because brighton could have won easily. Think we'll be 8th/9th soon

Palace win today they go above us.
Brighton and, and Man Ure both win they go level on points with us.
And Manure are supposed to be in turmoil.
Right down to twelth can go up there with us.

It did work out, look at all the trophies we won before

Delap takes a massive touch here and slide tackles the fullback 

The striker, wingers, all poor.
I am sure you were one of the ones who said these attackers would’ve warranted a title challenge earlier in the season too, no?
Clearlake/Stewart & Winstanley have no intentions of us competing at the very top it is so clear. Simple as that. You don’t sign Garnacho, Gittens & Delap when your team has been crying out for top GK & CBs for about 5 years. Even when your manager has said about a CB publicly.
The recruitment has been wrong for so many seasons now. The manager also has to be reviewed in the summer because his inflexibility against smaller teams is killing us.  Like you need to be able to see these teams off to give yourself the best chance of competing for titles, dropping points against the likes of Sunderland, Leeds, Bournemouth just undoes any points gained against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs & whoever.
Tbf his ability was always there but it was the consistency that was a massive concern. Not to mention the fact he was always a luxury player who lacked the bit without the ball. 
People forget he’s went under a big physical transformation at City, shed a lot of weight & has had to buy into Pep’s approach where everyone has to work without the ball. 
I am very doubtful Maresca would’ve gotten that out of him, proof is in the pudding, Cole & Enzo still waltz around as if they don’t have to do their bits without the ball. Not to mention none of the defenders or midfielders seem to want to compete in duels.
However its worked out for Cherki - him going there to Pep, with top top players, in comparison to him coming here - it would’ve been a wrong move. I was 100% convinced us signing him would’ve been a bad move & still stand by it. 

Those players simply had more footballing IQ.
I dont think that sort of stuff can be coached 

Goal and assist from xavi simons ... should have got him over gittens for basically the same price 

People hyping up drawing at home vs arsenal who aren't that good , and beating barca in the group stage not the knockout (which we'd never do)

Only a matter of time before estevao palmer and caicedo wise up and put in transfer requests - won't be winning anything under maresca and clownlake

So many players who looked super promising very early on or in the summer now look miles off Chelsea quality. Just like last December when Jackson and Palmer’s form fell off a cliff.
We were in position to genuinely push on and put pressure on Arse. With our last 2 fixtures we should be doing exactly what City are doing and look where they are now after an Arse slip up. Instead, we have been left in the dust and will get nowhere near them.
Our absolute ceiling is 4th with Maresca and these players. And that’s if everyone else around us slips up nonstop like we do.

He';s took us as far as he can, end of.

Shameful.  Needs to be sacked tonight 

Tough times for the club and fans as a whole.

Should be going with josh then . Big potential and good on the ball

Another wank performance..
 
Need to seriously up in this half

Fofana colwill would have been good potentially. Fofana chalobah won't work because both are arguably only backup quality 

I will do the same and say Fofana has been better than tosin and badi combined. 
Still don't like him and would like to upgrade him. But if we had top cb and he as second then rotation for cb would be good. 

I'll cheer so hard the day Maresca gets sacked fucking fraud.

Anderson
Forest

Because James as a mid will only work against bigger teams. When we want to dominate against smaller team this is where a Elliot or Wharton would help us. 

We’re getting completely dominated in the middle of the pitch and they’re even missing players in that area. Embarrassing.

Michael Oliver giving Senesi a full license to do any type of foul.

Guiu on for Delap
