Well, we warned Palace that he goes on good runs and shit runs, and they didn't listen.
Maybe they'll get relegated.

Though apparently we wouldn't offer him a long-term contract so he's back to playing FIFA and Mario Kart on £60k a week wages at LFC. Hard life but someone has to do it.

If only we'd spent stupid money in summer 2012, then we might be UCL regulars. Oh well. Let bygones be bygones and whatnot. Although equally as ridiculous/stupid are West Brom for turning down 2 bids north of £20m for Berahino.

Meanwhile, French sources claim we offered Gouffran to Marseille as well as Thauvin, and they weren't very keen on such a proposition. But then why would they be?

To be fair I'm pretty sure Krul gives away 3/4 goals a season as a result of shit kicking.

If it comes off, Doumbia could be a great signing.

I'm more amazed someone is willing to pay for him.
Also a bit rare for Ashley that the alleged £200,000 is the most we're getting for a player in either of the two 2015-16 windows.
If his form from last season was any indication, I reckon we'd have less.

He's wanted to buy the entire Ligue 1 tbf.

Townsend is a weird one - I think Matty Phillips (who is about £5-6m cheaper) would have been better, but he would be an improvement on Sissoko and Thauvin at least. In terms of Thauvin, I dunno - he was in the Worst Team of the Year from some French publications, who then found it hilarious we spunked £13m+Cabella on him. Cabella was a CAM we wasted out wide and then carried on his poor form when moved to his allegedly favoured position.
Ironically, I was wondering earlier if we're over-spending, given that (if Townsend goes through) we will have somehow spent £83million to end up in 18th.

Might have been wishful thinking in my case given Swansea were the likeliest looking to swap with us.
Norwich might be a better bet, particularly if they carry on defending like they did yesterday.

I see. And not a form of cake as I for some reason thought... maybe food is playing too much of a role in my thought process. Again.
Well, we wouldn't be 18th if everyone was only playing well in select games (Norwich, Liverpool, Spurs, West Ham - that's it). There is a major consistency problem but at least the likes of Perez, Wijnaldum and all the rest have scored to keep us remotely in contention - if we were still playing a team reliant on the likes of Williamson, Riviere, Gouffran and all the rest like we were in the 9 defeats in 10 sequence from last season, we'd be down with Villa by now. Its just different shades of shit. Not sure why Shelvey is lumped in given he has only played two games, plus he had a good debut and got the assist yesterday.
I thought McClaren was a bad appointment when he was made, and he's been even worse than feared. They won't fire him now though, even if a better manager - or at least less shot by a shit year of results like he has - walked up to St. James' Park and begged for the role.

Also agreed John Stones is massively overrated.

Emphasis on Lascelles at left-back, although pretty sure at CPFC the idea - if there was one - when he came on was to go to a 3 at the back, and then Bolasie scored within 2 minutes of the re-start. I know at MCFC he had to play LB after Mbabu limped off, and De Bruyne continued having a field day, but then probably would've helped.
As much as we disagree on Wijnaldum - agreed he's annoyingly anonymous in a lot of games, but when he can be arsed he looks our only real goal threat - what the fuck does englanche even mean? Saying that, Gouffran is still shit. Also, did we bring Marveaux yesterday just to show he's still alive or is there literally no one else left?
Also, who's praising McClaren? My Twitter timeline was full of people questioning him for getting a squad with the players in it into a relegation battle, and there's a growing number of people who want him to fuck off. He's also still saying bollocks that fails to correspond with reality in his press conferences.

I'm guessing that as Southampton recently used 3 at the back tactics when they beat Watford and that we were the better side in the FA Cup tie, even with gifting them the win, it was used. But the stats indicate we were poor and so to do the anecdotes. Its an oddity as the teamsheet Tweet before kick-off had 4-4-1-1, then essentially a 3-5-1-1, before ending by the sounds of it in a 4-2-1-3, and being poor in all of them. Regardless, our away form is concerning - lowest away scorers in the league is not a badge of pride.
Lascelles I guess was easy to make me a little uneasy as he was poor at left-back against Man City and was last given a larger role in the humilation by Palace, but I've seen a few saying he was one of the only few that tried. I still think as we only had 4 match-fit defenders (although I'm guessing Steven Taylor will be around for Everton).
Special top marks surely for Gouffran, Perez and Riviere inexplicably sending easy headers off target.
I saw that one of his players broke his glasses during the melee. If it was a defender then penalty enough should be having to buy him his new pair.

Yeah there's something lacking coherence tactically with his decision making, and its very odd that an injury to Paul Dummett of all people means we have to go for a destabilising personnel and tactical shift. The system used v West Ham seemed to work better, and surely even with Lascelles or Mbemba out of position at LB, it shouldn't have lead to an immediate double whammy of changes that sapped of the good qualities of that afternoon.
Seems to be a forward thing to - apparently Janmaat and Shelvey were seen complainiing the forwards didn't do enough moving.
NUFC have been in the bottom six since the opening month, and only 5 wins in 23 for McClaren... most clubs in this position would've pulled the trigger by now.

I swear Mitrovic has missed easy chances in all our games since Christmas. So as much as he works hard, he's clearly not the answer. Maybe we need to go out and find somebody who will be, as well as finally buying a capable left-back.

Dummett and Haiadara are both injured - we're using Lascelles (CB) at full-back. Or Mbemba. Or 3 at the back with Gouffran in an LWB role. No idea either which way tbh.
