    We have worse players.

    There's a whole host I'd want rid of before him

    I've just had enough of him, it will never ever ever work with him thinking he's Biily big balls in the squad, **** him off and ship him out.

    We don't need to worry about that... Its a squad game.... Replace the underbelly with better players than our best players an you're then stronger

    I didn't think he was bad today tbh....he was sprinting back to make tackles at 4-1.

    We need better players 1st

    Seems like nufc fans always go after players that can actually do it on their day...

    I can think of about 45 players I'd replace before max.

    Shelvey? Jesus how many more years of that lad? Murphy? ****ing hell.

    He's a luxury player that was good on the eye in a very **** defensive by-gone age. Class against over the hill, old , slow and thick as mince defenders, and utter **** when coming up against ones more physical, smarter, faster and classier. Other than one edge of the seat dribble every 5 games that actually comes off before he misses the target or runs the ball out of play he offers **** all else other than free kicks for Chris Wood to **** up his headers against.

    May just be having a bad weekend, was dragged to ****ing Beamish against my will yesterday and had to watch the match in a ****ing Caravan park today, 2 things that top my list of hates, caravan parks and ****ing Beamish Museum.

    Absolutely on the money. The fact is he is a selfish player who plays for himself.

    He stood out when we where ****.

    I agree but at the end of the day you replace the weaker players 1st and we've got much worse to cull.

    Nah, had friends from Cumbria over for the weekend who watch Rugby League rather than football. In the warm up they asked who the fella with the bandages was and what was wrong with him? I had to admit he dresses like that every week and that the manager would be terrified of giving him the captains armband as he'd wear it on his forehead.

    I still

    We've got worse players in the 25 by far.... I'd like to see us field a stronger 11 in all areas, but I'd we cull the few half decent players we could end up worse off..

    If they replace the underbelly with better players than our best players then you're stronger.

    To a certain degree I agree with you. However, You being a thinking man. Answer me this.

    What is the difference between a **** defence hoofing the ball over the top and it coming straight back at the defence putting them under pressure, and ASM trying to take on 3 players too many and the defence coming back under pressure other than style in which its done in?

    It doesn't alter the fact we'd be better off with max and a better player than a better player and Murphy.

    Hayden Murphy lacelles shelvey Wood Darlow ritchie Fraser Manquillo

    These all need replacing with better players before I replacing max.

    If they never cull that lot you could sign anyone to replace max and we'd still be a relegation threatened club.

    ASM needs dropped at the minute mate. We're trying to play a 4-3-3 with a slow target man up-front. For this to have any chance of working with any effect, he needs crosses from the left and the right and for that to work it requires the full backs to overlap and to get crosses in. We're a busted flush as teams must know that no cross is coming from our left unless Targett ignores ASM and does it himself. Willock is at least 1 stone or 2 too light to be a threat through the middle which means teams only need to concentrate on nullifying the Scottish Tyrian Lannister on our right flank.

    As I say mate I've loved the guy in the past, had a bit to drink and may be on my period, just sick of this ****ing bunch of arseholes spoiling my Sunday dinners, especially after a long break.
