He's been out of form this season though. He's been more use than Emre. i reckon there's a shout for playing le zog inside. he did well there under souness and it is his prefered position. Gotta be better than Emre, plus he wont need to cross as much as he did on the wing which has been his weak point this season... plus he's comfortable running at defenders and beating them with pace and tricks. we haven't really got another central midfielder like that. neither emre or parker get forward enough in my view.

He's been out of form this season though. he's hardly been in the side. whenever he comes on, he raises the tempo and looks lively

good news. i was worried he might sling his hook - roeder hasn't been using him much when he should really be starting on this season's form.

for what? failure to show up at major tournaments?

i wonder who you're referring to

they can have him if it means his wages will go towards a new centre back and/or a new striker. parker, emre, n'zogbia, dyer, sibierski and pattison can all cover centre mid

could have been penned by the fat chairman himself

wise words as always leazesmag

fat fred is one of the only morons in football stupid enough to appoint souness, let alone back him to the tune of £50m. it's easy to blame souness - he is afterall one of the worst managers ever to grace the top flight - but it's not his fault that he was given a job that he was blatantly never up to doing. he never should have been given the job. only a chairman as cretinous as shepherd would appoint a man with such a poor cv as manager of england's 5th biggest club.

i can see it now. he's got his pick of the world's best clubs and he chooses a micky mouse outfit like us. not going to happen. anyway. he's a defender so therefore won't fall under fat fred's trophy signing radar. we don't need defenders. we prefer to cain our entire budget on forwards and midfielders.

i can just imagine henry winter being taught by a fancy dan lecurer

things are depressing now but we could go the way of sheffield wednesday if we go down. that would be a lot worse

i'd be tempted to add roeder's name to that prediction tbh

le sib is sublime

Sherpherd out? Where do I sign?

ramage and taylor should both start at centre back ahead of bramble FACT

oh lord

a joke move from a joke club

i think everyone's willing him to do well but we're eight games in and he's registered one goal in the league. is my knee jerking? i hope so

it's been obvious for years that bramble isn't good enough. it was obvious when he played alongside o'brien. it was obvious when he played alongside boumsong. he was an expensive mistake. he's not going to get any better at this stage of his carreer. it's time to drop him and admit we fucked up. we can't afford to keep him in the side - his mistakes contribute to too many dropped points

His decisions today were absolutely puzzling. Duff looked not too bad on the left wing all day, as did Solano to a lesser extent on the left. After Duff went to the right he went into hiding. But we had to strikers up front who looked clueless all day but were allowed to stay on the pitch. I was actually not totally against of the appointment of Roeder and thought with some good work over the summer we might put a decent squad together and with the easy start could have a flying start. But everything started to become a total disaster and the poor performances now are just a reflection of the bad planning of the season during the summer. blatant leazesmag baiting

if we don't start chalking up some points at home we're going to be in serious shit. two wins and five defeats from eight games is relegation form tbh

i'd give him another one or two year contract.

Not true, Carr was responsible for the first one. as was bramble.
