Yeah but RLC can come in and do a job now. I agree we should be promoting at least 3 of those players and possibly Brown. Just don't see it happening though - that's the sad part, we'd rather let our youth players stall in development and overpay for other teams youth players that were given a chance

Dude - no joking allowed

Finally - the dude gets some game time, we win and people aren't slating the fuck out of him He should have been playing for ages now - you cannot improve and learn without playing - training only gives half the story. This infatuation with height is crazy - it's well proven that smaller players with a good leap can cope with tall players. What we need is overlapping full backs, to bolster the attack, provide some natural width and give balance to our attacking shape. I don't think the lad has been given a fair chance - especially with all of the other turmoil going on! As for Ivanovic - I hope he doesn't automatically slot back in - if he does - I will no longer be able to contain my annoyance.

Ahh that's better a win is a win - the three points care little how they were earnt. Fair play to those backing Jose - he can never question loyalty at this club. I won't repeat my thoughts on him as a long term manager - but I will enjoy tonight's much needed win. Follow it up before the break with another win and then C'est la vie... I don't believe the reports of him already being gone - I just couldn't see that working - I think the Board have decided to back him until at least the end of the season. If they have. They should come out and say that - it might put the players back in the zone. The constant speculation could be a huge catalyst for recent abysmal performances. And in terms of fairness to Mou it would make most sense.

Rome wasn't built in a day I predict in the year 2020 we will score from open play

Woohoo a win So we can top our group Now let's follow it up with a win at the weekend and go into the break on a high

Fuck power cut Gutted - let's see this out

Relax This is classic REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY (@Stingray) This makes the team talk very easy If in 90odd minutes you want that to be true, go out and play the way you have been doing. If however you want to make a name for yourselves, you will make that scoreboard change its mind Or words to that effect

LOL I'm hoping for a little more today

Yeah agreed - but does it account for that difference? I think it has to be a part of the problem - but it can't be everything. Is it our training regime? I know Poccechino (spelling?) was not impressed with Spuds and has been running double training for 2 seasons now and to be fair to the Spuds they do look sharper! Maybe we need a bit of that?

Heard that from lots of old pro's - their best form was when playing with better players - helped them raise their game...

Yeah I have felt you neglecting your duties lately and rather than spend the obligatory 30 posts on xenophobia battles, defending Belgian fans, the next 20 posting the worst images from the Internet - I thought you could contribute more positively on your psycho analysis. What's your take on Mou ? I only watched a few episodes of 'Lie to me' and love it - but he does seem shot too

Yeah the only positive outcome of this is that Remy might get game time Sad for Falcao though - was really hoping for a 20 goal season monster from him - would have been epic

Agreed - at first I thought they had fucked up and left this seasons VT on slow and last years on normal speed. The level of intensity was shocking. I know the pre-season was bad - but could it account for that level of performance drop? If so - then we need to really get a grip on where we travel...

I fell into the trap today - just to see if they could substantiate 'the rat' - but alas no rats were found I did learn though that there are lots of complex reasons we aren't winning - but our manager won't elaborate on them - they're for him to know only.... Just hope we win tomorrow

Yeah - definitely Nothing pleases me more - except of course winning on the pitch... Guess Jose is the special one - he offers something for everybody !!!

Amen to that - Mikel + Ramires = disaster RLC needs a game

Imagine 21 wins in 27 games - that would be Epic Or 27 out of 27 I know - I'm gonna go play FM

Yeah surprised me too. But I guess after the weekend - he is trying to reduce the pressure cooker environment. Take some of the pre match heat out of the situation Hopefully the players respond and we bag a much needed win. My personal opinion of Mou is on hold for now - just need to get back to winning ways - I never wanted to feel like a QP haha fan

Yeah it is a click bait - but in a way it's madness that the role of 'media' has been diminished to this level of existence. I remember the motorcycle and car journo's I worked with - they were 100% decent people and absolutely loved what they were doing and were passionate about their subject. Switch to football journo's and it's a murky insidious world... To be fair most of the journo's I knew are now unemployed - so looks like they should have been more like the football journo's But to me that's madness

Jose is playing for a draw - a must not lose game he said in PC

Lol ? don't buy into the media madness

Yeah that was me highlighting what Mou should have acted like. JT Captain, Leader, Legend. There of course is no correlation to PC and match day performance So tomorrow expect more bus parking as we don't need to win the game - we need to not lose it. I was also slightly shocked by JT's comment that tactics are worked on in Pre-season and not so much during the season!!! How does that work? Surely you need to keep adapting weekly - suspensions, injuries, form??? That's a big clue on why we are shit this season as we haven't evolved. Like that band in star wars - it's a case of 'play that same song' over and over

Fixed

Just watched the PC again JT was perfect ? he looked serious but was able to drop a bit of humour in, be self critical and still praise people in the club. That's what I wish Mou was like - JT has been battered senseless by the Press on numerous occasions - but he knows it's all just tomorrows chip paper. Well - it looks like Jose is here for the remainder of the season. So - let's hope the team perform tomorrow and the Special One regains his 'Special'
