Well he was asked so what can be say? He can't just come out saying players are ****. I think he knows now.
Thank god. I was beginning to think Lascelles was captain and had played 100’s of games for us. Under many different managers. Who all seem to think he’s good.
This is even more worrying. Lascelles has played more games for us that Shelvey has. Holy ****. We have been royally shafted by Ashley.
Yes it's actually unbelievable that he's not only getting gamea, but actually captain?? I have to say if Howe and his team don't figure it out then Howe isn't the right guy
Yes, as should Howe, yet he;s picking two in CM and we're getting ****ing spanked by Leicester reserves.
I was thinking shelvey was playing well until today,, but that's the thing he's ok vs the lesser teams, but vs the better ones he hides in front of the back 4 which throws the other cms under the bus and he just pings balls around
An even bigger concern is. Darlow Clark Lascelles Ritchie Shelvey Hayden Dummet Shelvey Gayle Have all survived since 2016 and injuries aside most are still playing regularly for us. **** me.
These players are all simply not good enough, but in only a few weeks they'll plug a few holes and then we've got a run of 8 games we can get points from.. 9 if you include Everton
Those players have already proven they are not good enough at the basics to get us the required points from those 8 games. We need the players in on day 1 of the transfer window, I'm highly doubtful we will have the numbers required by end of January let alone the 1st. The only hope of getting players in early is the ones on the transfer market from the likes of Barca, and they will all cost big bucks and massive wages and want relegation release clauses inserted. I can't see us parading the likes of Ter Stegen, Dembele, Umtiti, Denst and De Jong in the early days of the window as Barca will be hoping for bidding wars.
Man united home Everton away we need 4 points from the next 2 forget it. Tbh I think they'll be lucky to not lose the next 4
Shelvey hides in front of the back 4 leaving willock lost. Willock has been poor though but who wasn't today? that 11 was a strong 11.. This injury crisis stuff was nonsense really..[/QUOTE]
No you’re not. Show me anyone who said we should be competing for a place in the top 10 with this squad and meant it.
I see you can’t. Lucky we didn’t bet or it looks as though you would have lost again. You haven’t even shown anyone saying it never mind meaning it.
I'm laughing at the mean it part... It shows you will just say it was a joke and it can't be proved otherwise. Why deny it? It definitely happened.. This was being said to be the strongest squad anyone's had when it was Bruce mate. Your expection was top 10
