"When we were scrapping to get back into games, JWP went missing. A few assists from corners but not one trademark free kick throughout the season to surpass Beckham. There are others who can stick a ball on to Souchek’s head. Good luck to JWP but just not figuring as part of new manager’s plans...

"Jaan K: you’ve missed my point, mate. If Coufal had been tearing it up, he wouldn’t have been subbed. Manager could then see the difference with AWB’s 20 minute cameo and, I’m sure, has now made up his mind. If Coufal does lose his place - seems likely - he can’t moan that the manger hadn...

"What impresses me about how we’re being managed is the chances Lupi is giving Moyes’ players to keep or surrender their shirt. Two games in and early assessments appear that Coufal and Antonio are looking the most vulnerable. Classy management in providing opportunities to prove themselves, whi...

"The worst look of social media and message boards are epitomised by Bruno’s post: ‘I’m hearing that……..’. Pure gossip mongering, click baiting, attention seeking drivel."

COYI: what’s half black got to do with it you racist twat?

"Manuel - regarding JWP: although I don’t agree with your view he’s shit - peripheral England player, Premiership experience, high profile free kick specialist….. my original post did not focus on his level but merely observed the change in attitude towards him on here in one season. We’ve a...

"The signing of JEP a year ago was considered really good business on this site. Ten matches in, with corners assists, many on here and the media in general were further praising the signing as one of the best in the window. One year on and, oddly, he’s turned into the latest whipping boy."

"JWP,"

"To rid ourselves of Soucek, Coufal or JWP may be warranted and justified if we needed them gone to balance books for signings or if they were wanting out. Other than that, they need to be retained to be part of a strong squad. Them gone would dilute the options for the manager. Whether you see them...

"So, we have a player on our books whose popularity amongst many fans has diminished, will be banned for a lengthy period, will take months to rediscover form - and will eventually leave us for a fraction of his current value. Fucked us up, good and proper."

Peckham: nice idea and a tonic against much slagging following a fraught season.

"With media storms all over the place with conjecture, your premature claim might end up accurate. But the question remains: have you gone too early?"

"Well said Old Geezer. Some on here are like immature, jealous, spiteful spurned lovers. Rice has simply gone on to a club which is matching both his own aspirations and level of quality. We had the possibility of striving towards that level during Moyes’ early reign but the club, and he, held us ...

Well said Sir Alf. Balanced view of Moyes. Thanks for the memories. On another note: mate texted me the other day - Liverpool fan - with the ‘be careful what you wish for’ line…..it’s fecking frightening where folk pick up these lines through the media.

Leave Jonathan Pearce alone! Great commentator and has had heartfelt words to say about the great Mooro.

"Fossil: good post, my friend. Fine criticisms but balanced with some positives going forward. One of my rare outings and a proper shitshow. After reading a myriad of posts bemoaning the ant-football this season, I’m angry at all these punters who keep telling these fans to be careful what they wi...

Rossal - apologies.

"Put the strongest team available to play against Fulham. That would mean playing Antonio who, yes, played on Thursday. Against BL, again, put the strongest team out. That would mean playing Antonio. To still be relying on a 34 year old work-horse tells you the extent of our squad problems."

"1964: agree about Paqueta. On a yellow and and knew another tonight would rule him out next week. He went in with that tackle as if he was looking to get booked. Happy to see him go if we cash in and replace with flair playmaker. Often puts defence under needless pressure with losing the ball or do...

"If we manage a win, it will go down as the best result by any team in any European match this season - based purely on current expectations. I can’t see it. A draw would be a magnificent result. Can’t see that either. A narrow defeat, leaving some hope for the return is the most my optimism can...

Look at the bench. We don’t have many stand out options to change the game.

Robbie Savage summed it up inadvertently in comms by saying Paqueta has been attending to his defensive duties well in the second half. Really? Is that where we want him? At home? What a waste.

"It's a long shot and I'm not sure my heart's in it but I'll try and make a quick case for the defence with Moyes' decision making on Saturday. 1. Without Alvarez, Moyes overlooked Phillips and left him on the bench and went for WP and Soucek to start. 2. When we went 3-1 up, before the subs were ma...
