I can understand why some people are losing their nerve already, but I can't understand a 20% swing in just one game. Fickle fickle fickle.

Yep, and Wigan stuck with Martinez and stayed up. What's your point?

I ****ing hate football fans sometimes

He injured my knee, I missed 3 weeks of football. He did so by scoring that goal against Bristol Rovers.

He would be wandering around in the chapel trying to find somewhere to buy a JPT final programme.

Or is it just that we've had A LOT less of the ball generally away to City, Arsenal and Everton?

I hope to god you are a massive troll and that people are not really this idiotic.

What, like he was against Utd when Adkins got crucified for bringing him on?

I like the location, certainly ****ing miles better than if it had ended up at Stoneham.

So you can now criticise a national team selection, but don't do it as you won't make many friends. What a great feature.

Are you Mike Bassett in disguise? The good old English 4-4-2 obsession. 1 "striker" is not always defensive, certainly not the way we're playing it anyway.

Why were they freak injuries?

I don't know. This isn't some youngster we've plucked from another clubs youth team, or from the lower divisions. He scored 15 last season and 14 the season before that and is an England U21 international. I don't think there was any element of 'hope that he will be ready in 6 months', I think we signed him believing he is ready now to step in when needed. Whether that was right or wrong only time will tell as we haven't seen enough of him in his best position to properly judge yet in my opinion.

Until Lambert gets injured perhaps?

What it's sometimes easy to forget when the team are struggling, is that football is not mainly about tactics or formations, it's mainly about players. Tactics can help a poor side overcome a good side, but 9 times out of 10 it's the quality of the players that makes the difference. Everton, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal all had vastly better players than us. Now sometimes you get lucky, or catch them on a bad day, other times you might surprise them with a bit of tactical wizardry. But those teams beat us not because of Adkins, but because their teams are significantly better than ours man for man, end of story.

Not neccesarily, but it's not much of a choice is it? You are making out that there was this amazingly obvious solution that Adkins could have implemented, that he made some blinding mistake, and that your solution would have 'contained' Fellaini. It wouldn't have made a difference. Adkins hands were tied when we lost Morgan.

Bloody hell! Quick somebody phone Sir Alex and let him know that United would not have lost to Everton if he'd bought Guly in the summer and played him at Centre Mid to counteract Fellaini. Yep, you're right. Playing Guly there would have COMPLETELY changed the game yesterday. Well done.

I did read the post. You didn't say anything about tactics costing us the game. You said in nearly every game he made tactical mistakes and then that he made no tactical mistakes against Villa. Losing = tactical mistakes. Winning = no tactical mistakes. Like it or not that is what you said and it shows you up to be an idiot.

This is the funniest part of your post as it shows you up as totally clueless.

After what? A couple of prem games stuck out on the left and one match up front against one of the better sides in the division. I'm beggining to get the impression you don't know what you're talking about.

You are talking rubbish. Total rubbish.

Rodgers comes across a bit odd doesn't he?

How on earth has he only reached the premier league now!

I'm still scarred by McGoldrick and Wotton both missing one v Watford.

At least Hansen makes an effort to analyse or point out what players could've done better, Lawro sounds like he's never even played the game, very odd man.
