Mea Culpa!

As it is my second offence I do think that 'Sackcloth and ashes' are order of the day !
Perhaps I am not quite as punctilious as many believe.

They're all running around a field with Banjos trying to hit cows. That's probably why they can't score - it's poor training technique!

Piss poor. It’s as simple as that.

Ayew is weaker than a 3 year old and gets knocked off the ball by a gust of wind, looks as much a goal threat as Calvin Andrew.

Sorloth poor desire and body language vs Boro, barely wins any headers, gets outmuscled by smaller players and has no close control or composure on the ball.

Benteke has been a joke in front of goal for 16 months.

Wickham is coming off 2 years out with a major injury and cannot be relied on.

Once again we lack options thanks to our rubbish transfer dealings. Meanwhile Glenn Murray is still banging the goals in.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Roy has just announced at the press conference that Wickham is out for a further unspecified period.
I have sympathy with Wickham but he just doesn’t seem able to get fit.
I think we should attempt to loan him out in January if he regains fitness to see if he can play for a sustained period without breaking down.
I fail to see how we can include him as a viable member of the first team squad when he’s never available.
If he can prove his fitness on loan then the subject could be revisited as there’s a good player there.

Think Connor got annoyed at not featuring Wed so hes had one of his thigh strains to get even

The mark of a striker is that he tucks the ball in the onion bag. Obviously in the modern game, strikers need to have a bit more about them, but if Ayew's last two games had been his first two for us (if that makes sense) then I'm sure we'd be praising him for two tidy match-winning finishes.

Whatever works, works well.
