Every time I log in here it’s negative whining non stop even when the teams playing well. Far too many simply willing to die on their early anti VK stance.

You are not wrong.
Some of us just want the team, manager "project" to be a success.
Sometimes it feels like a minority

Imagine being a Burnley fan who constantly slags off our manager. Hard to fathom isn't it?

There's been far to much of it this season.

Don’t actually think Cullen was fit at the start of the season but even the leagues best centre mids would have struggled with our tactics at the beginning of the season. The shift in tactics off the ball felt like it came at home to palace and without the horror mistake from Beyer we would of won ...

Great result but why is he persisting with Fofana again up front. He hasn’t played well in around 3-4 games now. Foster scored last game, give him his position back up front!

i can only think it's contractural.

How did we not play Muric and Cullen !!!! Both been superb since they came back

Cullen took a while to adjust to the PL. He did start the season in the 1st 11.

The problem is that Forest still have to play Sheffield United. If they win that, then we would have to beat either Newcastle or Spurs. Sheffield Utd will score against Forest, they could even hold on for a point. Luton are shagged out. We beat Newcastle and it's possible we can take it to the last...

Last 8 matches just the 1 loss hmmmmm previous 27 with 20 losses speaks for itself

There has been all-round improvement, and an almost settled back 4.
Not decrying Muric's contribution, but the O'Shea/Esteve partnership is the best we've had.

Maybe not the same naivety we show each week at this stage of the season! Berge is certainly not an inexperienced player.

i look at it as a collective thing, it's a team.
Easy to point at individuals, actually I remember Ben Mee doing that sort of thing a few times.

Thought we played well today despite our usual naivety which seems to always result in us conceding.

Naivety is totally understandable given the very little PL experience in the squad.
These lads are learning on the job and it's starting to show.

Why change a winning side I thought Odobert & Foster with Assignon attacking down the middle would be too much for Maguire/Casemiro but no in comes Fofana. Utd where there for the taking and VK let them off the hook maybe the sea air at Brighton is clouding his thoughts.

I disagree with you x6

boatshed bill

TBH I detest it, it ruins the match-day experience.
But if its decisions are to be seen as correct then that's where it should end; the later questioning of it makes it even worse, pointless.

I think he will. Don't think people put as much store into a few bad results when the overall trend is a positive one. First season in Europe and injuries to key players, are quite important mitigating, contributory factors, to a club with a relatively small squad.

Where's Potter at present?

boatshed bill

I'm not sure Di Zerbi is likely to get a move to a better club than Brighton for starters.

Last week there was a big net behind the goal, so no risk at all of being hit.

Wouldn't they be better used near the corners?

Don't worry, I'm only parodying

boatshed bill

it's wrong for so many reasons.

boatshed bill

FWIW, I think his rant is because it's one of those events in a game where a Chelsea player bundling over a Burnley player is never going to be a penalty and (second) yellow card, and we all know that to be true. So rather than the ref wilfully 'cheating', he's displaying (massive) bias, and it's d...

You never mentioned the upturn in form. You said "it's become pretty obvious had Muric played all season we wouldn't even be close to the relegation zone we'd already be safe". Two very different statements.

And there's no way of knowing if that is fact, obviously.

boatshed bill

15 different goalscorers. Not bad.

boatshed bill

A great opportunity for some neanderthal pillocks to cause trouble.

boatshed bill

Muric does help that partnership though - for a start they don't have to receive the ball 5-10 yards from the goalkeeper for most of the game and know that anything in the 6 yard box Muric is going to come for. Just look at the positions that our defenders take up in possession since the swap - it'...

boatshed bill

I'm not sure the wide players should be thought of as wingers (chance providers), more as finishers.
Assignon and Taylor are more likely to provide crosses.

It's not obvious at all. Saying itvso many times doesn't make it true.

Muric's inclusion has certainly coincided with an improvement in results but let's not underestimate the improvement throughout the team, particularly the development of the defensive partnership of O'Shea and Esteve.

boatshed bill

It's true that Sheff Utd could have been 2 or 3-0 up at half time, but that would have meant them scoring all of their chances and us missing all of ours. That's not how football works. The McBurnie chance that Muric saved with his feet really should have been scored, but I don't think any of their...

Yes, they may well have been robbed. But all they should expect is an apology, just like we got.

I'm sure there'll be plenty on here delighted if VK was to leave.
No more head-scratching selections, baffling substitutions, clueless tactics.

Have you ever played football? Has somebody ever kicked your studs at it hurt you?

I'd put JBL on the right and play Luca on the left. Hard to find an argument for other wingers ahead of them when fit and in form.

A definite option.

I think he'd be replacing Vitinho on the wing when he's back fit. Exciting indeed.

If he gets to match fit i'd say he'd replace JBL.

I would absolutely love it if we could sign Assignon,. regardless of releation.

A couple of days ago there was some Blades fan on TS saying that they were better than us last season and still are.
That's got to define delusion

Jesus. It just offers us something different. We need different profiles of player for different moments in a season and with Jay Rod probably on the way out there is room for a Mcburnie type in the squad. Why do people have to have such extreme reactions "people" know that he is nothing like what ...

Similar in a way to Vydra. Scored loads from midfield for Derby.

I like Wilson. I'll never understand why Kompany wasted weeks playing as a number 10, when without Kolo he's our main threat out wide.

At a guess, because we could cover the left wing with JBL and WO has the ability to find shooting opportunities around the box.
Whether it's worked or not??

I would say our defence isn’t world class, but we still have some elite players in that back line. Stones, Walker (world class in my opinion). Then Maguire, Chillwell, Shaw, Guehi, Lewis, Tomori are all top players. Depending on how we set up we could blow opposition teams away this summer. Maybe s...
