Bit of a knee jerk reaction.

Betty. That was a very good read i have been posting the same for over 2 years.
The players are and have been for some time the problem.
We have a few who really do have pride in the badge but unfortunately some of them are not good enough really either.
If ole was to be ruthless
Valencia herrera and mata should go on free's get what they can for darmian rojo periera sanchez young bailly and jones.
If pogba and ddg want out then sell them to the highest bidder particularly if we don't make top 4.
In romero and henderson we have two very good keepers.
Tuanzebe could come in and do no worse than jones bailly and rojo.
Dalot and shaw both need cover and competition. Young Valencia rojo and darmian provide no competition and really poor cover.
Midfield
Herrera on his way
Pogna possibly too
Fred has shown very little so far
Matic on the decline
Mctom is the only relative bright spot
Up front jessie is neither this nor that.
Martial has been worse than shocking.
Sanchez likewise. Although i would play sanchez every time before martial.
Rash. Hot n cold but really looks like he wants to learn and outs in a lot in every game.
Lukaku. Scores goals in right set up this is not the right set up.

So we are at a crossroad again.
I say promote from within where possible.
Sell or realease any 8 or 9 from the above list and buy the players ole wants to fit his system.
Moyes lvg jose were all sacked and the club backed the players. Wrongly imo.
Backing the staff over the management rarely works.
The tail has been wagging the dog.
Over 85% of us here say the squad is weak.
Every pundit in fact every man and his dog knows that the squad is cole to the worst its ever been.
Iur top 2 players in terms of ability want to leave.
Thats also a big indication they know exactly where our squad is ability wise.
We have martial and sanchez on 250 and 410k per week on long contracts and producing little or nothing.
Rojo 160k per week
Pogba 275k per week.
It really is a mess.
The man sacking the managers is the one who should be sacked.
Player power backed by the dictatorship is and has been proven to disastrous.

Crikey Ed ( whichever one made this an 'article' ), I feel privileged! Never had a post put up with its own link and an introduction. Just out of interest, how do you choose post that are to become 'articles'? Thanks anyway Ed.

Hope you, and all the Eds and posters are well.

{Ed033's Note - A long post over 700 words might be considered as an article, if it's written well enough

Oh right, thanks for the reply Ed. Snappy must get lots of articles put up them - most of his posts are over 7000 words, never mind 700 :)

{Ed001's Note - you missed the 'written well enough' bit ;-)

All joking aside, it also has to be a fresh post, rather than a reply, as we don't want to ruin a thread by taking a post from it and putting it up out of context on its own as an article. Most of Shaps' stuff tends to be replies, so they are not able to be considered.}
