So why does Steve persist with Riviere?

    Does Riviere have pics of McClaren with a cucumber up his arse or what?
    It truly baffles me why this joke of a CF get's in ahead of Doumbia or Mitro.
    Riviere is so bad, I would genuinely have Shola back in the side ahead of him.

    It's almost as though Steve want's to be sacked?

    He certainly won't have been able to block out the chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning'.......

    Persist? He has played 2 games. We all know how much in the **** we are and he thought he would try something different whilst giving Mitro a rest. Why he played Gouff though is a mystery. Why he won't play Perez when he is our best striker is also a mystery.

    We have some properly atrocious players. Dummett <laugh> Anita <laugh> Riviere <laugh> Mitrovic <laugh> Colback <laugh> Saylor <laugh> Gouffran <laugh>

    Can I be quite clear, I want none of these in the championship. Pay up their contracts because nobody will buy this useless ****.

    ****ing Janmaat needs to be dropped... But wait... We don't have another RB <doh>

    Is Tiote injured again, or has he thumped McClaren? Because we aren't this **** when he plays.

    How is us having a player signed before he was the club his fault and why is he an idiot for at least trying him out when he has never seen him play?

    I bet its "He does well on the training ground so should do well in a match", Riviere kept getting starts last season as well with little results on the pitch. Would be nice to give Doumbia a try though if anyone..

    Would love to see Mitro and Perez up top with Gini in the hole. Have Tiote, Shelvey and Saviet in central midfield. Defence picks itself!

    Where is Saivet??? He looked tidy and then suddenly hes nowhere to be seen. Anita couldn't looked arsed yesteday. And I'd much rather have Tiote at centre half than Taylor. Taylor just hadn't a clue yesterday. Lascelles was pretty awful as well but hes young and needs someone next to him who tells him what to do. Dummett obviously has not been fit for the last 4 games yet we keep playing him.

    The problem for me yesterday is that once again he setup to not be beat. Not to win. That's the big problem. We are tactically setup to not lose which is fine when we are away at a good club but bad if your at home in a must win game. His decisions are baffling. But over a season of absolute crap there has been one consistent problem and that's mclarens inability to find the right balance between attack and defend. What he says in the media is not backed up with the facts. We are the second lowest scorers yet he says we are attack minding. We have creAted the least amount of chances in the league. The lowest away goals in the whole football league. He says we are difficult to beat. We have lost more games as a % this season than we ever had. He says they are doing the right things behind the scenes. What does he mean. That's irrelevant if the results are bad week in like they are. He has to go. We have to prepare for next season in the championship and what better way than to accept our fate. Get a new manager in who can assess the players for the remainder of the season and decide who he keeps and who should **** off back to France. Get rid of carr he's a terrible scout. We need to scrap this board of directors ****. It's clear that does not work. Ashley said he would spend. We did. He kept his side of the bargain. It's not his fault this time that the people who be put in charge have ****ed up on a level of abysma proportions.

    Given that he's up against our defenders on the training ground it shouldn't really come as much of a shock that he looks good !
