Not a knee jerk reaction but we have too many players with severe limitations, can't think back to when we were so fragile. Ambrose looks nervous as soon as he reaches the half way line LG is to easily neutralised and our full backs lack any imagination or desire to be a threat at set pieces. We must be one of the easiest teams for coaches to read and neutralise. The big no.9 came on last night and bullied his way into the cane and scored two goals. RD has had his chance hopefully the backing of the Chairman will mean he's on his way out.

He hasn't been backed by the chairman though. It's the team that is weak if anybody, not RD. We're not far off being a right good side in my opinion. It's just the basics like a strong CF, like you highlight theirs, simple passing and defending set pieces. In a nut shell individual quality and a bit experience. The already young squad we have has shown improvement, hopefully every window feom now we juat bring in one or two who will walk in the side and a couple of pedigree youngster providing we don't bring our own through.

Jim Tim what are you talking about? We are miles from being a good side. It's not RD that's weak? Explain that one. He has achieved nothing and I don't think we will qualify out of this group. If that is the case the man needs to go.

Everyone makes mistakes . They signed Van Persie and gave him a king's ransom in wages . Yet it was the big Brazilian that bullied us and took two points of us .
I wasn't surprised that a big Brazilian scored against us twice but I thought it would be by silky skills rather than bully and dominating . I have never seen us out passed and out played for part of the match and us turning it round and actually out playing and out passing them .

What is it you'd like me to explain johnny? You say we've achieved nothing. That's not true though is it? Fair enough you've came out with your opinion that we won't get out the group. That's just a guess though isn't it really. As things stand we're en route to qualify. We picked up a point away to Ajax (imo unlucky not to win), and we got a point against a side with RVP, Diego, Nani, Meireles and Markovic ( again unlucky not to win). Yet to play Molde twice. We're in a healthy position considering. You say i'm wrong saying we're not being far off a good side. What would make us a good side? Qualifying for CL? Because as heartbreaking as it was. We weren't far off that in truth.
You just strike me as one of the bhoys who doesn't see the wood foe the trees.

Jim Jim your post makes a lot of sense . I think we are improving and that pleases me , I think some folk thinks we are getting worse and in some sort of perverted way that seems to please them too.
