Fernandez MOTM for me.....a good no nonsense centre half, good signing and nice to finally replace Johnny Woodgate
Again I actually feel upset the opposition didn't get what they deserved... This season is going to be brilliant
This is going to be one long, hard grind of a season. **** you, Mike Ashley, just ****ing kill yourself.
I reckon the 3 in the bottom 3 now will be relegated. Cardiff and Huddersfield I reckon are definitely down. We have the best chance due to Rafa and being basically hard to beat but I can't see who else is going to replace us. Maybe Saints. I just can't see where the wins are coming from at the moment.
Positives are we played Palace and Cardiff away, we should be more competitive at home and may look at both results as good points. Negatives are we look a bit hopeless in attack, switch off at times defensively, don't look as fit as last year, got quite a few points against the top 6 last year and have got 0 so far, and Joselu is literally our only hope... Bring on the next game
I'm not worrying too much just yet. If we are failing to beat teams in the good run of winnable games after the Man Utd game which last up to Liverpool on Boxing Day then we will be in trouble. We need the team to get better at scoring goals, though, no doubt about it.
Now we just lack someone to put the ball in the back of the net, a number 10 and a winger that can actually get the ball into the box
After the match yesterday, Benitez put his arm around Yedlin, and walked with him a bit. Then Yedlin seemed a bit defensive as he acted out what must have been a game situation, Rafa then seemed to indicate that someone was much taller than Yedlin. The television coverage ended before the discussion did. Lee Ryder picked up on it, and it made its way into his comments with the player ratings. Is Yedlin in the doghouse?
