Tick up

Easy comment to make after beating relegation fodder.

He's also got the best squad since we were promoted and we look on for one the worst finishes.

Regarding yesterday's win, we had something ridiculous like 37% possession, at home, against a championship team in effect:

It might be the result that counts and I'm happy for the 3 points, but let's not go crazy. Those massive cracks aren't so easy to fill over.

Ranieri won the PL with Leicester with an average of just 44.8% possession. As Fulham showed, it's what you do with the possession, not how much you have. Your relentlessly negative comments are starting to look silly given we have now won 5 and drawn 2 in our last 10 games, including wins against Leicester, Wolves and of course Man City. Early in the season we were not playing well, but now we have the form of a top 10 team. I'm not saying Roy is perfect and I question some of his decisions, but his results speak for themselves. If we'd given Fulham space they would have passed their way through us, but as we were so compact they were forced to go sideways and backwards all the time.

Based on our current form it is not unrealistic that we could get 6-9 points from the next 5 games which would see us almost safe for another season with 8 games to go. Apart from one season under Pardew we have always finished stronger, so fingers crossed and keep your chin up, the team may even reach your expectations.

Think I'll leave it up to others to comment on your latest sarcastic post.

At least Roy provokes dividing opinion on here!

Bit puzzled by Schlupps inclusion from the start yesterday, I think he can have a decent impact as a sub and with relative anonymity in a midfield 3 however when he has specific responsibilities such as providing the wing threat and tracking back (yesterday), he looks a bit out of his league and somewhat bewildered. Still a bit unsure on Ayew but feel hesitant to criticise him as he puts in a shift at least.

Would have liked to of seen Sako on the wing from the start or earlier yesterday as at least he is a direct player with attacking intent, Schluppy gets a nose bleed out wide hence seeing him drift centrally too often yesterday. I thought Meyer for Jimmy was a no brainer as well.

All being said this is very much spectator management talk which I’d undoubtedly feel far more strongly about had we not won yesterday! However, we did win, Benteke looked strong albeit still needs to build confidence, Batshuayi looks very promising and I’ll give Roy the benefit of the doubt for the time being.... until we next lose.

Can never understand negativity following a win, last seven days we’ve beaten Tottenham, got Doncaster in the draw, 4 points in the league and done some excellent business in the window, cheer up!

COYP!!!
