Of course the counter argument is he would have struggled being dropped straight in. Our GK coach seems to think that and he saw him every day.

Watching on TV is rubbish. Following the ball is all they do, when they're not cutting away to fans, or managers, or a 'top' player making a funny face. I need to see the runs off the ball, the shifting shapes far from the current action, the individual battles with no ball in sight. If there...

It was the Chelsea effect that made him bad. That and managers thinking he could play LCB just because he did it well for us for a few games with Dunk shouting commands to him for the full 90.

So much I could say about how and why that was shit. So just to pick one. When was the last time Gareth actually made a genuine tactical change? Obviously just swapping out players doesn't count.

I like a formation change, but the main reasons for one seem to be that: TAA is not a midfielder, which can be solved by simply playing an actual midfielder. Lack of numbers in midfield. Which could be solved if Rice didn't spend his whole time a few feet in front of the CBs picking the ball...

Blow job and a spliff wouldn't go amiss with a cup of tea.

No specific reference to pfi though that is a rather egregious example of profit taking. And obviously pfi didn't stop being used and if anything it's implementation was even worse under subsequent conservative led governments.

A few points. We do have an insurance based model. It's called national insurance. Any other system has far higher admin costs. The problems with departmentalisation and arse covering have been exacerbated by the part privatisation of the NHS, I don't see how further privatisation is going to...

Pickford has no bravery in his passing. Really doesn't help as soon as we're under a bit of pressure we start giving the ball back. Not seen much from our CBs in that regard either, though Declan treading on their toes the whole time doesn't help. Alexander Arnold is not a midfielder yet...

It's not the balance of stones and guehi that concerns me it's that neither is really a defensive organiser. So minor tweak for one of them early doors please

Well my beer delivery has arrived, but unless I let the kids drink half of it and pass out I'm not going to have any peace to watch. Just hoping my St Paoli delivery arrives so they have something to give me tomorrow.

First time I've heard it singular. I'm sure that one has "conniptions" and that to have a solitary conniption would be most irregular.

It's fine for you to write. Though expressing reasonable opinions in clear English does make you stand out a little.

Just to add to pointless speculation we could be waiting for them to pick their new coach before we decide on a decent youngster to loan them as a sweetener

So either he is going to sign OR my St Pauli order is going to get lost by DHL. I'll take one for the team but I'm still not buying any of our Nike tops.

Sorry everyone. I got excited last night and bought some St Pauli merch so I expect this deal is now dead in the water.

Well I've enjoyed these three weeks of manager speculation. All the bitching and wailing, genuine stupidity and deliberate misunderstanding have helped fill the void until we get down to the serious business of complaining about Dunk not being on the pitch. Obviously it's not a risk free...

A years extension with an agreement to leave at a nominal fee to a German club in 12 months seems good to me. We get the final year, he gets to go where he wants, if he's injured he's got a paid year and our facilities to rehab.

As one of my highly unpopular policies should I become dictator only cheese or ham sandwiches will be served in pubs. They must also be under a glass cloche and turning up.
