Think alot of his game time has been sub appearances so 1 in 4 wouldnt be a fair or accurate reflection

Who mentioned exceptional quality? VVD, Bertrand, Cedric, Romeu, Davis, Boufal, Austin are all players of top half prem quality imo. Look at West Brom who are performing better than us, who also havent spent the money we have. Just shows what Pulis is getting out of his players compared to Puel

What i do believe is that we are under performing in the league for the amount of quality players we have at our disposal. Doesnt take a genius to realise that

http://sqwk.at/FootballIQPL Makes for grim reading. 18th in league based on performance vs squad value

That will rule out Schar coming here in this window. No chance Hoffenheim will let both of them leave in the space of two transfer windows.

Think hes been very average this season. Would rather have a player who wants to be here than one who is going to sulk if he is made to sit tight until the summer. Lets get a good replacement in. Fabian Schar would be my choice

We are still in the draw regardless

Probably draw Sunderland or Palace like usual. Been a while since we drew a non league or league two side. Sutton United if they get through or Accrington Stanley would do....at home

Say what you want about Reed and our transfer policy, at least we dont have David Gold and David Sullivan overseeing our transfer business

Seen that Stoke are willing to let Bojan go. Think he would be the type of player we would go for (great young prospect but has had a tough time recently). Probably knows Romeu from his Barca days

Hard to know. When Cortese was here we were in our early premier league years where teams didnt know too much about our players or have much interest. He was gone when we had repeated high finishes and our players were thrust into the limelight

Pardew still posts on here after all this time

Q - SWF users obviously know more than you and could do your job better than you, do you really care? A - No

Spot on. Some people need to get a bit of perspective. Hes 6 months into a new job and trying the team playing his style of football. Not to mention having to rotate constantly to deal with the large number of games already. He should at leastbe given two more transfer windows to try and build a better squad. The EL was disappointing but we are 8th and in a semi final.

The through ball which led to the penalty comes all the way into the box and Forster is rooted to his line. Needs to help the team out there. Couldnt do anything about the goals though

Spot on sir

Just hope the players are up for this one because Bournemouth will be. Last seasons defeat there was arguably the worst performance of the season. No heart or fight.

If he can score from 2 yards then hes an automatic improvement

Good post. Agree totally

Oh dear, some people need to take a few deep breaths and count to 100 lol

Yoshida has been excellent anytime hes been called upon this season. Cant be easy not getting a run of games but hes been so consistent. Once a scapegoat, now an integral part of our squad.

Rotating the squad is required with the amount of games we face this season so cant blame Puel. The issue is some of our squad players are not premier league or europa league quality. Martina and Jay Rod prime examples. Would rather Stephens and Olamola were given a chance to gain experience. Hopefully between January and next summer Puel will be allowed to build a stronger squad.

Very true and we've played Chelsea, City, Liverpool, United, Arsenal and last seasons champions already in the first 12 games. Think our next 10-12 games look favourable and a chance to pick up plenty of points.

That is a really poor Inter team and they still beat us. It wasn't a good performance from us but they are that bad we still created a number of clear chances. So wasteful but movement in the final third was too slow aswell. Sad to say but JRod is nowhere near good enough anymore. Martina is not europa league standard either.

Boufal in the squad it looks like. The clubs snapchat has a video of him walking into the ground with his bag
