Unless JFC has had personal issues, I have no idea why he hasn't been put of Gus' 'away form shake up' considering how good he was in January. Would LOVE to see him play again this season.
We lost 6-0 today. Obviously Gus' team selection did not work and he'll inevitably shake it up and change personnel (I hope). In my opinion Navarro and Dicker together proved to be a poor combination. I'm not sure what part of that you don't seem to comprehend.
For a team who were battered from the word go, we were vocally pretty decent today and some of the banter chants are still ringing through my head now.
"Da da da da, f***ing retards!"
I can see why Gus chose the team he did. But at half time it clearly hadn't worked. Why in heaven's name he took off Assulin and kept Dicker and Navarro on I'll never know.
Vicente looks like the kind of man who, after playing in Spain his whole life, needs to feel comfortable where he's playing in England. From his interviews he's settled in well at Brighton, but still relies on Gus/Calde for translation. I'm not saying he won't go, but it'll need to be the...
All I'll say is that LuaLua is clearly a better starting player than Buckley. Buckley is a better impact player.
Oh, and I'm one of the few who thought CMS had a good game.
'Great bunch of lads, top team.
That Vicente is some player.'
Not sure if he was trying to be ironic like the rest of them, because if he was it definitely failed.
