    And he likes a small squad so he can play square pegs in round holes... he values flexibility and interchangability. Therein lies the dilemma

    As for James at centre forward... it clearly doesn't work, but there is a logic to it. He works hard is quick and leads the press. MB obviously thinks he's best placed to do what bamford does out of posession. Joffy is far less mobile.

    For me Cresswell should have started and had him Llorente, Firpo and Ayling as a back 4. Im just saying he chooses the team and hes more qualified than you or me. He s picking ghe team like that because of the small squad. I would also have played Joffy up top and not James

    My memory is not as good as it used to be but
    If I remember correctly the rot started with Kalvins injury in the internationals
    So I recon we should blame Southfork
    Sorry gate
    That’s why I don’t like internationals to me club should come first
    And those who think Bielsa should go, then be a good lad and go away

    Without wishing to encourage the doom mongers, I think we've still got some tough games to get through and I think we'll continue to struggle until we get some key players back.
    I'm not looking forward to the next 3 games at all.
    Batten down the hatches.

    Two worst performances of the season, last night and Southampton away, both times wearing that navy blue strip <doh> I reckon that’s the reason.

    Get rid of it and we’ll be fine :biggrin:

    I blame him for our current position too. In the premiership.

    If this was his first season we wouldn't be playing man city, .we'd be playing Plymouth argyle.

    For some strange reason I'm really looking forward to Saturday and a massive match against the Arsenal.

    This is exactly the sort of fixture we were missing for 16 years and the fact we're out of sorts and struggling at the moment makes it even more tasty.

    I'm just loving the experts on here. Perhaps we should sack Bielsa & employ our NOT606 know-it-all mob to replace him? #IBWT

    As for signing a couple of midfielders to bolster our squad, I'm guessing the advocates for this have failed to notice that it's attack & defence where we have devastating injuries, not midfield.

    Go? He will not go and i would be surprised if the club had asked him to stay another season.
