nowt in the final third today. somebody should tell gus that we have to score goals to win games. we never look like scoring today.like most games, huff and puff not good enough - too many passengers in our team. dont look good at the moment for us.
 

Then I suggest you google "quote mining" and then you'll understand what you did. I never said he was perfect all round, I said he was the perfect person out of our options to deal with the physicality and agro of the game. The ability to hold off big defenders and lay balls off to runners, it's what he has done for us so far this season.

WTF the fuck are you going on about? you said he has proven he is perfect (in the role you mentioned) and I laughed at it and said he hasn't, albeit he's the best we have for role

just to remind you, let me quote it for you in full then!

"Altidore has proven he is perfect in the role of occupying physical defenders"

how the fuck was I "quote mining"? fuck me! :rolleyes:
 
What did that have to do with heart you clown?

Didn't want it, didn't force the issue. Half a dozen of them aren't interested when they can see the next signing on fee just on the horizon.

I could insult, but that would make me the same as you.
 
Misery by name...
We could have 10 games in hand and it wouldn't make a difference. Look at the other results today, all the teams around us scored and most of them made a fight of it. We have gone.
 
So why not play a stronger side against hull? The fans wouldn't have cared half as much about today's result if we actually tried against hull

What are you talking about. He played his 'strongest side' today and look how that worked out...we were in it at Hull 0-0 @ 70mins with AJ and Borini coming on as they tired...stop blaming Gus. It's just a very long season with a poor quality squad...

No we haven't though.

3 games in hand to Norwich who we also have to play.

It's not over, not yet anyway.

We have, but he's out on loan to Leeds. Surely he's better than this current bunch? Borini excluded.

I called you a clown because of the type of drivel you write in the first paragraph. There was no lack of effort today.

He made the rod for his own back by selecting a weak team against hull. If we had beat Palace he would have made a good decision and accepted the praise. however we didn't so he should rightly so take the blame

So after we draw 0-0 at Norwich, lose at City and Liverpool we will have one game in hand and still be 5 points behind them.

Result and performance make my case for me. If you can't call it as it is because of an agenda you have zero credibility.

"Altidore has proven he is perfect in the role of occupying physical defenders"

By putting in bold the section "proven he is perfect" and omitting everything else that led up to it. To anyone not paying attention it makes it sound as if I was saying he is perfect in his role as a CF. If that wasn't your intention, then don't go highlighting singular bits of text. For this edgy game out of the two options we had, Scocco and Altidore he WAS the perfect option, because scocco couldn't have filled that role.

If you see what I said in FULL context.

"With the physicality it'll have to be Altidore coming on, Scocco is just getting fit and won't deal well with this nervy/agro. Altidore should hold these big defenders up and free Borini etc to run off him."

monty79 "It's a sad state when we are calling for Jozy to come on to save us.
Lord help us."

Not really, Altidore has proven he is perfect in the role of occupying physical defenders, he has the ability to make space and lay off nice passes to players running off him. Given the congestion, this is what we need.


Full context, aint it a bitch.

Why didn't you just put "altidore is shite" then he could have just liked it

I'm not into credibility. The manager picked the wrong team, 2nd week in a row and his substitutions consistently leave us with no shape whatsoever. You assume every defeat is because the players 'don't care' which is evidently not the case.
