Shakespeare was brought in by the team. What a strange comment. Clearly Smith, you know the head coach As was kelly and Terry developed under him

Apologies. You were pretty brutal to him though. So, to be clear. You would stick with Smith?

No we dont. But as he chose most of his staff and has developed them I'd say he deserves praise

Yeh he needs changing. There are a million fans with a million ideas of what we need to do. But sulking and saying manager out is not not ideal and needed at this time. I I thought the fickle fans had disappeared

I just think he knows.more.than me and you. I you shouldn't jump on managers back at every opportunity. Especially one who has.brought us so far.

I agree with most of what you say but the Smith attack is just bizarre and unjustified

Yep. Nakamba and Luiz, let SJM push up in Barkleys position

Yep. Were not far off Europe so leeway on all of the above. I'll humour you and my comments. Leeway on not making changes when its clearly not working? YES HE SHOULD HAVE MADE CHANGES. Leeway on playing someone who is a complete liability and offering nothing for 7 games? WHO? BARKLEY HAS SCORED. TELL ME YOUR STARTING 11. I AM INTRIGUED Leeway when Nakamba keeps getting left out despite clearly being in the best cm in the games he has played? 2 GAMES RIGHT. HE DID OK. DIDNT.JUSTIFY A START Leeway in not rotating players when playing 6 games in 18 days despite players clearly looking fatigued? WE HAD A WEEK OFF. BENCH NOT.GOOD ENOUGH . WHO DONYOU ROTATE? Not making subs when playing poorly? YOU HAD THIS ALREADY.DOESNT COUNT 2 years of the same issues, sorry, I'm all out of leeway. ARE YOU INCLUDING A PROMOTION AND SURVIVAL WITH AN AVERAGE TEAM. HES DONE WELL .RIGHT

Christ. Have you seen our position in the league. A bit of leeway please.

Yep. Too many ball watchers indeed. Midfield needs a shake up. Stick Trez in there

I would ay McGinn or trez in the Barkley position. We need more drive

Me neither sad isnt it. I like VAR but then use.needs to be reduced by 80%

No but next to Luiz he could be, clearly like Luiz he can join the attack now and again. Any other ideas?

I'm not convinced. Seems too small without having a good.range.of.passing

Spot on It's the midfield mix.that is causing us.problems. now we have Barkley who doesnt like.tracking back along with Jack. This is a recipe for disaster. We need a defensive Mid next to Luiz ASAP. Who are these resilient players.you talk of?

Stick mcginn as defensive mid

I even put Billings name down as an option. Anyone!

So Smith last year he played too attacking and was to naive last year. Roll on one year, he is playing a striker with 3 attacking players who dont defend well. This and Leeds was on him. He needs to learn from this to stop teams cutting us.open so easily. We miss a genuine ball.winning midfielder, if it was.me McGinn needs to be in a deep lying role with Luiz

The problem is.midfield too many attacking players who dont prioritize tracking back

Barkley could.be a defensive liability unless Smith changes the system. McGinn as a defensive midfielder would.work

I agree and it does make us predictable when teams sit back. Just wait when we have pace and skill in a Abundance up top. traore and xxxx better be good!

Wait, what! Who said that! It wasnt me. I can say it, look. Jack sometimes makes poor decisions. My point is that if we have 2 decent wingers who can actually do something he will play the ball out quicker.

He doesnt move it quick because he has had wesley trez and elghazi around him for 12.months. I have no doubt that with Traore and Rashika? Ahead of.him you will see him look for the quick outballs

It was so annoying at the end why they didnt run forn the corners with the ball

To be fair in the midfield and attack only 1 player has changed. So to be expected
