You're so deluded. You think it's Monk's fault that we got knocked out of Europa League by Napoli, a team that only just failed to qualify for knockout stages of Champions League. Fair enough if you don't think Monk's the right manager for us, but try not to talk so much crap.
but he started Tiendalli and Emnes in that game didn't he? He had to because he played the firsts against Liverpool the previous Sunday and had a crunch game v Palace 3 days later...he has even said that his selection was with one eye on Palace. If it was too much to ask of his players to be competitive in 3 games in 1 week (and I agree that it is) why did he burn many out at Liverpool? End result = Liverpool - 0 pts Napoli - Weakened team and an exit Palace - 2 dropped pts His decisions. His responsibility. His poor substitutions v Napoi and Palace also. I like the guy but the evidence before us is that he's out of his depth and all the tub thumping in the World can't change that, only Monk. Turns out Laudrup was right about concentrating resources on the more winnable games and Jenkins and co were wrong. This week provided the proof.
It's on Penclawdd's tortured brow That Monk-ey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the fans are going insane 'Cause Lita's on sale again See the Jacks in their million hordes From Hong Kong to the Norfolk Broads And Cardiff is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the forum's a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on..... Posters fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Mod man Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Wum?
