    Just finished the roast pork, followed by my daughter's creme caramel, washed down with a Pinot Noir. Pretty fiffed myself.

    I think it may be the only way to get through the rest of Harry's reign mate.

    I'd like a change but can't see it happening & would make any difference? Maybe, what fcuked me off sat was the subs couldn't see the point of who he brought on, we needed pace & they stayed on the bench, the fans can see so why can't Harry & his merry men see it, when I saw the team out I thought it was a no go, utd was there for the taking but yet again wrong team & tactics, can I see any improvement at present no.

    I've spent most of the day reflecting about yesterday's game mate. I still feel that we played well and applied ourselves sufficiently that any subsequent performances with similar endeavour should see us ok. However the bit that's niggling away at me is what you stated in your OP, and that's playing the right players in their correct positions. It pains me when we do it at QPR and it pains me when England constantly do it too. I should of addressed this point in my first post but for whatever reason failed to do so. Playing the right players in the right places should be a basic platform for any professional sporting team. Can you imagine an American Football team or a rugby union side trying to do get away this kind of shenanigans? So why do the so called top managers feel that they can get away with it in football? I can understand it if we had a series of freak injuries etc but it's because Harry didn't start the season yet again by not recruiting the right players in the right areas.

    He had a couple of good moments and good on the ball, but to be fair to him, he hasn't played a competitive game since December and a couple of days training so was a big ask to hit the ground running.
    lets hope he can bag a few goals in the coming weeks!

    I thought he was a cracking signing, good scoring record in his home league and Croats are always skilful on the ball. To nip in and get him ahead of Chelsea and some of the big boys was a great bit of business, shame our scouting system is still using VHS...<yikes>

    Our overseas scouting system is a triumph of equal opportunities, we've won awards for it. It's a legacy system, set up in 1996. We exclusively use blind local children who don't speak English, who send messages to Gerry Francis by carrier pigeon. Gerry sends then on to us, 2nd class mail, when he remembers.

    :emoticon-0125-mmm:We're still using smoke signals......but it's pretty hard to make out exactly what the signals say from here when they're being sent up in Croatia

    Spot on mate.
    It is quite unbelievable how so many coaches do this. Scholes, one of our greatest talents in a generation, was totally ruined by England because we had to stick to 4-4-2. Harry is out of date and just doesn't do fluidity etc.
    The team will never function and play in a cohesive way if so many players are playing out of position. Simply playing all your (perceived) best players, regardless of whether they are in their correct positions or not is ridiculous. Sometimes it's done as an experiment etc, but we have 3 players in alien positions just to get them onto the pitch in a fixed old fashioned set up!

    it was a real coup to get Kramaric, ahead of Chelsea and Juventus, it will just be a shame though that we may only have him for 4/5 months if we go down as he won't play in the championship.
