I think he's hoping to limp over the line and then once elected lead a scorched earth policy against his perceived enemies

But how many times did those players run clear on goal because of cheap turnovers in midfield or individual errors? I'd hazard a guess to say most of them. The problem isn't the high line, it's being poor in possession in tight areas. That isn't a tactical issue, it's an execution one.

It's interesting to me that so far this season we have beaten Man United and Spurs, drawn away at Arsenal and dropped points to a vastly improved Forest and a stubborn Ipswich, but the barometer for Hurzeler is the one game we lost? Hurzeler has lost one game since he's taken over. He's doing...

I suspect this will be the season he overtakes Pascal (without wishing to jinx it). Given his normal strike rate, I think he'll need the 25-26 season as our main or back up striker to beat your second two targets given that he's never scored more than 9 in a season. That said, he's also only...

Fingers crossed they promote some of those U21s. They looked dynamite against us on Saturday

Aren't the NSK just four blokes getting angry that football isn't like it was in the 70s? I can't say I've ever heard them.

It's because he's a "proper football man". Meaning that he despises such things as "tactics" and anything that isn't that absolute basic way of playing football. People like Potter are the reason people like him don't get jobs.

If only we'd taken his advice and played Zeqiri and Tau, eh? Just think of the heights we'd have reached... This and the HT threads on Sunday are deeply in the "knee-jerk" category. Why do people never learn and just show a little patience?

There have so many players who've had debuts like this. Loads of energy and enthusiasm, worked hard but looked rusty and struggled to make the right decision. Completely expected though, no? Never played in this team, with these players, for this manager in this league and in this country and...

A poorly coached team in 6th, having lost just once and taken points off Man United, Arsenal and Spurs, you say? Christ knows how good we'll be when we're well coached...

I came on here at half time and had to check I wasn't in a crèche. The amount of wet bedsheets would keep the local launderette so busy they'd be able to retire in no time

I can't see it. By the time Martin goes (if he does) then they'll already be long relegated. He's doing a Kompany and using Southampton as a demonstration of his style to show what he'd do if only he had the players, staying up is neither here nor there

All of them have pro's and con's so far. Would I say that: Ferdi looks worse that Estupinan or Veltman so far? No, not really. Rutter looks worse than Pedro in his first few games? No. Weiffer looks better or worse than Gilmour? Maybe, but he's been injured. Minteh (20) worse than Adingra...

If the the Brexit supporters are sending directly abusive messages to people, then yes, I do Either way, they can moan, fine, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the abuse of Webster has been constant. Webster will play for us again, that's a fact. We should be getting behind him

It's because they're thick, reactionary children

We conceded at at rate of two goals a game including 4 v Luton and Man City, and 3 against Arsenal, Plucky and Fulham. Our defending for the second half of last season was abysmal, and we didn't have the excuse of a new manager and a new style.

Not really related to us, but West Ham fans must be delighted that they hounded out David Moyes and replaced him with a worse, European version of David Moyes.

"Dunky was right about you, you bald ****"

But that's kinda my point, he wasn't that player anymore. I think it would be more sad to watch formerly awesome players in terminal decline.

The way I saw it was as follows: Ref gives a thrown in instead of a second yellow Fab goes MENTAL at the 4th official 4th official tells the ref to have a think Ref gives second yellow card Nuno goes MENTAL at the 4th official Both get sent for going MENTAL at the 4th official I suspect that...
