If Tony has sense he will pay off some contracts tomorrow - Okore, Hutton, Gestede & Gardner aren't even Championship standard. That is more than Richards deserves though, i'd just club him round the head and dash him in a ditch.
He's selfish, lacks football intelligence and has a questionable attitude. But he has a lot of talent, no one else in this league has his control and dribbling skill.
Our midfield is non existent.
If we want any chance of going up we can't have Hutton, Cissokho, Gestede or Westwood starting games. Bacuna was a bit better than usual.
Westwood, Hutton, Cissokho, Gestede & Bacuna are still shite then, who would have thought it?
Ayew really shouldn't be given any defensive duties, get him up top instead of Gestede and bring on Grealish or Amavi.
I won't be at all sad to see him go. I've always found it slightly baffling when people say he had a good season. Sure, he can tackle well but it's worth nothing if you give the ball away constantly. I didn't like his attitude and despised his shooting.
This guys ambition is so exciting. We might look back and think he was full of crap but until he gives me reason to doubt him i'm going to believe and hope his words will come true.
In his short managerial career so far he has taken a team to the playoffs in league 1, achieved promotion from the Championship to the Premier League and then won the Champions League. We have been embarrasing for years now and have no right to argue with those achievements so lets get behind him and hope for a swift return to the top flight.
