+ Todd and Hernandez Krul was dropped 2 games ago. GK, CB, CM, ST - spine of the team the same, with RB, LW and RW. Add to that it being Gibson's 3rd year and Dimi's 3rd year. With Byram and Dowell and this is a team/squad who at this level, should take some beating If you can't see that, then you are in cuckoo land.

Lets be right, Any half intelligent footballer does this, Changes body shape, slows down/speeds up to make the opposition think they are/aren't going to challenge for the ball or to force them a certain way It was Teemu's lucky day.

Are you suggesting they weren't?

I want Craig Bellamy

If you say pineapple slowly it sounds like gullible

And both goals came with a large slice of luck.

You don't see why sacking a manager with no plan, is so difficult to understand?

Looking forward to seeing it nominated for the Puskas award then.

Quick Q Nutty, Where would we have gone had Smith not been sacked by Villa? Webber seems to make out Smith was his plan all along but none of us are buying because we know it can't possibly be true.

Tactics or not, Max as regressed. He was never in the squad for his defensive qualities though they were never really a problem, he was in for his attacking prowess. He was superb at getting to the line and into the box, he assisted goals and won penalities He still gets in them same positions but lacks that drive/will to want to get into the box, some say he's been told not to, I don't believe that, as a footballer you instinctively play what's infront of you. Back in this division he's getting balls pumped at him and isn't playing well in offence. Whatever the question it, Sam Byram isn't the answer.

Recruitment is a funny thing, Im sure some questioned spending money on a young kid from York for the youth team, or a young lad from Coventry who wasn't good enough to play for us so we sent him to Aberdeen for a year, or couple of million on a unknown 5ft nothing Argentinian we'd not heard of, or even a washed up Finn that struggled in Scotland on a free. Yet we were all over the moon when we brought in a Chelsea lad who we had watched dominate England in the Euro's that summer, a big strong DM from Sevilla who was our missing piece and one of the most exciting players in Greek football. At the time of the recruitment, it's been hard to knock it, apart from not finding the DM we clearly need In hindsight some hasn't worked and some IMO we should have tried harder with (Tzolis/Rashica) none of us would have believed that Hernandez/Sinani were regularly playing for us this season. What stands out for me and makes me believe we'd be fine (if we changed managers) is that we played so poorly for so long and picked up so many points, only good teams/players are able to do that. No matter what your stance on Smith is everyone knows these players have another 2 if not 3 gears and once they clicked in, this is a division where nothing but Top2 should be acceptable.

Lol, it's the core of the same team that's won it twice and have an additional two years Prem Experience. One thing is sure for me, If Farke was here we'd be performing and winning

You mean the players that contributed to two winning Championships, in what was undoubtedly better leagues than this year?

Got this one and the previous one, both unopened.

Weren't he bought at the same time as Leaon Bailey and a certain Phillippe Countinho?

Can't be right, Not even Michelle Keegan could tempt me to join Villa instead of Arsenal, never mind a goalkeeper he must have had minimal contact with.

2-0 Blades Early goal, late goal. City to have more possession, and to win on Xg. Usual suspects to tell us we dominated and deserved to win.

I never suggested he had though. He's achieved more in football than Harry did, fact. And he's a fledgeling manager who as already managed a club bigger than Harry ever did. To suggest this is because he's Harry's nephew again, is absolute tripe

He hasn't got any managers job on the back of being Harry Redknapp's newphew, what nonesense.

Come on, Frank has surpassed what Harry achieved in this game

This. Going as early as he did in the window, we didn't maximise our £ and he didn't find a better option.

Deluded. He's certainly not worth that now.

Literally right next to the ground, There are lots of streets, Think the pay and display was a couple of quid.

Key word.

For me the issue is; He doesn't know which keeper to pick. Our defence is awful Midfield non-existent Our (on form) best striker, isn't playing striker.
