Rory Peepa Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Keown tearing into Puel. Don't think he is a fan..... Murphy too. "I've no issue with giving young players a chance but you can't drop them into a team with 10 changes." Spot on. It's not fair on them or Martina, Houjberg, Long who have to try and steer them.

Edmonton Saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 as good as Stephens was on Wednesday, he has been as bad today. Demoralizing performance and line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 4-0. Complete and total surrender. Not fair on the young lads on the pitch. Plenty of time for it to get worse as well. Not great management from Puel to play such a weak team against such a threatening attack. Could do more harm than good in the long term morale wise.

5string Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 0-4. Not very good. Reed actually backed off Walcott as the ball came in. We need a goal, if just to get some self-respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenridge Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Too many of you lot are buying into this "rotation" bullsh*t. These are very fit young men who are paid more to play than most of us will see in a lifetime. Give everyone a rest now and then - fine, but this frequent, large scale change is an insult to people who pay good money to watch. The line up he picked today was ludicrous. The half a dozen or so posters on here who just blindly trot out that it's the only way had probably never even heard of such an extreme approach to this strategy a year ago. Along comes Claude and all of a sudden it's the only possible way we can get through a season. The only way. It's not the rotation that's the issue it's the degree he takes it to. Still he's got some youngsters some game time. I'm sure they'll be thanking him for giving their confidence such a boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintroyt Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Some people seem to think it's as simple as play them today and rest them on Wednesday instead. Other people with brain cells realise that the chances of a player pushing his body to breaking point is much more likely to happen after playing two games in three days, especially when one was as demanding as Wednesday night was. So if you play tennis a have a gruelling match for 4/5 hours you are not given a rest for 5/6 days you have to play te day after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 we have a paper thin squad, for me I want the best team possible for Wembley. Central defence is where we cant afford any more injuries.

washsaint Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 We are so light on quality in the squad. Reed and Clasie have been terrible. Gardos looks exactly what he is - a player who hasn't played in nearly 2 years. Isgrove should have been shipped out some time ago. All in all, a waste of time tonight. The Board have let Puel down - a blind Albanian could see that we needed a significant injection of quality in the window and yet here we are. the cupboard is bare. One ray of light has been Josh Sims who looks like a real talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
