I DEMAND BANNAN IS PUT ON NOW TO REPLACE HESKEY !!!

Can someone please tell me WHY THE **** we are still playing HESKEY?

WTF did Heskey hoof that away. This is shit, REAL SHIT.

Get Danny Murphy as manager.

"Sir Alex Ferguson wrote to me after the appointment, a proper letter, talking about his feelings about Alex. It was something you don't easily forget and it's now in a safe deposit box. Given what Sir Alex Ferguson means to the game of football, I don't think you could get many things that you would be more proud of, or reflect better on Alex McLeish."

Inevitable.

Heavy defeat incoming. We are rubbish against Harry's Rednapps Tottenham. They keep the ball too well an have too much flair for us.

I see the customary 1 in every 5 games masturbation fest is well under way for our Gabby. Wouldn't swap him for Messi heard it all now.

Yes he had a great game today, on the wing :winkold:

Back in this team this weekend please. Get the feeling Mclown is using this 'punishment' as an excuse to play Heskey.

I think most people apart from the most stubborn would take a fit Houllier over Mcleish now the sad realisation of Mcleish's era has set in. Hate to say I told you so and all that. The Mcleish's apologists can't even use the usual clichés because they have been proven to be unfounded - sorting out the defence, lots of fight & spirit etc WALOS

At the moment we are a nothing club with no purpose. Even Birmingham City have a better manager than us who was freely available when we tapped up Mcleish. :|

Meh

Bring back Houllier.

Our 3rd defeat in a row. Confirmed by Barry Bannan's needless omission.

Do people who don't rate Bannan actually watch our matches? More often that not he is our most creative player and he's only 21! When I think of Messi and Ronaldo at that age they were no way near how good they are now.

Houllier would have turned him into a monster like he did with Gerrard. I'm hoping Mclesh doesn't stifle his development too much, though sadly it's inevitable.

He is a bit immature - even for 21. His tweets sound like they are being sent by a 15 year old. Can't knock him on the pitch though. He suffers a lot playing for us because most of our players are on a lesser footballing wave-length.

He's good enough to play In Arsenal's first 11 for sure.

WTF of all the places to end up they arrest him in Bulwell You'd be hard pressed to find a more socially deprived crime ridden dump in the UK.

I don't have time for drink drivers very selfish and damn right dangerous. I hope he is reprimanded accordingly.

Has he closed his twitter account btw as he has disappeared from my list?

Put Heskey up front as the target man then at least we have the time to get the attacking midfielders up in support - with Bent it just comes straight back again. Either give Bent the support that is needed to make him of use or ditch him into the reserves and tell him to change his game because lame-ass, lightweight, frontman is of no use to us at all at the moment !

Ugh. A great example of why I hate people who talk in footballing clichés.

Drop Bent for Heskey, honestly

Anyone who doesn't think Mcleish should take some blame today is living in that famous Egyptian river.

Not the first time this season we haven't achieved a single shot on goal which is beyond shocking and beyond acceptable.

Would we have won the match if Herd hadn't been sent off? Maybe

Are we a shit football team? Definitely.

Ref will get the blame because it's convenient and will detract from how shiit we were. Did we have an in-play shot on goal in the whole match? Bringing Heskey on is a PROVEN pointless exercise. Taking Bannan off again when he looked our brightest player (not saying much, I know) was poor from Mcleish.

I'm trying to decide which sub was the most inept. A tough task.

I said before the match Dowd would **** this up for us and alas it has transpired.

We're going to get battered in the 2nd half :cry:

Phil Dowd?? Might bet on West Brom now.

Been watching he's just been doing what he does for us really passing it about. Pass completion must be 100% I've not see him give it away yet.

Agree with the people saying stop moaning about money etc our team not exactly cheap itself plus most of their expensive players were on the bench!

We did try and take the game to them which is what most people wanted so we can't complain there but our attacking tactics/blueprint/cohesion seems to be non-existent.

MON: Counter attacking wing-play.

Houllier: Tippy Tappy possession football.

Mcleish ???????

He is trying to play attacking but doesn't know to implement a winning style, or is still trying to find it.

Oh, and Hutton is rubbish!

And Gabby should have passed to Warnock for his chance.

We gave it a go tbf but again our lack of attacking blue-print or cohesion let us down. A team of strangers. We are rubbish without Bannan.

Gabby back to shocking today , surprise.
