Ed Rooney

Useless cunt of a manager

I’m sure he had such a forward plan considering all those injury problems

Nonsense

Exactly that and I’m not arguing, it’s just unbelievable

Can’t believe people turning their noses up at Dier. A 27 year old with over 200 games for a top premier league side and 40 plus international caps. WTF

It would make a change for us to have a defender that wins headers and wins tackles, rather than the soft shite we have had to put up with. I haven’t seen enough live performances from Phillips to comment on what he is, but if he is a tough defender who can win aerial battles, then I personally wouldn’t be overly disappointed.

Or course he has never been a fan

You could go on forever Clean sheets against Bournemouth, Shrewsbury, Sheff Utd and then the other games Arsenal, Wolves, Liverpool - 1 shot on target in each of those 3. Has he had to contend with a team down to 10 that has given up and capitulated. Ultimately they are both not the best keepers but I for one shit myself less when McCarthy is in goal than I do when Forster is in goal flapping around and falling like a tree.

👍 As we had luckily enough in the first few seasons Fraser played in

Oh here he is... Is Forster not a bad goalkeeper then. Does having a massively better defence mean less goals against When those superb centre backs were gone did Forster’s inadequacy appear almost immediately and the games reduced

What defence did Forster have in front of him ? Fonte and Toby for a season Fonte and Virgil for a couple Along with a good Ryan B

Bloody hope not

V Bad from the keeper

So that’s a yes to throwing Forster in the mix

How many did we score from them before we had a 6ft 6 player ?

Surely we are not going to keep him so what’s the point in playing him ?

Good ones don’t

Player to sign ? No player can be over hyped if they play for England then ?

Would expect passing stats % to be high considering the passing types. According to prem league stats tackles won 66%, duals lost is more than duals won. Successful 50/50’s is 15. Through balls is 1 Aerial battles lost is more than won Am I looking in the wrong place ?

Get rid - not done enough

An overhyped above average midfielder who is really good at free kicks and has a 6ft 6 CB to aim for from corners.

Pinch of salt stat then, nonsense stat when judging a players ability, but proves what he is though.

His goals and assists are as I thought then, a bit of a nonsense stat

How many from open play would be an interesting stat

GK....McCarthy/New RB....KWP/New LB...2 x New (A LB that can play RB also would be good) CB... Stephens out one in Midfield - Attack minded Central Mid (do not sign Walcott) Striker - Replacement for Ings and Challenger for Adams Get rid: Redmond Djenepo Forster Stephens Bertrand Ings (unless we can stop him) All those out on loan Oh and a new formation
