Indeed. Last week he was absolutely fantastic. World class. Best player on the pitch. Last night he was fine. OK. Nothing special. Player rating? Nearly 8/10 on BBC. Ridiculous. As others have said as well, you can't turn up with you fancy it. When a player is playing for your team you watch...

I think that we need to work out what sort of football we want to play and then start worrying about managers. This is part of the problem we have had for a decade now. "That manager looks good, lets get them". And then when that doesn't work out we give a completely different style of manager...

I mean, the few games we had Martinez back were night and day to what we have seen for most of the season. We would almost certainly be competing for top 4 if we had Shaw and Martinez fit most of the season. If you consider that we are 10pts off top 4 with the season we have had, its not hard to...

Yep. If Chelsea had a remotely passable striker they would be much higher in the league. For all the praise of Palmer for his goalscoring, many of those have come in little gluts and haven't been consistently winning games for them per-se. Hes a cracking player but they need a proper player up...

I love the guy and he has been a massive part of everything good in the club for the past 4 years. That being said, I think he isn't compatible with the sort of football the very best teams play. Perhaps he is but I think we need a lot of the right players around him to enable that and he will...

I think the problem is that despite all the issues this season, we have been abject. Newcastle have had worse results but they have played far better than we have in general despite that. Chelsea have the same issue they have had for a few seasons. They cannot put the ball in the back of the...

Funny how a single game where he looked world class and magically he is amazing and its United that mis-managed him and he is wonderful 100% of the time. If he was anonymous yesterday, no one would be writing "what happened to Sancho, hes been so amazing since going back to Dortmund". Its just...

He was brilliant tonight but I don't know what game you were watching. He was given loads of time and space to face up to his man and have him backtracking. It was literally Sanchos perfect game. Playing for United he would have defenders up his bum as soon as he got the ball. He wasn't...

Exactly. I don't care if the rules state it should have been one. It would have been ridiculous to potentially decide the CL on a nothing decision like that. No one was disadvantaged or advantaged by it.

Hes a nice option to have because he can play some lovely passes that few players in our team can. Hes not capable of being a started any more though. Too lightweight and we have no control or bite with him in the middle. A great super sub.

This is something that makes zero sense to me. You don't automatically have power/privilege over all black people because you are white. Its such a bizarre concept that every white person has some intrinsic privilege that is greater than every black person. I would suggest that as a black person...

And what would be the judgement if she was white and the cab driver black... this would be an absolute shit show in comparison. The reason targeting racial characteristics is treated differently is because there are plenty of people who clearly do dislike or think negatively of people just...

Of course some would. Chelsea are a shit show with a billion pound squad that looks like its a £100m squad. Clearly structural issues at the club to spend that much and be where they are. This is their long term position as well. They have a new owner who is running this his way and this is what...

I'm at the point now where its simply impossible to back the manager. Yes we are much better when we have all our player fit but even then we aren't exactly firing on all cylinders. We're just a mess on the pitch. We've never really looked like anything else under EtH and at some point thats not...

I think most people feel the same way. A crap player that works hard is just hitting the limitations of their ability. A good player not putting in the effort is just taking the piss. When thats Steve down Asda you can understand. When its a professional footballer getting paid more in a day...
