The fact that noone even bothered to do a rating until well into Page 2 is telling!I find the ratings thread hilarious after a poor performance. I've belly laughed a few times now.

our season rested on beating palace and WBA at home. We need to target a cup this year. No chance top4 and not going down. whats the difference between 6th and 11th place. who cares. I just wanna watch the team at wembley and have a good day out.The season rests on Wednesday night's match vs Newcastle
The sad thing is 18 months ago we would have looked at that team and bench and creamed ourselves. One of the best strikers in La Liga, A regular starter for Brazil, The new argentinian Bale and a couple of young talented prospects. Turns out their all not very good at football. The biggest sign that levy and scouts screwed up is playing kane, benteleb and mason in front 0f £90m worth of star buys.I'm not one to criticize the players but tonight was an absolute disgrace, no passion, no will to win, no creativity, nothing close to what our club once stood for,
Only Walker and Vorm came out of this game with any credit, the rest, including Mauricio, deserve a zero rating for their performance.
Wasn't everybody saying the same thing about Southampton not to long ago?Pauly, Bobby and Erica when he came on, shocking
Those 3 transfers have been nothing short of a disaster. Not surprising we're struggling
When your not scoring goals the whole situation turns to shit. Currently we are in a shit situation relying on a young kid (Kane) to get us out of it which is huge pressure on his very young and inexperienced shoulders
Sell or loan out our other 2 shit strikers asap and get some fresh meat in upfront. Look at the Spammers, transformed team now because they are dangerous upfront
Except we were playing away.
We lost away to Dukla in 1961 letting in four goals to boot.
This isn't a one off though is it !!?? We have been crap all season! Tonight no different. Why shouldn't people be getting hysterical? We are a laughing stick and have been all season.
He's probably one of our best players at the moment.
steady on...he's only been back 15 mins...he'll fuck it up for you miserable lot in the next game for sure
Yeah, an obviously talented 22 year old player who's started 15 PL games hasn't set the league alight yet, better get rid immediately instead of, I don't know, working with our highly paid coaching staff to improve the weak parts of his game.
They been working to get him fit for around 8 months.I imagine our coaching staff have been working with him over the past 15 months. A player that is our record signing is still an expensive luxury who keeps getting caught in possession . How much longer would you say he should be given before he is expected to deliver ? 6 months ? A year ? 3 years ? The reality is he is being kept because Levy doesn't believe in taking hits on players in the transfer market and right now I doubt he could be sold for much more than 10 m. Same with Soldado by the way. Eriksen and Lloris of course can be sold for big profits and that is what is most important to Levy.

If your judging players on 15 games, then a lot of this squad won't make it.
He's played well in half those 15 games and done well in the cups.
Go and read the match ratings for this season and you will see what I mean.
How long do you give any players?Ok so you don't agree that he is too often caught in possession through over elaboration and out muscled ? My own opinion is that if he plays it almost has to be as a second striker in a 4-4-2 or as a number 10 in a 4-4-1-1. Where he has almost no defensive responsibilities but of course Poch does not believe in either of those 2 systems. He is a perfect illustration of a player totally unsuited to the current formation and the " pressing game ".
Just to repeat my question, how long would you give him to show our investment in him as our record signing was justified ? I see nothing to indicate that it was.
my missus said that to me once. sparked da bitch out.
