Rather Silva than Howe

Wasn't it Lowe turned down drogba because he already had Delgado lined up

NEGATIVE...... that will be the tactics Puel uses against top teams and against a poor beer sheeva at home that cost us our Europa, something that the club really wanted and really went for it under koeman . So I'm sorry but the money I pay to watch and travel too I expect to at least give teams a go, we've done it a couple of times this season, arsenal away (cup) Liverpool h/a (cup) and utd in final and looked great but with Puel most of the time it is negative, wer'e up there because the mid section of epl is so tight and everyone is beating everyone and the standard grnerally is so poor, we could equally finish 14th as 8th. I just feel Puel and Black are not the right fit for the club

Whilst still a chance of a place in cl semi final

He would of gone all out due to forthcoming application for Barca job, no way he would have ambled through season to jeopardize that. I preferred koeman, but laugh at the double standards of 'Barclay must sign new deal or be sold with 1yr remaining exactly the same what his situation was.

New manager, new cb, new acm, new dm, new gk, new first team coach, keep existing top players then onwards and upwards

Possibly better at holding up especially when he wasn't trying fancy flicks,, but Lambert was superb at linking play and creating chances and space for others

Perfect foil for not alerting Real it could be vvd there really after

Barca are crying out for cb, outside chance of koeman going there as well

Have to agree with above posters long should start if gabbi not fit , they are week when pressurised at the back that could be our best opportunity

No Puels doing a great job

And to help us through Europa due to his experience.... ahh failed

But Puel won't get transfer window, Reed will , as he's in charge of everything.......

Sorry my mistake, guess that makes it ok then

So depending on results tonight and tomorrow we could go 17th, if so do people think we should still get rid

In, Scharr 10m, Zyech 15m, krychowiak 18m, Begovic 8m, Sigurrdson 15m, Bony loan, Out, Forster 10m, Tadic 15m, Jayrod 8m, Martina 12p, Long 8m, Gardos free, Clasie 8m

Haha is this April fools, Luiz koscielny, Umtiti , Hummels, get a grip. Yes his concentration and positioning could and should be improved on but bar Pique/Ramos possibly Boatang Toby there arnt any better as an overall package

Watching different game to me then, we had couple of chances 1st half and total crap last 30mins. We are s shambles at the back, yes Stephen's may be improving individually the same as yoshi but together they just don't work, Were supposedly paying s huge amount for Caceres , yesterday would've been perfect game for him to start, you've otherwise got to question why did we get him. Along with unorganised back 4 the midfield is completely out of balance and as mentioned by another poster it's alarming to see how many top players are shocking under Puel.

Twist

Caceres must be really ****

Such a sh#t keeper

On another football forum there's a moderator whose followed forster career through I guess varying degrees of work and has openly said it's all down to poor footwork, when he was at Newcastle he was only picked up because his projected size. When celtic bought him it was because they were turned down by 3 other keepers and Fraser was last choice. His footwork equates to all that we're seeing now, poor positioning, poor down low, poor at coming out, it's a shame but it all tallys up. The good saves he makes are generally at him when he spreads his huge frame, today I feel he could've done better for 1st, his save from the downward header was excellent but watching it again it was like apart from his big hand it was like a big lump of lard falling on the floor, I do hope we sell him to everton and rather than Hart go for Begovic

Think we really need a dembele type player, strong as u like in midfield but great balance and great passer, just wish we had a 6ft something to play alongside romeu

And jansson at leeds

Agree I feel tadic is better out wide and Boufal needs to step up as a acm as he has all the attributes to be top class
