Weekend Debate

This is a problem all over the park for me due to FARKE doing a Bielsa and not rotating or using subs early enough. Players on the fringes not getting game time and so like Spence not getting match fit. Gruev, Bamford, Joffy, Anthony, Joseph, Shackelton………
Players on the fringes have to work their socks off in training and when they get the opportunity due to injuries and/or suspensions do enough to stay in the team.

In fact that's exactly what Struijk, Archie Gray and Kamara have done and are now undroppable because of it.
 
Just so that Emu can blow a blood vessel the news that Byram will miss at least the next 2 games and Firpo is out injured for a lot longer, means we don’t have a LB. Djed Spense will have to be better than yesterday and let’s face it Archie wasnt ultra safe at RB. So selling 2 LBs because we had Firpo and Dallas was pants and another big bollox up still not rectified.

Jammy is a FARKE fanboy but his insistence that Ayling, Cooper and Bamford is great for the team doesn’t add up. Bamford is a huge wage burden and Ayling now injures himself almost every time he crosses the whitewash. We need new blood in
This could cause huge disruption as I’m guessing Farke will bring Cooper in and shift Struijk to left back.
 
They're definitely good for the squad Doc given that those you mention have previously achieved promotion with the club and are excellent senior pros to have around a young group of players.

Farke made the decision in the summer to stick with them and actually Cooper & Ayling were both first choices back in August. The fact other players have now usurped them from the starting eleven bodes well for the future of the club though and therefore next season will likely be entirely different.
Ayling isn’t even making the match day squad anymore so not sure how he’s helping?

Well today’s reports are that Southampton head a list of clubs wanting Charlie Cresswell and the same with Gelhardt who has a long list of clubs but Hull City are closest to grabbing him. It’s fine FARKE saying he wants these 2 players to stay but their agents and themselves may say no thanks I want to play I need to play…….

There’s always a long list of clubs after them. That wouldn’t be their agents blowing them up. Naah surely not. Just me being an old sceptic

FARKE said he 30 players in the squad who are all needed. Im betting most of them will get little time on the pitch. I remember when Bielsa had 60% of his small squad out injured and some wanted him sacked. That final season I bet Bielsa wished he had 30 first team players. We saw disgruntled players too as Drameh said he wanted out because he wanted to play football. Summerville did it too but then Marsch talked him around. I can see Joffy and Cresswell deciding they want to play rather than not play. Be very interested in getting Hayden Evan’s view on Cresswell as he is his agent. Joffy’s agent is the same as Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale etc so not going to watch his wage packet reduce in value. Maybe Phil Hay would be better trying to find out what Evan’s thinks and writing a good story on that instead of speculating that the club may not want to let anyone leave

Away all day doing Santa with the grandkids. Great experience as always. Managed to keep reasonably up to date thanks to Twitter but as doc says looks like top three are breaking/have broken away. In other news Villa another incredible win. 15 in a row at home wow
I’m confident you explained he’s not real, just an out of work drunk and kiddy fiddler, and any present they get will be crap and break. And really parents have to buy all the pressies as fat Santa can’t be arsed. And Christmas has been going downhill for years, they’ll never have the fun kids had 40 years ago.

We shouldn’t be selling anyone to Southampton given the current state of the league table.

i started off reading this as light hearted and funny but then it entered a dark space and then at the end i felt smug having experienced many real christmas .

Everton win again and look to climb away from relegation.
Punishment? Absolute joke. They know how to look after their own
I think this says everything and what the fans know is wrong with the premier league. Found out late last night that Newcastle are going to bring in 3 or 4 top top players on LOAN from Saudi clubs, which is just another way of cheating

Pity the people who take on this seasonal job nowadays.... wouldn't touch it with the proverbial, unless the barge pole was to keep the gender confused, selfie taking, social media obsessed little darlings at the length of it... deserve a ****ing medal and a top present if they survive the ordeal without being charged by the end of the store closing :emoticon-0173-middl that
