Hopefully we get to see Doumbia on the pitch at some point, he's yet to kick a ball.

Or frozen grapes if you're CT.

Definitely going down as they have the evidence. It's well creepy reading the transcript of those texts. Shocking.

Unbelievable the amount of thick fucking idiots supporting him clearly misunderstanding what grooming actually is. His lass wants shot with shit aswell the money grabbing split arse cunt.

Judge him after the Chelsea game IMO, CT would have looked good against that West Brom team at the weekend. They were fucking terrible.

Another thing to add is how frustrating Sissoko is, he gets himself in some great positions with his marauding runs but his decision making and his finishing always lets him down. He doesn't perform on a consistent basis either. There's a top player there he's just lacking composure and continuity.

Thought Townsend played well, his sharpness will improve with games. Shelvey's distribution was top notch again.

Much needed 3 points, could have been 7-0.

It HAS to be two up front. People saying Doumbia isn't fit. Fucking who cares, what was the point in bringing him in? Stick him on from the start, if he's blowing his arse out then take him off. He'll be more of a goal threat than what they showed last night.

If you read back through the match thread a lot of people called it, we knew exactly how his negative tactics would pan out last night. Every game is like this now, he's no better than Pardew. He actually has a better team offensively than Pardew had aswell, he just doesn't know how to use them. Fair enough the players aren't exempt because they should be fighting for everything regardless of position but you have to play to your strengths and positive to maximise players' capabilities and when they are regularly asked to play in the wrong position in a negative formation all threat is nullified. By their own manager. He gives the opposition far too much respect from the start of matches. The times we've played on the front foot this season (Rarely), they look very dangerous with the pace in the team of Gini, Sissoko and Perez. Add Townsend and Doumbia to that now, Shelvey's creativity and we should be putting teams on the back foot every game. Instead the ginger fucking berk will sit 5 back in midfield, 1 up front and let the other team have the ball, dictate play, pick us off and win the game comfortably. These aren't defensive players and they weren't bought to play in that position so why the fuck does he continue to play like this? The reason we were fucked last season is because they continued to play one up front even though it doesn't work for us. If he wanted to play so negatively he should have brought in more defensive players, but brought attacking players in which makes it all the more baffling. McClaren needs to grow some balls and fucking quickly. So frustrating it's unbearable.

What he lacks in ability he makes up for in comedic entertainment.

Back to save the day.

Even Scott Sellars would struggle in that system.

He fucked up his clearance, kone ran through and he dragged him down. Giving a penalty away and getting sent off.

That's what happens your a negative wanker who is tactically inept.

Every game we play a team seems to break their poor form. Like the whipping boys of the league. Season over.

Sissoko only plays when the TV cameras are there.

Fucking hell you've got to be scoring them.

So he put Aaron's on in defence when he's one of best attackers. He put Mitrovic on and then put Perez on the wing! We need two up top for fuck sake. I give up with this ginger cunt.

Finally!

This is unbelievable this, I can't actually believe he's kept the same formation and wasted a sub.

The whole point of buying Townsend and Shelvey was to feed to the TWO forwards, especially Mitrovic. Fuck me!

There's too many in midfield and no outlet up top. Go 4-4-2, it gives more shape and we will be a more solid unit. It opens up space for Sissoko and Townsend down the wings. Gini, Sissoko, Shelvey and Townsend aren't suited to this system. They are fucking void in fact! How thick is McClaren?
