Don't see any reason to think Townsend would have been given more of a chance than Redmond has

Townsend was an option for us but VK went for Koleosho

SalisburyClaret

It’s to give them freer movement in the groin area.

Shorts manufacturers can’t seem to cope with the differing shapes of men’s groins and made to measure would be embarrassing

Gordon and Hume have handbags where both players normally get a yellow, Gordon gets the yellow, but Hume already on a yellow gets away with it.

Gordon should always get a yellow every time he walk on the pitch - he is an obvious cheat
Hume was really lucky

SalisburyClaret

We can’t afford to get relegated while we wait for him to find his best form
The same goes for Tresor and Ramsey

SalisburyClaret

Our preferred forwards at present seem to be, in order-
Foster
Amdouni
Brunn Larsen
Redmond
Rodriguez
Obafemi

Things had better change quickly

Trafford wouldn't have stopped that with Muric in the goal with him.

You know it would be a simple save with two keepers

SalisburyClaret

Needs a season in the Championship to sharpen him up.

SalisburyClaret

The throw was poor - but watching the ball go past him into the net was what he did all last season. Trafford has the reflexes , attitude and the agility to stop the ball getting past him. He always tries. Muric looked like our best forward though

SalisburyClaret

Muric 6 - poor distribution cost us the game along with watching the ball fly into the net. Looks to be our best threat at corners though Vitinho 5 - fine as a back up right back O'Shea 8* - we’ll done Dara, best so far Delcroix 8 - assured Taylor 7 - quality PL experience showed Zaroury 5 - a shado...

Yes biggest PLUS for me the shape and the effort put in.

Yep we’ve looked to have a decent shape when defending - Dyche like at times

What game are you watching?

The one where he set up 3 Sours attacks through poor distribution - sorry if it doesn’t fit with your agenda

I don’t know what game you’re watching, he’s probably been our best player. Surprisingly impressed with how well he’s done.

Go ahead though, push your negative agenda.

Our best player? He’s been bypassed all game.

So refreshing to see our keeper command his area. Trafford is an immense shoylt stopper but Muric is better for our play

Shame his famed distribution has been so poor

SalisburyClaret

Vitinho, Ramsey and Zaroury - all very poor

O’Shea, Delcroix, Taylor and Cullen looking good

SalisburyClaret

Muric
Roberts Al Dakhil Delcroix Taylor
Redmond Cullen Ramsey Massengo Tresor
Obefemi

SalisburyClaret

Be sad to see Roberts go. He has a brilliant engine, has loads of experience and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself. Another of our international defenders who can’t get a game.

If he is replaced we need an experienced defender, not some flyweight that the software recommends as good value

SalisburyClaret

Apparently it’s an exciting initiative- doesn’t specify for whom, perhaps the company that has flogged them this drivel

SalisburyClaret

I don’t want either to leave, but if that’s the scenario, I’d prefer it to be reversed i.e. Zaroury out on a permanent and Benson on loan. Probably the unpopular opinion on here. Agreed. Benson was our ticket out of the Championship and, given a chance, when fit could turn it on in the PL- or be es...

It’s MOTD - it’s been decades since it’s been unbiased, fair or honest.

Semi-literate pundits don’t provide the level of insight or detailed analysis that a multi-million pound business needs, they just say what they’re paid to say.

SalisburyClaret

I don’t think Amdouni is at all suited to that role. Regardless of his cock-up, which half the board seem to think shouldn’t have been a pen, it needed someone to at least do the job of keeping the shape and pressing when needed which Ramsey does. I like Amdouni and I think he’ll click sooner rathe...

SalisburyClaret

Trafford - 8 excellent again
Vitinho - 5 a liability at right back
O'Shea - 5
Beyer -
Taylor - 5 up against a top winger
Odobert - 6
Berge - 3 Stupid
Brownhill - 7
Jbg - 6
Amdouni - 7
Foster - 9*

Delacroix - 4 needs to go to the Championship
Ramsey - 3 just awful
Tresor - 4 offered nothing

SalisburyClaret

The JBG who got subbed 10 minutes later? He was never making 90 minutes, especially with the added running he’d need to do in CM. Agree it exposes how light we are there, numbers wise, but I don’t know what sub he makes if not Ramsey? He didn’t have to use his bench. He could have moved Amdouni back.

SalisburyClaret

Who fills the Berge shaped hole in midfield after the red card? I don’t think it’s Amdouni or JBG, and looking at the bench I’m not sure who else. Unless you think we let Brownhill do it all. JBG has the experience and ability to play there but the issue is that Ramsey is too lightweight and inexpe...

This is the bit I’m finding hardest to swallow.

Such improvement in the team generally but we are still being undone by stupidity. How naive to bring Ramsey on to see out a result again. He’s cost us enough points already.

Totally correct

Wrong player, wrong time

Sadly we have to face up to the fact that there is a PL directive that we have to be relegated. There were so many wrong decisions today that it could only be corruption. Simple as that

There was no corruption in Kompany’s decision to bring Ramsey on

You want O’Shea running out to marshal Watkins?

Of course - looks what happens when he fails to mark him properly

Just needed to hold him up until we were back in shape

Not sure what Delcroix and O’Shea have done wrong today?

Just seems like easy targets for some?

O’Shea allowed his player to collect the ball and the space to turn and run for their first
Out of position for the second - but probably covering for Delcroix who was just watching

The offside calls were both correct.

Have a look at Foster’s foot - it’s massive - the pixels haven’t been kind to us

Shambolic defending from our weakest centre backs

Phew!

For those who like a challenge - Wordle, Dordle, Quordle and Octordle - makes for a longer breakfast too

SalisburyClaret

I know there’s more important issues but that half time entertainment was an embarrassment

Maybe they were trying to be ironic but that was more suited to a school fete

SalisburyClaret

Total waste of Odobert having to play on the right to accommodate Tresor - who was completely ineffective
Once they changed the game changed
Just not the standard needed at present

Trafford 8 needs to improve on crosses and bossing his area. Outstanding shot stopper and distribution is good but of course not on a par with Muric - few are, but better than many Vigouroux n/a O'Shea 5 clearly Championship standard so far Delcroix 4 looks weak Berge 8 a solid addition, PL quality ...

SalisburyClaret

Sounds like the laser block needs replacing - that will cost as much as a new player. Unless someone can suggest something else - Time to start streaming or a new player - sorry it’s not good news

Happy Yuletide everyone and a point packed New Year

SalisburyClaret

Vitinho right midfield with Roberts at right back

Trafford 8 kept us in it - again
Vitinho 7
OShea 8* easily his best game for us
Beyer 7

Bruun Larsen 6

Brownhill 8
Odobert 8
Foster 7
Amdouni 7

Tresor 5
Rodriguez 6

SalisburyClaret

He dives in recklessly quite often but gives everything- I prefer Roberts as a full back but Vitinho would be good in front of him

Yep another thread that has been taken over by those that want to have a go at Trafford.

We paid a lot of money for him - just get over it

SalisburyClaret

The club has admitted it has made mistakes but the statement misses 3 key things -
1. An apology to those who were affected
2. Re-assurance to fans that those concerned have been identified and their details passed to the police
3. A clear explanation of what the new steps are going to be
