Is that Kelly Brook nowadays?

It depends whether you want a committed team or not?

Every time Maddison or Barnes are on the pitch, I feel physically sick. The contempt they have for the club is extraordinary. They play for themselves only.

They are not alone and some of the scumbags remain in the side, but this is a positive step forward at last.

Well, the proof will be seen in about 45 minutes I guess.

 

[camberwell fox]

Think we will be trying to keep it tight for an hour then bring on Maddison and Barnes.

Keep it ****ing tight. We are as loose as a wizards cuff.

They've been shite of late. However, of all our players, the odds of either of those two winning you a game are double or more than the rest of our lot put together right now.

Like it or not, they are two of our best players and leaving them out makes us less likely to score goals.

Smith: changes made as he wanted to make us hard to beat

Let’s see how that works out

He’s basically just said as much. Good options on the bench

You hang around in strange circles.

"We decided to change it. We need to be harder to beat. The last couple of games, we have needed lots of goals to win them so we needed to make a change.”


We are going to sit back on the edge of our own 18 yard box

****ing idiot

 

[glyn]

Only game we’ve won since Feb was Wolves without Maddison and Barnes

 

[Micky]

Soumare man of the match.

Soumare man of the match.

That’s the spirit. Come on City.

Actually, this is a very good point. I'd forgotten about that.

You wanted a front two. You've got your front two.

If you played them plus Barnes and Maddison we'd be ripped to shreds. Even a Man City side wouldn't go to Newcastle with four players that don't track back at all.

We may well get hammered anyway but at least he's trying to do something.

"Now select Soumare and Tielemans and keep Maddison, Barnes and Mendy on the bench"

We could play two up front and offer them support from some players behind who can actually pass a ball forward.

Just a thought.

People wanted two strikers and then moan when Maddison and Barnes aren’t playing…

Not that it makes a blind bit of difference… 4-0 incoming

Erm.... does it have to be one or the other? I must've missed those rules.

We haven't played two up top with Maddison and or Barnes behind all season..... we're 19th.

To be fair, I'd have sacked Smith before now. Quite possibly at half time at Fulham.

I'd rather have had Pearson's son in charge than Smith recently.
