Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Folk on here have talked about "Promising signs" since pre-season but that means FUCK ALL when you're into October without a win, rock bottom of the table and have just been shagged all over by the Arab gravy train. Or should that be curry train? Until these "Promising signs" are turned into full, convincing 90 minute performances then the club is sinking without a fucking trace. I've heard of a Chinese curry and an Indian curry. Never had an Arab curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bit of a bizarre comment to be honest not saying it would have gone much better for anyone else at this point but McClaren has shown us fuck all so far.

Howmanheyman 26982 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've been a bit disappointed with McLaren's lack of an attempt to do a Geordie accent so far. How hard is it to just stick a random 'y'knaa' or a 'divven knaa' in an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reasons for muted positivity imo Still relying on the same players who've let us down for the past few season though. MS & FC, chief amongst them.

toonotl 2431 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 There are reasons for positivity. I also think there are reasons to think McClaren won't last the season, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12768 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Genuinely think he needs a full season to see how he handles the mental side of things. I think his situation would be immeasurably improved if we sold Sissoko. If he's away, I reckon we don't lose until next Christmas, the fucking cowardly arsehole.

toonotl 2431 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I agree. I hope McClaren turns it around, because I think he could do well, but based purely on results so far, it doesn't look good, does it? Totally agree on Sissoko too. He needs to be left out. His attitude is absolutely rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26982 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sissoko is a cunt. I pine for the likes of Davey Mac compared to this wanker. McCreery was average, but he had three times the heart this fucking fraud has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well after 10 games i expect us to still be bottom so do we stick with him,go down,and keep him to get us back at the first attempt,or get rid and let a new manager get out voted 2 to 1 by Moncur and the other Ashley arse licker when it comes to new signings in January.

His attitude is absolutely rubbish. You're not wrong, but I'm convinced that we'll get ourselves out of this issue, I've seen enough in our play to expect a goodly number of points from the next run of games. SM has to be brave and drop Sissoko (or somehow wrench a committed performance from him) and replace Colo as soon as possible, he's got to some how keep Mitrovic, Perez & Wijnaldum in the team while somehow making us more convincing at the back. Hopefully Tiote will add some steel and protection back there. Agree with SSSI, we need a Left Back of Janmaat's standard and a Centre Back who can slot straight into that back four.

toonotl 2431 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah. I think we'll turn it around, but we haven't performed well against a team equal to our current station since the opening day. It seems like it's more an issue of attitude rather than anything else, and that's more worrying to me than if we were just shit. Reminds me of the relegation season where we had a team of decent players, none of which had a single fuck to give between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2431 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Totally agree on the selection stuff, by the way, regarding Sissoko and Colo. I'm not so convinced Tiote is the answer to our problems though. Like the rest, it depends if he can be bothered, and going by the past 12 months or more, he hasn't cared for awhile now.

Reminds me of the relegation season where we had a team of decent players, none of which had a single fuck to give between them. I agree, but I'm hoping that we've stumbled because we've been relying on the underperforming and gutless Sissoko, in current form, I'd rather have Obertan on the wing than Moussa! Oh and I'm not saying Tiote will be the answer, just that it'd be just swell if he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2431 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah. We need points from somewhere, so McClaren may as well make a few changes in the hopes that something sticks. Judging by what he's said in the media I think he is aware Sissoko is a problem. Whether he thinks he can drop him is another matter. Hopefully he does.

Judging by what he's said in the media I think he is aware Sissoko is a problem. Whether he thinks he can drop him is another matter. Hopefully he does. Too thin a squad to make risky changes I suppose. Difference in quality between Sissoko & his deputies is vast, unfortunately his lack of application drags him down to their level and no matter how hard they work, they'll only ever be bang average. I suppose Thauvin could be given more of a crack, especially against the upcoming opposition, he may get more of the ball and as such be in a position to make more of an impact on the game. He might, however, decide it's all a bit too much like hard work and fuck off with a strain for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the relegation season where we had a team of decent players, none of which had a single fuck to give between them. I don't think he's knew his starting line up till after the Chelsea game, so you could argue his preferred team haven't played together yet against the lesser sides. I reckon the first half against the Manc arabs will have opened his eyes a bit as will the twenty minute collapse. There's little chance he'll drop Sissoko, mores the pity, and he won't be sold for a profit sitting on the bench which must be the ultimate goal for both player and fans.
