I think sometimes people take statements too literal LTL. I am not convinced anybody hates Clasie. Neither however have I been convinced by his performances to date - I am not saying he will not come good - but, to date, given all the hype about him when he joined - even making allowance for the injuries - I am underwhelmed - but hope becomes good.

Well well well a double change. The negative system he started with was a shocking decision. But at least he has swallowed his pride and reverted to a back four at the break. We have a chance now.

Davis is off too most likely because we need end product from the three men behind the striker. I'm assuming we're reverting to 4-2-3-1. Davis has very little of that (end product) for an advanced player.

Please stop saying things like "swallowed his pride"... it really is tedious. He picked the team he wanted and has now made changes. That is all. Pride or stubbornness not involved here.

If anyone is to blame it is Koeman or the board. They decided Juami was enough, which he clearly isn't. You can't blame Clasie for the club not wanting more attacking depth.

I'm not blaming Clasie personally. I'm blaming us for purchasing him. We should have used that money and the Juanmi money to buy a better attacker instead.

It also wasn't a "shocking decision". It was one that worked fine but for a daft error. They created bugger all. We had five shots and a shedload of corners. Unfortunately we have nobody who's putting the ball in the onion bag right now.

A goal straight away with a much better system! <laugh>

Safe to say me being furious at 5-3-2 has been justified immediately.

There's no changing him. Of course he was going to write rubbish like that. He'd have slated Ron for not making changes or making changes.

Given that Ron's use of substitutes has been very poor this season (at least in my view), he deserves nothing but credit this time. So far.
