He moved to Liverpool, I think. I wonder if Poch is waiting to see how well he has recovered from his cruciate injury. He looks a bit overweight at the moment, but I loved his play yesterday. It reminded me of Kane. Poch is still in touch with him.

It was Ings that went to Liverpool not Jay Rodriguez
Thanks for the correction. I remember now, because I wondered whether Poch was going to bring him and then he had a cruciate injury.

Probably because of the bad injury he had. Looked good last night though.

Any intelligent or thoughtful responses to my view of the game? Thought not...

The extra fixture is hardly going to make a difference, better pitch, we'll dominate the ball and stroke it around in 2nd gear, they'll be doing the running around, not us. It's hardly as if we'll be playing a big team in a high intensity match.
Also it amazes me when people say 'if we play like we play in the next match' because that never happens, different intensity, different attitudes, different pitch, different set of circumstances, it's not going to be anywhere near the same match when we play Man Utd.

Ha. Same old xenophobic bull about foreign players lacking passion and not wanting to tackle. Lamela is probably the most passionate in the team.

Can't blame them for thinking this when some of our moronic Twitter posters think Lamela is "weak" because he was out of the Newport match with a bruised bum.
“Lacks any passion or drive" - I don't think this criticism could be levelled at the majority of our squad, let alone Lamela.
"doesn’t like to tackle or be tackled" - who the fuck likes being tackled?

That'll be me.
It meant I no longer had to try and get my feet to do something useful with the ball- which they were very bad at- and could go back to using them for kicking lumps out of people- which they were very good at.
This was back when football was a proper man's game, you understand- anyone who could actually play was of no real use to a team: and kicking lumps out of people was a highly-valued skill.
If someone tackled me it meant I could legitimately hack at their legs for a while in retaliation. And that's what football is supposed to be all about.*
*I'm actually not totally joking here. Football began as what was basically a fight between neighbouring villages with an inflated pig's bladder bobbing around somewhere in the melee. The good old days...
Accidentally leaked?
Yah. Poch should now use this to make sure we absolutely destroy them in the reply. If this doesn’t rile up a few who needed riling up on Saturday, then nothing will.
Crewe held us to a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup many moons ago, before getting spanked 13-2 in the replay...

Its not xenophobic, it's just stupidly based of a 15 minute cameo against Southampton

In a game where those playing 75+ mins contributed roughly the same (nothing (bar Davies & Kane for the goal)).
