How is it that everyone can see how fking st that goalkeeper is yet the manager keeps playing him. He's a joke!
Because there isn’t an alternative.Alvin's son is equally st and was only signed as pretty much a training keeper for the strikers. Which of course means his hands are fine..

Pellegrini really has no idea how to maximise this squad. Really, no idea. Time to take the pay off bullet Daves and get a manager in who can manage a mid table team because Pelle is clueless.
Problem is that last goal will hide the shambles and possibly save him for another few weeks by which time we'll be in the bottom three. RichB said:
As I said, I think he wanted 1st team football. Perhaps someone can confirm? My understanding is that he opted to be released but hadn't found a team when Liverpool came knocking and I guess it wasn't a bad opportunity.
Understand he wanted to play but the Liverpool gig was on my ever going to be short term followed by bench. Now he did very well for us and I am sure it’s not fun sitting on our bench than yours, but was Fab injured before you let Adrian go?Adam B said:

As much as I loved what he was trying to do, it’s looking like an abject failure now. This was nothing to do with the keeper today ( although our”fans” did as much as they could to destroy him). Something has happened,because I saw a team today that was shorn of any bravery in wanting the ball,being committed in winning it,or wanting to make something happen.Yarma and Anderson were both bottling tackles, and Fredericks was literally hiding at the end and shaking his head when someone looked to pass to him.
Pellers has spent a lot of money, and very few are coming good.

Paper over the cracks just like the Newcastle game but conceding 2/3 goals a game doesn’t hide anything.

While I agree about the low morale I would say that two of Spurs goals were down to the Jiminy Cricket and if the defence is petrified that he will goof every cross and punch our own players in the head then I can understand why we look wobbly at the back. I absolutely fail to understand why MP is not giving Alvin Martin's lad a try - obstinance is all I can imagine. As much as I loved what he was trying to do, it’s looking like an abject failure now.

As long as we're not bottom at Xmas we will be fine.
We'll be in the bottom three. Looking at the fixtures I can't see where our next point's coming from. Yesterday was worse than most of the st served up by grant.
Pathetic, spineless display from KO; we'd given up the moment maureen was appointed.
Incompent manager, disinterested, lazy players - all of them aside from Ant's cameo, utterly st signings, and the worst GK I've ever seen.
At the moment this will only end one place, and as of 08:00 today nothing's changed.
Also, how much rolling about from spuds, tossers FFS.
