Billy Whitehurst

Not sure why we haven't tried for Pelle at Southampton as he is supposedly available now that Southampton have Austin, Long, Mane and Rodriguez coming back. I think he is class.

He also mentioned Riviere as a potential solution to our scoring problems. I'm not too sure which comment is more outrageous.

Mitrovic has been fucking shite today. He hasn't had the best of service but his movement off the ball has been non existent which makes it all the moe difficult for the midfield. If we would have had Ighalo today and they'd have had Mitrovic then we wouldn't have lost.

Aye, exactly. He's a brilliant finisher. We don't need him though, our strikers are lethal.

Fucking awful this mind. If we don't buy a finisher and a left back then we'll go down.

Or maybe Riviere will prove to be just as shit as he was last season. Let's hope he doesn't get enough game time for us to find out.

Would much rather have Anita in the team than Colback. I think that Tiote is a lot better than both of them though.

That's it Steve, get your game changer on.

Aye, we haven't been linked with Pierre-Michel Lasogga in this window, surely only a matter of time.

I thought Tiote had a good game today, looked like the Tiote of old. Actually, everyone played well today but these are not the results that will get us relegated, we've played well against the top teams this season. It's the performances against West Brom, West Ham, Everton, Villa, Sunderland, Swansea, Leicester and Bournemouth that will see us relegated.

I think you're being generous there. He has got lot's of potential but his movement off the ball is crap, as is his finishing. He did hold the ball up very well though but he is not the striker to keep us up.

So so sad. I met him once and he was so down to earth, a really lovely bloke. He got us, and we got him. RIP to a really wonderful human being.

Two of the worst teams in the league these two. Not the greatest advert for the premier league.

Easy now, he's not that bad, Billy Whitehurst was complete and utter shhhiiiiiitte. I remember watching him when I was 8 years old and knew I fuck all about the finer points of football. I did, however, know enough even at that age to recognise that he was stealing a career as a professional footballer. I think it is clear that Mitrovic is far from the finished product (it's easy to score in the Belgian league when you play for the best team and play against dross week in week out) and probably not the man to provide the goals to drag us out of this. I'm still baffled as to why nobody has signed Charlie Austin.

Charlie Austin anyone? Same price as Mitrovic. The only issue is that he is English and is a proven Premier League goalscorer so Graham Carr won't get any kudos for uncovering a gem like he did with Thauvin and Cabella.

I don't think we can play Colback and Anita together against teams like Villa. I can understand them both playing against Liverpool and Spurs when we aren't going to have much possession but against shite teams like Villa we need our centre midfield to be dictating the play. Colback was a passenger today.

He's not a premier league defender. Left back needs to be our priority in January.

I read that it was Carragher's brother that had allegedly pegged Terry's mother. Maybe they both had a pop, the mucky buggers.

On the money as ever CT. Our left winger was shite.

Aye, it'll be 4-4-2 and exactly the same tactics that have served us so well in the last 3 games. If they only beat us 3-0 then Elliot will presumably be have been our man of the match.

Does anyone care if we go down? I can't be bothered with this shower of Shite as things currently stand. I couldn't give a toss about a single player (with the possible exception of Perez), we've had a succession of shit managers, and the owner is a cock. I can't think of anything I like about the club. The last thing I liked was Jonas' end to last season and we fucked him off because of his honesty. I'd rather support us in League 2 with players who put in a modicum of effort than the shysters who currently play for us. I don't like McClaren but replacing him won't make a difference as we are a fucking shambles of a club.

I agree. We won't spend good money on a manager so it's a case of better the mong we know. Nobody could save this fucking shambles.

You have to laugh. Rotten to the core this club, can't think of a team more deserving of relegation.

It's not all his fault, the players are cowards. He's certainly not blameless though.

It looks like we're playing 4-4-2 with 2 (alleged) defensive midfielders. That formation and those tactics certainly worked well against Bournemouth and Leicester so good to see the manager sticking with such a winning formula.
