You've seriously got to stop looking at silly comparisons. The current side is full of continental players many of whom don't have a blood and guts attitude, but that doesn't make them crap. And as much as I like McGinn he's been seriously found wanting in games himself and can be very one dimensional. I'm sure if we had a team made up of McGinns, McTominays or Gray's we'd still be lacking elsewhere. Lets be honest, McGinn is far from the main player in the side. He may well be captain but imo he's behind Martinez, Dougie, Watkins Konsa and Torres for quality. McGinn is a limited player, a good player on his day, but still limited. The idea he does everything on his own is nonsense.

Ferdinand lol.....wasn't he cheating on his missus when she was terminally ill?! He's a cry baby bitch and I wouldn't give him the steam off my piss.

We do water the shit out of the pitch prior to games kicking off. Iirc Kamara's right leg went off at an outward trajectory so maybe he slipped, although I haven't watched it back. It's a good place to start a conspiracy theory though. #Blamethegroundsmen

Really good again today imo. The best of our midfield.

He's a wonderful player but he either holds onto the ball to long at times or just switches off.

Should just release him back to Galatasaray tbh. I actually feel sorry for him now. Absolutely no point in these silly end of the game cameos when nobody could find form under those conditions.

Ridiculously subbed at a time when Utd were all over the shop and he was having his way. Poor from Emery imo

Much better today.

I'd have started him and taken him off if we needed too. I'm another that doesn't believe in having half fit players on the bench because you can bring them on and they still break down, and then your bolloxed.

Great manager and not doubting him, but I think he got it wrong this week especially not getting subs on earlier Weds when the game had gone. We should also be starting with the intensity we had in the middle of the game. If we'd started quicker we wouldn't have lost that game today.

Much better but in the end positional play and lack of bravery is imo why he needs replacing.

Fulham good at home and Luton are very physical and could easily turn us over now they've started to get a grip of the PL pace. I know people think we should be winning these game but we aren't earning the right to atm.

TBF I think this is on Unai. Flogged many of the players against Chelsea on Weds instead of making subs early when the game had gone and started without enough urgency today. Player mistakes haven't helped but we haven't used the squad enough outside the forced changes. Might not be popular but thats how I see it.

Game over

Dougie baby...

Get Torres on ffs. I'd also get Kamara off, drop McGinn in with DL and bring Diaby on for more support for Leon and Watkins

Better..... Up the pace

They were there for the taking at OT and we still managed to balls it up. We need to raise the intensity in games. Playing slow is for when your in the lead. Our biggest problem recently other than a crap defence is starting games too slow. If you look at every game we've excelled it's been through starting quickly. It's a problem and needs rectifying.

We started far too slow and now find ourselves chasing the game. We've been decent but just over playing in the final third and taking too long to get shots off. We really need to be more intensive from the get go instead of giving ourselves too much work to do. I don't understand why Torres is on the bench if he isn't fit enough to start, you could easily take him off later on if necessary.

I agree.... The thing is as kids they get lauded over before even getting to the pro's. For what it's worth he's supposed to be a really good lad but like many boxers who've been in the gym since they were kids, sooner or later many end up playing up as adults. I had similar experiences myself as a 17/18 year old after 9 years in a gym and 6 boxing in the amateurs. You go a bit crazy when you hit a certain age unless you've got the right people keeping you on the straight and narrow. One of my good friends as a kid, and a fantastic amateur ended up on heroin, It ruined his life. And yeah, some kids are brilliant amateurs but when it comes to the pro's they never quite have the pop in their punches to hang with the big boys. Having a good level of power and ring craft as a bloke is such a determining factor when stepping into the pro's.

Frankie Gavin was a coke head and just not dedicated the way he should have been. He was doing it right they way through his career. Facts

Turned Carlson inside out with nonsense about Russian history and borders without really getting to the crux of the murders of innocent civilians and what the majority of Ukrainian people actually want which is separation from Russia claiming that the conflict is more a civil war. What I also found despicable was early on in the interview when he pointed out that Poland were in someway responsible for their own destruction and the extermination of the Jews during WW2 by not giving Hitler what he wanted when the facts are Hitler was a evil c*** and Russia wanted to take a portion of the Poland itself just like they wanted Finland. I'm sure people around the world will see this as an extraordinary interview but the facts remain that without Putins orders and Russian aggression in since 2014 and also since 2022 over a million humans would still be alive. Both Ukrainian and Russian. But yeah, good diversion from the real issues. I'm actually amazed that most the comments on all channels reporting this see him as some sort of great leader when he's no different to any of the warmongering clowns that have ruled throughout history around the globe and used it's citizens as cannon fodder. No doubt Western agencies and news channels cherry pick what they report but Putin is a smug little rat with no remorse. It's always the wrong individuals doing the interviewing. Carlson is a dumbass and Putin knew it from the get go which is why he tied him in knots during the first hour spouting nonsense that has no real relevance to what is still happening in Ukraine.

Putin: Occupied Ukrainian regions to be integrated with Russia by 2030 (msn.com) I think it's more a case of prepping Russians for a few more years of war. Also mentioning for Russian banks not to worry about economic sanctions etc. He's an utter tosspot tbh and obviously has become so ego driven he doesn't give a monkeys what he does to his own people.

So Vlad has now proclaimed that all occupied Ukrainian territory needs to be integrated into Russia and fully developed by 2030 indicating they have no intention of ending things anytime soon. Good luck with that Russia. Ukraine will never let them completely settle in these areas. He's a complete clown if he thinks Ukrainians are just going to give in anytime soon and stop attacking Russians on their own territory.
