Exactly. We need four seasons in pl adding four quality players per season to be comfortable. Shows how important survival will be
Regarding the defensive issues do we start with 3 centre backs when Llorente is for? Push Ayling and Dallas on to the wing back position with Phillips in between them sacrificing Costa to play 3 3 3 1?
Well according to Doc, Llorente had Ronaldo in his pocket for most of the Spain v Portugal match and thought he looked the business. So hopefully he'll get a run out soon.
Sorry to hear that, Mike. In the wars a bit myself. Get well soon. Btw, my legs went to jelly when you mentioned the catheter.
ROI are playing little England, and can't possibly lose, from what you have been saying last few years.
Although I didn't see it but it's been pointed out to me. When Klich went down injured and Palace played on and got their freekick. The ball was put down for the free kick. The referee then went to see Klich and when he went back to where the free kick was to be taken, Palace had moved the ball. We'll never know how much that made the difference to the ball going into the net though.
Garry Monk Sacked again, the Wendies have had enough of him now He's making a habit of it I'll get mi coat
Sacked? Surely he was friar-ed. Never mind he can always drown his sorrows with some Benedictine. Can you get my coat as well?
I can verify that, he was solid against Portugal and marked Ronaldo out of the game, seemed to coast through the game with ease.
I heard that, although I thought that the foul that led up to the free kick was a soft one. Now I've not had a look at it again so I stand corrected if I'm wrong.
I am afraid he might of been, we have the International break and hopefully all fit (except Forshaw, he must be something special to keep him) I think Amigo has to pair up Kock and Llorente and let’s see, well the goals we are conceding is not acceptable.
So out of Koch and Cooper who has done more to deserve dropping? The only argument for dropping Cooper over Koch at the moment is that Koch is a new signing and Cooper is everyone's favourite whipping boy. On performances Cooper does not deserved to be dropped. Im not saying Koch does but we all agree that defence is a problem. If the answer is a change i find it unfair on Cooper.
At the moment neither are performing well enough but as we have little or no options, were stuck with that defensive lineup and hope they can up their games to PL standard
And exactly who do you think would take Forshaw? A breakers yard is all I can think of. No idea what's left on his contract but well be paying it and getting zero from him
Difficult one, as our best performance/result so far was winning 3-0 away at Villa, where our CB's were Ayling and Koch, Dallas RB, Alioski LB, and no Phillips.
