Some sloppy defending but that was the best football I've seen us play for an age and against a very good team.
A simple PK conversion against WBA cost us too, and Adebayor is the highest paid player at the club.We all understand that it happens, but Soldado's inability up front to score goals is a constant theme since his arrival. And it was a 2-1 game at Etihad where a simple PK conversion and the outcome could be much much different. Oh btw, he cost the club 28 large. Soldado deserves every ounce of stick he gets. He makes massive wages and needs to perform. Simple
I have just said, we cannot afford them, or their wages. Unless one of our players turns into a Bale, Modric or Berbatov.I think the problem is that, okay, Soldado is a quality player. But he is the head of our attack and doesn't score goals. Is he Costa, Aguero, Sturridge, Rooney? No he isn't, so he isn't good enough. He needs to go, and soon. We need someone of the quality of those four
He is a technically superior, unselfish Defoe without the shot.
Yesterday I think was the perfect opportunity to take off Chadli, stick Eriksen out on the left and bring Soldado into the middle after bringing on Kane.
Thank fucking god that you're not our manager. Rose has been great this season until the past game. Eriksen has been one of our best performing players this season and probably our best outfield player last season. Soldado wasn't that bad. Yes he missed a penalty but he wasn't that bad. I'm not even trying to defend him but you saying he needs to leave based on that performance is just ridiculous. If worst comes to worst and he never plays again he's obviously a good presence to have in the locker room and it seems like everyone likes him. Having an experience player that is well liked, no matter how out of form, can't hurt this "fragile young team" because he's been successful most of his career.You wanted 2 up front when down to 10 men?
And since when has Eriksen and Rose been anything but a defensive clusterfuck against minnows, let alone City away?
You haven't thought this through. But I do think it paints a picture of how awkward including Soldado in the team is. If we want to include him, it means we have no spine. No spine and our paper thin wings is asking for cricket scores.
Soldado needs to leave. For his own careers sake and the fragile young team we have that has ridiculous potential.
It's a bummer but he has to go.

You're an idiot. Everytime I come on here you're arguing the exact same thing with someone else. I think everyone would agree that this site would be so much better without you.

You said I don't get it but I have never said sell Kaboul, I have always said that Townsend and Lennon aren't good enough, I have said that selling Ade isn't worth it because we won't get enough money for him, Schneiderlin would have been nice but I'm not bent up about losing him, in fact, I've been saying that Mason has been great and is what we need to partner Capoue. I've always said that Chadli is a good player who deserved a chance, same with Capoue and Lamela, I've said I like Kane and that I wouldn't mind him getting a chance over Soldado and that both deserve a chance over Adebayor.Why did you bring up Eriksen? He's amazing. My point is Rose behind him is a disaster waiting to happen because neither can...Ah fuck it, it's fucking OBVIOUS and you just don't get it.
I think Rose and Soldado are the weak links. Not exactly outrageous.
Why would I change my tune with Soldaho misfiring and Rose being in Liverpool mode?
If you want to talk about our manager, what has he done? Bar Rose, my team is set up almost identical to his main team this season.
He backed Ade, Capoue, Mason, Eriksen, Bentaleb, Kane, Lamela etc. He dropped players like Townsend and Lennon. And he brought in beasts. Steel.
So Poch hasn't sold Ade, Kaboul etc and brought in MS like you yanks were clamouring for. You didn't get your precious DLP and your striker and all the other grass is greener shit you pine for. I got my way.
I'm not a mod but if its true that they told cahspur to leave then
Ah yes, picking one little piece of information just like I mentioned. This has nothing to do with cahspur, he's just an example of how you drive away quality posters. FWIW I think you're wrong about Soldado as well. Not to mention the fact that if I had to ship out players at this point it would be Lennon, Townsend, Naughton, and Paulinho, of which we agree on three of them if I remember correctly.I just cut down your posts to get to the real issue. You don't give a shit about what I think of Soldado. This is more of the Cahspur clique nonsense.
Just get back into the transfer thread and wish half our players away like you always do.
Sorry you didn't get all the signings you wanted. Pretty funny how the players I was defending daily ended up being made captain and vice captain. Your thank fuck Poch does not think like me is rich coming from the who's who of the grass is greener brigade.

Like I said, I'm happy to be proven wrong and I'm glad we didn't get MS at this point because it has allowed Mason to get a chance to prove that he is quality. I'm happy we didn't get mustachio because Kaboul has shown that he can regain his old form.
Soldado is a striker and has nothing to do with getting steam rolled. You act as if throwing ade or Kane will stop us from getting thrashed.You can stop talking about Cahspur if you like. Try it.
Kabouls form will dip, as will Jan and Fazio. Danny Rose or Naughton will make sure they have too much to do.
As soon as we remove the derp from our back line, we will see the great centerbacks dominate.
We will limp from one chaotic result to another with Rose. And Soldado compounds that aspect. Eriksen and Lamela have drawbacks. You can't pile on another player that can get steamrolled so easily like Soldado.
It's already happened btw.
I'm guessing you are replying to gibbon or arcwelderAh yes, picking one little piece of information just like I mentioned.
